Status of the MANTA project — •Michael Deveaux — GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
Building a next generation of ultra-light particle tracking detector calls for sensors combining good (∼10 µ m) spatial resolution with fast (∼10 ns) time stamping, very light material budget and low power dissipation.
Thanks to their fine granularity, their low (0.05% X0) material budget and the possibility of achieving a low energy consumption well below ∼ 50 mW/cm2, next generation CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors are considered as valuable technology candidate for this application. On the other hand, their time stamping capability and rate capability have still to be improved in order to handle reliably particle fluxes of 10−100 MHz/cm2.
Being formed under the umbrella of the DRD3, the MANTA collaboration aims to respond to this challenge by developing a versatile sensor design. This design is intended to yield a single ASIC, which may be configured by slow control to the needs of different tracking detectors.
The presentation introduces the vision of MANTA and discusses the underlying technological concept.
