Assembly studies for silicon detector modules

The search for new phenomena in particle physics requires tracking detectors with very high accuracy. The precise mechanical implementation of the detector components will contribute significantly to the spatial resolution of the tracker and thus determine the track finding capability. The precise assembly of each single detector module is therefore an important requirement. f the 14 prototype detector modules we assembled consists of two silicon sensors with dimensions of 63×64 mm2, which are glued into a carbon fibre frame. For these modules, we developed special assembly and gluing procedures in order to achieve a positioning accuracy in the micrometer range.
