Abstract

The authors describe the readout system that has been developed for the ALEPH minivertex detector at LEP. The design makes use of capacitively coupled double-sided silicon strip detectors and custom-designated low-noise VLSI CMOS electronics, mounted on ceramic carriers which simultaneously serve as mechanical support and substrates for thick-film hybrid circuitry. The amplification of as many as 1536 analog channels of information using only 30 input/output lines is realized. The detector system with its peripheral driving and readout electronics is described, and first test results with a light source and a particle beam are given
