HELIX irradiation:

  • Irradiation results of HELIX 128 1.
  • Irradiation results of HELIX 128 2.2.
  • HELIX 3.0 irradiation: pipeline capacitor leakage .
  • Proposal for irradiation tests of the HELIX3.0 final production batch.
  • ZEUS Note (02-005) about the irradiation of the HELIX3.0 for the ZEUS Micro Vertex Detector by Jaap Velthuis.

  • MVD electronics design pictures :

  • Grounding of   Detector  (6-1-'99) ,
  • ground principle: star, (19-1-'99) & proposed ground with patchbox
  • Instructions for connecting the cable shielding of the PatchBox cables.(1/2000)
  • Analog cable overview, from patchbox to VW-area.
  • Analog readout link measurements. + common mode measurement
  • Detector Control Interlock (6-1-'99).
  • HELIX 3.0 token programming,
  • Simulation of Fail Safe Token in verilog;
    4 readout cycles, every time the chips are reprogrammed for being a first- or last-
    chip in the chain, or bypass the next/previous chip in the chain.
  • Patch-box CMOS driver connection : original and proposed (as discussed 9/3/2000 @nikhef)
