The requirements for the electronics of an experiment at the international linear collider (ILC) are driven by the bunch structure of the accelerator short trains (1ms) with bunch to bunch lag of 0.3μs interrupted by long empty intervals (199ms) and the precision physics. Based on developments of the CALICEcollaboration a system for high granular dense calorimetry is presented. The talk covers the system aspects — of compact sensors as Si-diodes and multi-pixel Geiger mode photo sensors, — of the electromechanics with components embedded into the PCB’s, — of integrating the functionality needed nearby the sensor into low power ASIC’s, — of a DAQ-chain, in which each channel triggers on its own and the data selection is installed into PC’s and — of calibrating the calorimeter. With the high number of 100 million channels the power consumption and cooling have to be investigated carefully. Calculations demonstrate, that active cooling inside the calorimeters can be avoided. But essential for this goal is using the low duty cycle (0.5%) of the accelerator to power cycle the major consumers and designing an ASIC for low power (25μW/channel). For the power cycling a concept is developed, which keeps the current fluctuation local to avoid EMIproblems and to supply the in-detector electronics with DCcurrent through wires weith moderate cross section. Some of the ideas are already realized in a prototype for physics and component studies. The setup integrates 14 thousand channels and was installed for two month at CERNtestbeam. 200 million of electrons and pions are collected and 15T-Byte of data are stored. The data nicely show the details of a shower development needed to prove the particle flow algorithm for high energy resolution. I. GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR THE ELECTRONICS DEFINED BY ACCELERATOR AND PHYSICS In the accelerator ILC electrons and positrons will collide at energies above 0.5TeV. This allows high precision physics with heavy particles, but the electrons and positrons interact at low rate. Due to the superconducting acceleration the bunches are packed into 1 ms long trains interrupted by long empty periods of 199ms. During the trains the bunches are separated by 0.3μs. By using these features in the electronic design the system can be kept adequate and at some stages simple. From the electronics it is requested to follow the fast bunch-to-bunch structure (0.3μs) and even provide faster pulse analysis for signals, for which time information improves the energy measurement. But fast signals appear only during the trains 0.5% of the time. For the rest of the time the fast electronics is not needed. The data aquisition system can take the low occupancy and the long breaks between the trains as opportunity to minimize the infrastructure inside the detector. The physics of e+e−-collisions on the TeV-scale also defines requirements for the design of the detector. To reach the aim for high precision measurements of the properties of the heavy particles new concepts and technologies have to be developed. As case study the decay chain of heavy particles into vector bosons and further into jets is used to formulate the detector requirements. t,H→ Z,W→ leptons or jets The detector design aims for distinguishing the involved vector boson by reconstruction of its mass even from the jets. This needs tracking, vertex detection and a high energy resolution even for jets:
