Description

A high resolution (sigma<3um) beam telescope based on monolithic active pixel sensors is being developed within the EUDET collaboration. EUDET is a coordinated detector R&D programme for a future international linear collider providing test beam infrastructure to detector R&D groups. The telescope consists of six sensor planes with a pixel pitch of 30um and can be operated inside a solenoidal magnetic field of up to 1.2T. In the last year the demonstrator telescope was tested and used by different groups at test beams at CERN and DESY. In this presentation the high resolution beam telescope based on pixel sensors will be described. Design aspects to ease users interfacing to the general purpose mechanical setup and the data acquisition will be explained. Also a modular analysis package has been developed and used to analyse the data. Users can integrate at different levels of the analysis chain. In summer 2008 the demonstrator version of the telescope will be used by five different users (CALICE, DEPFET, MimoRoma, ISIS, SiLC). In this presentation the performance of the telescope in the different test beam will be summarised and the results will be discussed. The audience will learn how to apply for the use of this telescope and which tools are ready for the community.
