We present a cosmic rack, the FinnCRack. This device is a silicon strip detector-based telescope that measures tracks of cosmic particles. The FinnCRack is constructed using components of the Tracker ...Outer Barrel (TOB) of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The device is part of the TOB integration and verification effort together with its sister telescope, the CERN CRack. Both CRacks mimick a six degree slice of the TOB barrel structure. The FinnCRack is intended to (a) serve as a platform for TOB software development, both analysis and online software such as run control; (b) be used for noise and cluster shape studies; (c) act as a reference tracker in detector studies; and (d) provide a testbed for track-based alignment testing and development. The construction and setup of the FinnCRack have been documented in detail—the entire chain from connecting cables to physics data analysis—and the operation guide was tested in practice. Both these actions serve the purpose of training and attracting future HEP students. We also showed that we were able to measure cosmic muon tracks.
We report on test beam results obtained with a 32.5
cm
2 microstrip detector processed on an n-type 380
μm thick magnetic Czochralski (MCZ) grown silicon substrate with 1200
Ωcm effective ...resistivity. The full depletion voltage of the as-processed detector was 420
V with a leakage current of 2
μA. The AC coupled detector had 1024 p
+ strips, 10
μm by width and 6.154
cm by length with a pitch of 50
μm. The detector was irradiated with 10
MeV protons to 1.6×10
14
1
MeV neutron equivalent fluence and annealed for 345 days at room temperature. The post-irradiation full depletion voltage of the detector was 225
V. The leakage current at the full depletion measured at −10
°C was 261
μA. The beam tests were carried out at the CERN H
2 area using a Silicon Beam Telescope, which consists of pairs of horizontal and vertical position sensitive silicon detectors. This telescope determines the tracks of incoming particles and hence provides a reference measurement for the detector characterization. In the beam test an average signal to noise ratio of 3 with a spatial resolution of 20
μm and a particle detection efficiency of 36% were measured. These results show that the MCZ device detected particles, which encourages further investigations of MCZ silicon as a detector material. The poor performance of the MCZ detector may be explained by the problems observed in the reference telescope.

A beam telescope providing precision track measurements as reference for other detectors has been upgraded in the CERN H2 test beam. The apparatus was completely rebuilt from the detector wafers and ...front-end electronics to the data acquisition system. The new detector setup consists of eight
5.6×5.6
cm
2
sized DC coupled silicon microstrip detectors. Typical position resolution values of about
7.5
μm
were measured. Details of the setup are described and results from the recent beam tests are reported.
Performance of single-sided DC-coupled silicon strip detectors is studied in the CERN H2 test beam. A great emphasis is put on the calibration of the detector response as well as on the geometric ...alignment of the detector planes. Performance results are presented for different angles of incidence for the particles.
