Pixel Detectors and electronics
- For the pixel detectors, the likely choice is one of the available hybrid active pixel detectors. The leading candidates are the pixel detectors/readout developed for CERN's Alice experiment, and the FPIX chips for Fermilab's BTEV experiment.
- PHENIX members are currently involved in experiment NA60 at CERN, which uses the Alice pixel detectors, in order to gain experience with this system.
Strip Detectors and electronics
- Leading candidates for the strip detectors are the commercially available detectors for example Hammamatsu, or the detectors currently under development at BNL.
- For the front-end electronics, there are several candidates: the SCTA chips or the ABCD chips of CERN's ATLAS experiment; Fermilab's SVX4 chips, CMS's APV25 chips, Alice's Pilot chip.
