Abstract
The CMD3 experiment has been operating at the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider, at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, since December 2010. Its main goal is to measure the hadronic cross sections necessary to evaluate the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The discrepancy between the theoretical calculations and the experimental results obtained at the Brookhaven experiments is approximately 3.7sigma. The comparison between the results of the new “g-2” experiment at Fermilab and the theoretical calculation with the new experimental contributions from CMD3 could confirm the discrepancy, which is a new important hint of New Physics. A key element for the success the CMD3 experiment is the tracking detector, which is a drift chamber built in the year 2009 at INFN of Lecce. Due to aging effects, its replacement is necessary, so that an innovative tracking detector, named TraPId (Tracking and Particle Identification), has been designed: an ultra-light drift chamber equipped with cluster counting/timing readout techniques, which exploits the expertise gained with the successful construction of the MEG II drift chamber. The drift chamber proposed for CMD3 will be also the prototype for the tracking system of the future Super Charm-Tau Factory detector (SCTF). In this paper, the new design of TraPId is described, with a focus on the mechanical design of the end plates, their novel tension recovery scheme and the expected performances.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
