Assembly and qualification procedures of CMS forward pixel detector modules

The CMS pixel detector is located at the core of the CMS all-silicon tracker and consists of three barrel layers (BPIX) and two end-cap disks (FPIX) on each side of the interaction region. About 1000 detector modules were built and tested at Purdue University from June 2006 to March 2008, and delive...

Description
Summary:The CMS pixel detector is located at the core of the CMS all-silicon tracker and consists of three barrel layers (BPIX) and two end-cap disks (FPIX) on each side of the interaction region. About 1000 detector modules were built and tested at Purdue University from June 2006 to March 2008, and delivered to Fermilab for the construction of FPIX disks. This paper describes the assembly and qualification procedures of the CMS FPIX detector modules.
