Descrizione
We report on the design and construction of a triple-GEM detector as a new Inner
Tracker (IT) for the KLOE-2 experiment at the Frascati Phi-factory. The IT is composed
of four tracking layers, each providing an independent 2-dimensional space point.
Each layer is a fully cylindrical triple-GEM detector.
The front-end electronics is based on the GASTONE ASIC, specifically developed for
this detector, a charge amplifier with digital output integrating 64 channels in one
single chip.
After three years of R&D the construction of the first layer has started, with the aim
of completing the detector by middle of 2012.
We report on the R&D achievements, including the construction process, the results of
two beam-tests with prototype detectors, and the present realization status of the final
detector and electronics.
