Abstract

Silicon tracking systems will be fundamental components of the tracking systems for both planned major SSC experiments. Fig. 1 shows the central tracking system and the calorimeter of the detector being proposed by the Solenoidal Detector Collaboration (SDC). The small shaded central area is the Silicon Tracking System (STS). Despite its seemingly small size, it occupies a volume of more than 5 meters in length and 1 meter in diameter and is an order of magnitude larger than any silicon detector system previously built.
