Abstract

Construction of EUDET pixel telescope will significantly improve the test beam infrastructure for the ILC vertex detector studies. The telescope, based on the Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS), will consist of up to six readout planes and will be initially installed at an electron beam line at DESY. A dedicated study was performed to understand the position measurement in the telescope and optimize its performance by suggesting the best plane setup. The approach based on the analytical track fitting method allows for determination of the expected measurement uncertainty and for comparison of different telescope setups without time consuming event simulation. The proposed method also turns out to be little sensitive to the possible telescope misalignment.
