Design and studies of micro-strip stacked module prototypes for tracking and trigger at the SLHC

Prototype silicon microstrip modules meant to generate Level 1 trigger information in future tracker implementations at super-high luminosity accelerators have been built using spare components from the current CMS Tracker and tested on a 120 GeV muon beam at the CERN SPS North Area. Tracking information from a silicon microstrip beam telescope has also been used in order to precisely reconstruct tracks and incidence angles. Data has been collected from prototypes with different geometries and interconnection schemes and at different angles of beam incidence, simulating the effect of a solenoidal magnetic field on particles of different transverse momentum p
