Abstract

The ALICE silicon pixel detector (SPD) constitutes the two innermost layers of the inner tracking system (ITS). The basic building block of the SPD is the half-stave carrying two detector ladders. The half-stave is equipped with a multi-chip module (MCM) and an optical fibre link for control and readout. A 5-layer aluminium/polyimide bus ensures the distribution of power and signals on each half-stave. The half-staves are mounted on a light-weight carbon-fibre structure with an integrated evaporative cooling system. An overview of the SPD development and the current status of the construction are presented.
