Abstract

The Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) of the BABAR experiment at PEP-II is described. This is the crucial device for the measurement of the B meson decay vertices to extract CP-asymmetries. it consists of five layers of double-sided AC-coupled Silicon strip detectors, read out by a full-custom integrated circuit, capable of simultaneous acquisition, digitization and transmission of data. It represents the core of the BABAR tracking system, providing position measurements with a precision of 10 pin (inner layers) and 30 mu m (outer layers). The relevant performances of the SVT are presented, and the experience acquired during the construction, installation and the first five years of data-taking is described. Innovative solutions are highlighted, like the sophisticated alignment procedure, imposed by the design of the silicon tracker, integrated in the beam-line elements and mechanically separated from the other parts of BABAR. The harshness of the background conditions in the interaction region required several studies on the radiation damage of the sensors and the front-end chips, whose results are presented. Over the next five years the luminosity is predicted to increase by a factor three, leading to radiation and occupancy levels significantly exceeding the detector design. Extrapolation of future radiation doses and occupancies is shown together with the expected detector performance and lifetime. Upgrade scenarios to deal with the increased luminosity and backgrounds are discussed.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
