Noise Investigations for the Tracker Turicensis of the LHCb Experiment

The LHCb Tracker Turicensis is a silicon micro strip detector with low signal- to-noise ratio. On strip recorded data is buffered in a pipeline, numbered for synchronisation purposes and serialised for transmission within the data acquisition system. These processes affect both pedestals and noise. In this thesis, a method to calculate the noise taking into account the pipeline column number and its encoding is described. Furthermore, the effect on pedestals related to the pipeline column number and monitoring of low noise channels will be described
