Hybrid pixel detectors have been the mainstay of vertex detection at the LHC because of their ability to provide clean images of particle events at extremely high rates. The Medipix and Timepix ASICs have demonstrated that the same technology can be applied to multiple other applications. These applications extend from the detection of background radiation in the classroom, to dosimetry in...

Allpix Squared has seen more than four years of continuous development and has been employed in a wide range of scenarios. Recently, the first major release since the initial stable version, 2.0, has been released. This version contains more than 1500 commits over the last feature release 1.6 and brings major improvements in many areas. Among them is a major rework of the framework core,...

With the growing need for simulations of higher complexities, performance is critical to achieving acceptable simulation throughput. The large degree of independence of single events in high energy physics make them highly suited for parallel execution. For the release of Allpix Squared V2 the implementation of multithreading in the framework was completely rewritten from scratch to make use...

Allpix Squared has become a powerful tool for studying and understanding complex silicon detectors. At the same time, the simple set up of simulation flows, the possibilities of visualising among others the charge carrier motion, the wide application range and the good availability of the software via e.g. CVMFS and local installations make the framework a valuable tool also for educational...

Pyxel is a novel python tool for end-to-end detection chain simulation i.e. from detector optical effects to readout electronics effects. It is an easy-to-use framework to host and pipeline any detector effect model. It is suited for simulating both Charge-Coupled Devices, CMOS Image Sensors and Mercury Cadmium Telluride hybridized arrays. It is conceived as a collaborative tool to promote...
