23. Simulation tools for radiation detectors before and after irradiation

Joern Schwandt (Hamburg University (DE))

19/08/2021, 13:00

New Features

Overview of simulations tools and techniques for irradiated silicon detectors

5. Modeling of charge trapping after radiation damage in Allpix Squared

Jory Sonneveld (Nikhef National institute for subatomic physics (NL))

19/08/2021, 13:20

New Features

Radiation damage in silicon causes changes in the full depletion voltage, leakage current, and causes trapping of electric charge. This results in a decreased performance in silicon detectors as a result of decreased charge collection efficiency. At the large hadron collider, unprecedented levels of radiation will be seen by the next pixel detectors to be installed in the four large LHC...

6. Digitizer plug-in for Krummenacher CSA

Pinelopi Christodoulou (Czech Technical University in Prague (CZ))

19/08/2021, 13:40

New Features

Spectral fidelity, sub-pixel resolution and accurate timing are of particular importance for spectroscopic X-ray imaging as well as single particle track reconstruction. The maximum achievable detector performance strongly depends on the signal formation in the sensor, the transfer function of the charge sensitive preamplifier and the applied energy threshold.
For Timepix-like hybrid pixel...

2. Simulations of ATLAS ITk strip detectors in Allpix-Squared

Radek Privara (Palacky University (CZ))

User applications & studies

The ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) is the future central tracking system designed for the high-luminosity upgrade of the ATLAS Experiment. It will consist of pixel detectors at small radius close to the beam pipe and large-area strip detectors surrounding them. The strip subsystem is split into a central region with rectangular sensors and two forward end-cap regions with sensors featuring radial...

20. Allpix Squared Simulations of Multi-element Germanium Detectors for Synchrotron Applications

Tasneem SALEEM (SOLEIL Synchrotron)

19/08/2021, 14:20

New Features

One of the major limitations of the X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) experiment at synchrotron facilities is the performance of the detectors. In order to be able to measure more challenging samples and to cope with the very high photon flux and input count rate of the current and future light sources, technological developments to enhance the performance of various
detectors are...

17. Collaborative Coding for Scientific Software

Simon Spannagel (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

19/08/2021, 14:40

Software Developments

When collaborating with other scientists and engineers on a common framework, using the right tools and procedures are key to a successful result and a long-term maintainability of the software.

This contribution aims at providing an insight into the stance taken by the Allpix Squared developers on topics such as unified code formatting and coding conventions as well as the workflow of...
