DC-RSD: up to now, resistive read-out in silicon detectors has been used only in AC-coupled detectors, the so-called AC-RSD or AC-LGAD. I will present here the first attempt to apply resistive read-out to a DC-coupled sensor.

The High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) project of ATLAS will reduce the pile-up effect in HL-LHC by providing precise time measurement of tracks. The Low- Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) with time resolution better than 35(70) ps before(after) irradiation is the key technology which has been studied by many institutes. The Institute of High Energy Physics Chinese Academy of Science (IHEP)...

To suppress the pile-up expected at High-Luminosity LHC, timing information can be assigned to particle tracks. In order to implement this technique, track timing resolution of the order of tens of picoseconds is required over the lifetime of the detector. Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) were selected as the basis for the timing detectors at the HL-LHC, offering suitable timing...

Motivated by the need for fast timing detectors to withstand up to 2 MGy of ionizing dose at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, prototype low gain avalanche detectors (LGADs) have been fabricated in single pad configuration, 2x2 arrays, and related PIN diodes, and exposed to Co-60 sources for study. Devices were fabricated with a range of dopant layer concentrations and, for the...

Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are a promising technology for high energy physics experiments, since they can potentially offer spatial resolution down to sub $100$ $\mu m$ and temporal resolution below $100$ $ps$ simultaneously. Thanks to these properties, these devices are considered for the upgrades of the ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb experiment at CERN.
This work will focus on timing...

The fast rising signal of LGADs with high signal-to-noise ratio is key to achieve an excellent charge collection and time resolution for Minimum Ionizing Particles (MIPs). The LGAD technology will be used for the HL-LHC in the upgrade of both ATLAS and CMS timing detectors.

We present a characterization of the novel Trench-Isolated LGAD (TI-LGAD) technology using a scanning TCT setup. The studied devices belong to the first production of pixelated TI-LGADs at FBK done in the framework of the RD50 collaboration. The TI-LGAD is a variation of the Low-Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) in which the segmentation of the detector in pixels is done by etching physical...

The Flavor physics program is one of the important topics for future lepton collider projects. In order to explore the full potential of the flavor physics program, a time-of-flight detector is needed to perform particle identification at an energy range from 1GeV to 5GeV.

AC-coupled LGADs, also referred to as resistive silicon detectors (RSDs), rely on a design in which the multiplication layer and n$^{+}$ contact are continuous, and only the metal layer is patterned. In AC-LGADs, the signal is capacitively coupled from the continuous, resistive n$^{+}$ layer over a dielectric to the metal electrodes. The spatial resolution is not only influenced by the...

In this contribution we present RSD2, the second production of Resistive AC-Coupled Silicon Detectors (RSD), a new frontier in 4D particle tracking through Silicon detectors with internal gain and 100% fill-factor. RSD are n-in-p LGAD-based detectors characterized by three key-elements: (i) a continuous multiplication implant, without any segmentation, (ii) a resistive n-cathode and...

In this contribution, we present a new development of radiation-resistant silicon sensors. This innovative sensor design exploits the recently observed saturation of radiation damage effects on silicon, together with the usage of thin substrates, intrinsically less affected by radiation. The internal multiplication of the charge carriers will be used to overcome the small signals coming from...

We present measurements of AC-LGADs performed at Fermilab’s test beam facility using 120 GeV protons. We studied the performance of various strip and pixel sensors that were produced by BNL and HPK. The measurements are performed with our upgraded test beam setup that utilizes a high precision telescope tracker, and a simultaneous readout of up 6 channels per sensor, which allows detailed...

We analyzed beam test data from a beam test at FNAL with 120 GeV protons to show the effect of signal sharing in AC-LGAD fabricated by BNL and FBK. The main thrust is the understanding of the signals underneath the metal pads/strips which can’t be investigated with laser light which is usually used.

Achieving granularity below the 1 mm scale (100 um or less) while maintaining high efficiency, precise timing, and good spatial resolution is a goal of continued R&D on silicon diode Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs). One approach, proposed by the SCIPP ultrafast sensor R&D group, is to make use of the diode junction to create avalanche-generating fields within the sensor, and then to bury...
