Monolithic silicon pixel detectors are attractive candidates for future large-area trackers in particle physics due to their advantages, for instance to reduce the production effort and material budget. State of the art monolithic silicon pixel detectors can reach high spatial precision. Integrating picosecond time resolution in such devices would significantly improve their performance and...
A single arm beam telescope based on the Timepix4 ASIC was built in order to
perform first tests of synchronous readout and track reconstruction.
The telescope is composed of four planes with n-on-p silicon sensors.
Two of these planes are instrumented with 300 $\mu m$ thick sensors tilted with respect to the beam, to provide high quality spatial measurements, while the remaining two...
The design of a monolithic silicon pixel detector for the preshower of the FASER experiment at LHC is in progress, with the purpose of measuring and discriminating electromagnetic showers generated by photons with O(TeV) energies and separation down to 200 µm.
The new detector requires the development of a monolithic silicon pixel sensor with hexagonal pixels of 65 µm side, an extended...
Recent advantages in crystal growth have facilitated the production of high resistivity (HR) chromium compensated gallium arsenide (GaAs:Cr), which has become an alternative to silicon especially in X- and gammas-ray detection and imaging, where such sensors profit from their higher absorption efficiency. To explore charge transport properties of the material we measured the dependence of the...
