Day 2 - Session 2: Avalanche Based Sensors
- Marcela Mikestikova (Czech Academy of Sciences (CZ))
In this contribution, I will describe the evolution of silicon sensors following the introduction of controlled avalanche.
We investigated the signal propagation in AC-LGAD (aka RSD), which are LGAD with a common N+ layer and AC-coupled readout contacts, by measuring the interstrip/interpad capacitances and resistances and by IR laser injection on a large selection of AC-LGAD with either strips or pads. The interest for this topic derives from the realization that while large charge sharing between strips/pads is...
The Low Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) is becoming increasingly a promising and important technology for soft X-ray imaging at the next generation light sources as well as for particle tracking applications in the demanding future high energy physics experiments. Different versions of LGAD have been under investigation to address specific needs for different applications. Particularly, in...
Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) represent the state-of-the-art in timing measurements and will instrument the future Timing Detectors of ATLAS and CMS for the High-Luminosity LHC. While initially conceived as a sensor for charged particles, the intrinsic gain of LGADs makes it possible to detect low-energy X-rays with good energy resolution and excellent timing (tens of picoseconds). Using...
