The astroparticle physics experiments operating in space for the measurement of charged cosmic rays include a tracker and a calorimeter to identify the incoming primary charged cosmic rays. These experiments face challenges in separating primary particles from the back-scattered particles entering the tracker from the calorimeter. The timing measurement of each hit can be used to distinguish...
Inverse Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (iLGAD) can improve the signal-to-
noise ratio for X-ray detection in photon science applications. PSI collaborates
with FBK for the development of iLGAD sensors with a thin entrance window
(TEW) targeting soft X-rays. For this development a first batch of wafers,
consisting of diodes and pixelated sensors, was fabricated and is currently under
test.

Small-pitch 3D pixel sensors have been developed to equip the innermost layers of the ATLAS and CMS tracker upgrades at HL-LHC. They feature 50$\times$50 and 25$\times$100 $\mu m^2$ geometries, and are fabricated on p-type Si-Si Direct Wafer Bonded substrates of 150 $\mu m$ active thickness with a single-sided process. Due to the short inter-electrode distance, charge trapping effects are...
One of the requirements for the next generation of tracking sensors is a good time resolution, down to tens of picosecond.
For hybrid pixel sensors, one of the limiting factor for the temporal resolution comes from the readout electronics.
Simulations of typical charge sensitive amplifier electronic front end has been performed and the results shows that the timing jitter
is dominated by...
Monolithic sensors are regarded nowadays as valid alternatives to hybrid detectors in the design of next generation high-performance silicon vertex, tracking and timing detectors for high-energy physics (HEP) experiments and other fields of research like medical imaging and space applications.
In this context, Fully Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (FD-MAPS) are a state-of-the-art...
