The MONOLITH H2020 ERC Advanced project aims at producing a monolithic silicon pixel ASIC with 50µm pixel pitch and picosecond-level time stamping. The two main ingredients of the project are fast and low-noise SiGe BiCMOS electronics and a novel sensor concept, the Picosecond Avalanche Detector (PicoAD). The PicoAD uses a patented multi-PN junction to engineer the electric field and produce a...
The Super-KEKB collider will undergo a major upgrade to reach the target luminosity of 6 10^35 cm-2 s-1. A long shutdown is foreseen around year 2027, which provides the opportunity to revisit significant parts of the Belle II experiment and adapt them to the expected change of the experimental conditions. In particular, a new pixelated vertex detector (VTX) is being designed to fit the...
The ALICE experiment of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has planned an upgrade of the Inner Tracking System (ITS), called ITS3, for the LHC Long Shutdown 3, in 2025. The cornerstone of the upgrade is a new CMOS-65 nm pixel chip, built using Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) technology using the stitching technology to extend the chip length to 26 cm and bent around the beam pipe,...
In order to fully exploit the High-Luminosity LHC potential in flavour physics, the LHCb collaboration proposes a Phase-II Upgrade of the detector, to be installed during the LHC Long Shutdown 4 (2032-2034). Operating in the HL-LHC environment poses significant challenges to the design of the upgraded detector, and in particular to its tracking system. The primary and secondary vertices...
