Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) are pixelated semiconductor detectors consisting of Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs). These single-photon sensitive detectors are often analog devices that require separate digitization. Combining SiPMs with digital readout known from modern pixel sensors offers new possibilities like full hitmap readout, pixel masking or fast timestamping.

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are solid-state light detectors capable of detecting single photons with high quantum efficiency in the ultraviolet to visible energy range with excellent time resolution. Due to their unique characteristics, these devices are increasingly used in high-energy physics, medical and commercial applications. Most SiPMs are implemented as large arrays of...
Thanks to the properties of the LHCb-RICH optical system, the time of arrival of the Cherenkov photons emitted by the charged particles passing through the detector can be predicted very precisely. This timing information can be
used to significantly improve both the PID performance and the signal to noise ratio for
the detector and will ultimately allow the system to withstand...
The expected increase of the particle flux at the high luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) with instantaneous luminosities up to L ≃ 7.5×1034 cm−2 s-1 will have a severe impact on the ATLAS detector performance. The pile-up is expected to increase on average to 200 interactions per bunch crossing. The reconstruction and trigger performance for electrons, photons as well as jets and transverse...
The MIP Timing Detector (MTD) will be installed as a part of the CMS Phase-2 Upgrade to sustain track reconstruction and particle identification by incorporating Time-of-Flight information in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era. The Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) of the MTD makes use of Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) sensors read out with frontend ASICs referred to as the Endcap Timing Read-Out...
