The latest advances in the design and characterization of several pixel sensors
developed to satisfy the very demanding requirements of the innermost layer of the
SuperB Silicon Vertex Tracker will be presented in this paper.
The SuperB machine is an electron positron collider operating at the Y4S peak to
be built in the very near future by the Cabibbo Lab consortium.
A pixel detector...

An upgrade of the existing Japanese Flavour Factory (KEKB in Tsukuba, Japan) is under construction, and is foreseen for commissioning by the end of 2014. This new e+e− machine ("SuperKEKB") will deliver an instantaneous luminosity of 8⋅10^35 cm−2s−1, which is 40 times higher than the world record set by KEKB.
In order to be able to fully exploit the increased number of events and provide...

Luminosity monitors, beam monitors and tracking detectors of the
experiments at the Large Hadron Collider and their upgrades must be able to operate in radiation environments several orders of magnitude harsher than those of any current detector. We have observed in ATLAS that as the environment becomes harsher, detectors not segmented, either spatially or in time, have difficulty handling...

The LHCb VELO (silicon Vertex Locator) will be upgraded in 2018, as part of the general upgrade of the LHCb experiment, which will transform the entire detector readout to a triggerless system operating at 40 MHz. The current L0 hardware trigger will be removed, and all data reduction algorithms will be executed in a high level software farm, with access to all event information. This will...

The PHENIX detector at RHIC has been equipped Silicon Pixel Detector for identifying the bottom and charm particle by measuring secondary vertex point in the Sqrt(S_NN) = 200GeV Au-Au collisions and Sqrt(s)=500GeV polarized collisions, with Silicon stripixel detectors. The detector consists of 50*400 micron pixel sensors, bump bonded readout chips, high density readout flexible print circuit...

The Inner Tracking System (ITS) is the ALICE key detector for the study of heavy flavour production at LHC. This is attained by the identification of short-lived hadrons containing heavy quarks which have a mean proper decay length in the order of 100-300 um. To accomplish this task the ITS is composed of six cylindrical layers of silicon detectors (two pixel, two drift and two strip) with a...

Currently there are many interesting developments going on in the area of pixel detectors for synchrotrons and XFELs. Many developments done for XFELs also open new measurement capabilities at synchrotrons and overcome limitations of single photon counting detectors. In the presentation I will give an overview of the current developments with a focus on hybrid detector systems.

A novel photon counting method for non-paralyzable counting and its implementation in the new PILATUS3 ASIC are presented. Pulse pile-up significantly affects the observed count rate at high photon fluxes in single-photon counting x-ray detectors and can lead to complete paralyzation of the counting circuit. In PILATUS single-photon counting hybrid-pixel x-ray detectors, count rate correction...
