In order to achieve a pixel diode inherent signal amplification, low-gain avalanche diodes (LGADs) have come into focus of pixel detector developments. However, in contrast to conventional diode arrays, the detector response in the pixel gap areas is still problematic for LGADs.
MARTHA, an acronym for Monolithic Array of Reach Through Avalanche photo diodes, is a novel concept for...
The development of advanced scintillating materials for electromagnetic calorimeters is a key challenge for future High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments, particularly in environments with high collision rates, such as the High-Luminosity LHC and next-generation particle colliders. These experiments require scintillators capable of both fast scintillation performance and precise time resolution...
An innovative single-photon detector based on a vacuum tube with a photocathode, a microchannel plate, and a Timepix4 CMOS ASIC as its read-out anode is presented. This detector is designed to detect up to 1 billion photons per second over a $7\,cm^2$ active area, achieving simultaneously exceptional position and timing resolutions of $5-10\,\mu m$ and less than $50\,ps$, respectively....
The PICosecond subMICron (PICMIC) is a new detection concept that intends to simultaneously exploit the remarkable intrinsic spatial and time precision of the MicroChannel Plate (MCP) detectors. The concept is itself made of two new ones. The first is similar in principle to the GPS system and allows, with a limited number of electronic channels, a precise measurement of the arrival time of...
