Caribou is a versatile data acquisition system used in multiple collaborative frameworks (CERN EP R&D, DRD3, AIDAinnova) for both bench-top and test-beam qualification of novel silicon pixel detector prototypes. The system is built around a common hardware, firmware and software base shared accross different projects, thereby drastically reducing the development effort and cost. The current...
The Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) process provides an excellent method for the characterization of solid-state sensors due to its intrinsic 3D resolution for the excitation of electron-hole pairs when compared to the single-photon process. A Light Conversion ORPHEUS optical parametric amplifier with tuneable output wavelength across 310-16000 nm is used as the excitation source for order of 150...
We will report on the activities conducted at the femto laser facility at the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao. The study focuses on the effects of various laser systematic issues, such as spherical aberration and spatial mode instabilities, and the implementation of several mitigation measures to address these challenges.
AIDA telescopes are systematically employed for sensor characterization, particularly in high-energy particle physics. With their exceptionally high spatial resolution, on the order of a few microns, they serve as suitable instruments for characterizing pixelated sensors in high-energy experiments, involving the extraction of detection efficiencies, spatial resolution, and more. However, these...
We will discuss test facilities in Japan which can be used for DRD3 developments.
At KEK an electron test beam facility with beam momentum upto 5 GeV has been established available since 2022. This facility will be available for the down time of major test beam facilities in Europe. Usually the beam is available for sensor testing for three periods (May-June, Oct-Dec and Feb-Mar) in each...
This contribution presents Track Lab, a multi-platform DAQ software for solid-state pixel detectors designed with versatility and high-performance applications in mind. Originally designed to service the Timepix3 ASIC [1] and the Katherine readout [2], Track Lab has outgrown
its intended application and gained compatibility with a diverse range of research instruments. One of its pivotal...
