Description
This talk highlights recent breakthroughs in precision radiation detector technology developed at the Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max Planck Society. Pioneering advancements have enabled the production of ultra-high-quality, wafer-sized silicon detectors that meet the rigorous demands of various scientific fields, with a primary focus on creating unique, customized sensors unavailable on the commercial market.
Key developments include the latest advancements in silicon drift detectors (SDDs), pnCCDs, and DEPFET sensors, along with the innovative low-gain avalanche device, MARTHA, which offers enhanced performance in demanding applications. These technologies serve as the foundation for specialized detector systems designed for high-energy particle physics (e.g., BELLE II), astrophysics (e.g., ATHENA), material science (EDET and FSP TNG), and synchrotron beamline applications (LCLS, XFEL).
The presentation will provide an in-depth look at these recent innovations and discuss future directions that promise to further expand the capabilities of radiation detection technology across scientific disciplines.
