LGAD 3
- Gregor Kramberger (Jozef Stefan Institute (SI))
Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) can operate in single particle counting mode directly in proton beams. These detectors are radiation hard, allowing operation under therapeutic beam fluences for extended periods. With timing resolution below 50 ps, LGADs can provide precise timing measurements of individual particles. This study examines the use of LGADs as particle counters for beam...
Low Gain Avalanche Diodes(LGADs) are prime candidates for high resolution timing applications in High Energy Physics, Nuclear science, and other fields. Over the course of their lifetime, these sensors are required to withstand enormous amounts of radiation (> 10$^{15}$ neq/cm$^2$) while maintaining acceptable performances at hadron colliders. Particles interacting with highly biased sensors...
The response of Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs), a type of thin silicon detector with internal gain, to X-rays of energies between 6-16 keV was characterized at the SLAC light source (SSRL). The utilized beamline at SSRL was 7-2, with a nominal beam size of 30 μm, repetition rate of 500 MHz, and with an energy dispersion ∆E/E of 10−4. Multi-channel LGADs, AC-LGADs, and TI-LGADs of different...
Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) are ultra-fast silicon detectors that allow the simultaneous measurement of an ion’s position and time-of-arrival with a precision better than 100µm and 100ps, respectively. This excellent 4D-tracking capability enables the reconstruction of single-particle tracks even in high-luminosity environments, such as those encountered in high-energy physics...
This contribution presents the test beam characterization of the first DC-RSD production at FBK.
DC-RSDs are an evolution of the AC-coupled RSD sensors, commonly called AC-LGAD. The DC-RSD design is characterized by the direct contact of the metal electrode with the n+ resistive layer and by the presence of trenches to avoid uncontrolled signal sharing among pixels.
Sensors with three...
