    Invited talk

    The talk describes the progress in high-resolution timing, rate capability and aging performance over past 25 years. It concentrates on recent developments in MCP, SiPM, LGAD, 3D trench Si and SiEM detectors and compares them to gas detectors.

    Invited talk

    After more than 10 attempts to fly an X-ray polarimeter, aimed at revitalizing the field, with early efforts based on Bragg diffraction and Thomson scattering and yielding a single positive (and fundamental) result in the mid-1980s, the innovative use of the photoelectric effect in gas detectors led to the development of the Gas Pixel Detector, specifically designed for astronomical...

    Oliver Kortner (Max Planck Society (DE))
    04/09/2026, 09:00
    Invited talk

    In recent years, gaseous ionization detectors have gradually been displaced in the LHC experiments and were mainly considered for muon systems because of their cost advantage for instrumenting large detector areas. However, in the context of future high-intensity and high-energy electron–positron colliders, these technologies are currently experiencing a renaissance. They are being considered...
