Description
This forum will focus on the development of a complete end-to-end simulation chain for advanced detector systems — from particle–sensor interaction to final detector readout. The goal is to share ideas, identify challenges, and propose new features that can strengthen virtual prototyping as a design and R&D tool.
The discussion is structured into key domains but remains open to new categories and contributions.
Topics include:
- Sensor design (TCAD/Synopsys): inclusion of n-wells in 3D maps to better model charge collection [1][2].
- Charge deposition & collection (Allpix2): coupling with electrical simulations via the new NetlistWriter module [3]; next step is exporting results to .root files.
- Readout electronics (PixESL):
1 - Support for asynchronous architectures (Octopus, Manta).
2 - libAPX library for efficient Allpix2–PixESL data exchange (.apx format, reading functions in development).
3 - Guide for analog front-end modeling.
The discussion will also highlight open issues and priorities to strengthen virtual prototyping workflows across communities.
