Oral

The silicon sensors known as Low Gain Avalanche Diodes, or LGADs, are widely considered for fast-timing applications, especially in high energy and nuclear physics, thanks to an intrinsic gain that allows the production of a controlled avalanche of carriers, with multiplication on the order of 2-100. This technology can provide time resolution of about 20-30 ps, and some of its variants can...
