    AC-coupled Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (AC-LGAD) detectors have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation particle tracking systems owing to their excellent timing resolution of approximately 50 ps and spatial resolution of about 10 ฮผm. For large-scale tracking detectors at future collider experiments, centimeter-scale strip AC-LGAD sensors are particularly important for reducing the...

    In this contribution, we report the results obtained by combining data from three test beams performed at DESY. DC-RSD matrices with three different pixel sizes (300, 500, and 1000 $\mu$m) were tested on the 5 GeV/c beam line. The spatial resolution shows a linear dependence on the pixel size, remaining consistently better than 5% of the pixel pitch, whereas the temporal resolution exhibits no...

    Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) have emerged as key sensors for High Energy Physics and related applications due to their excellent time resolution and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. However, their use in low-energy ion spectrometry has generally been limited by gain suppression effects, arising from the high ionization densities produced by such ions within the multiplication layer,...

    Over the last decade, Low-Gain Avalanche Diode sensors (LGADs) and Resistive Silicon Detectors (RSDs) have significantly advanced silicon detector capabilities. LGAD sensors provide much improved time resolution thanks to the fast and large signals with optimised signal-to-noise ratio, achieving resolutions of 30 ps or lower with 50 um-thick sensors. The addition of a resistive readout to...

    3D sensors have demonstrated outstanding performance, including radiation resistance, fast response, detection efficiency, power consumption, etc., especially after high radiation fluences. This is mainly due to the shorter drift distance of carriers. These characteristics make them the most attractive sensor technology for charged particle detection and trajectory reconstruction in...
