Oral

In the frame of the LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) program, IRAP, CNES and Dolphin Integration have collaborated to develop a high performance ASIC (SIRIUS2) for interfacing Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) with the digital back-end LOFT was candidate X-ray mission for the M3 slot of the Cosmic Vision program of the European Space Agency. It will be proposed again for the M4 mission....

Oral

Important space scientific missions such as ESA CLUSTER (2000), NASA THEMIS (2007), NASA MMS (2014), ESA/JAXA BepiColombo (2016) and ESA JUICE (2024) have and will incorporate an ultra-sensitive three-axis Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) to measure the magnetic field vector. Over the years, the instrument, which is designed by the LPP/CNRS, has become a reliable and essential device due to the...

21. Radiation hardness tests of the CLARO-CMOS chip: a fast and low power front-end ASIC for single-photon counting in AMS 0.35 micron CMOS technology

Oral

The CLARO-CMOS is a prototype ASIC primarily designed for single-photon counting with multi-anode photomultipliers (Ma-PMTs). The chip features 5 ns peaking time, a recovery time to baseline smaller than 25 ns, and a power consumption in the order of 1 mW per channel. It was developed in the framework of the LHCb RICH detectors upgrade at CERN, but also found application in the readout of...
