The high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) foreseen for 2022 will allow the experiments at the collider to collect data at a luminosity of $5 × 10^{34}$ cm$^{−2}$s$^{−1}$, enhancing the discovery potential for new physics. The precise determination of vertices in the high radiation environment close to the HL-LHC interaction points demands the development of solid state...

The LHC accelerator complex will be upgraded in 2022 to the High-Luminosity-LHC in order to significantly increase statistics for the various physics analyses. These modifications will result in an increase in occupancy and of radiation damage to the ATLAS Inner Detector.
Characterisation and testing in a laboratory environment of novel ATLAS planar pixel designs for the HL-LHC will be...

The ATLAS Forward Physics (AFP) project plans to install 3D silicon pixel detectors 210 m away from the interaction point and very close to the beamline at a radius of about 2-3 mm. This implies the need of slim edges in the order of 100 µm for the sensor side facing the beam to minimise the dead area. Another challenge is an expected non-uniform irradiation of the pixel sensors with high...

We have been investigating Scribe-Cleave-Passivate (SCP) method of making slim edges on silicon sensors. For n-type devices commonly used dielectrics, such as silicon oxide and nitride, work well and they are radiation resistant. For p-type devices we used alumina (Al2O3) for this purpose. Our earlier radiation tests revealed its potential weakness for low ionizing doses. In this work we have...

Results from the second batch of Low-R strip sensors fabricated at CNM-Barcelona will be presented. This second batch implements several technological and design changes in order to correct the PTP structure, not fully functional in the first batch. The tests on the newly fabricated sensors show good general performance plus a correct behaviour of the PTP structure. The results from the laser...

LHCb is a dedicated flavour physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The Vertex Locator (VELO) is an important part of the LHCb tracking system, enabling precision measurements of beauty and charm mesons. It is the highest precision vertex detector at the LHC, featuring a single-hit resolution as good to 4μm.
The VELO comprises 42 silicon micro-strip modules. A module is made...
