Description
This presentation reports on the development of *Weightfield*, a simulation program with the aim to evaluate the performance of silicon detectors. The program is controlled by a
graphical interface that allows the user to select the type of silicon
detector (n-in-n, n-in-p, microstrip, pads), the running conditions
(depletion voltage, applied voltage, temperature, magnetic field), the
type of incident particle (alpha, ideal MIP, real MIP) and the electronics used
to measure the signal.
*Weightfield* can also be configured to study the
performance of Low Gain Avalanche Detector, as it has a user-configurable
gain mechanism. The program predictions have been also validated by laboratory measurements.
