Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) represent a remarkable advance in high energy particle detection, since they provide a moderate multiplication (gain ~ 20) on the collected charge, thus leading to a notable improvement of the signal to noise ratio, which largely extends the possibilities of application of silicon detectors beyond their present working field.
LGAD detectors are based on...

A double-sided variant of low gain amplification detector is introduced, suitable for pixel arrays without dead-area in between the different read-out elements. Design options and selected results from TCAD simulations are discussed, along with the proposed fabrication process.

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...

In this contribution I will review how Low Gain Avalanche Detectors can be designed and optimized for timing measurements.
Specifically I will show how the interplay of gain, signal amplitude, signal rise and collection time, detector capacitance, and read-out electronics determines the UFSDs design and their performances.
First results on timing performances of LGAD prototypes...
