Silicon tracking detectors for forward physics experiments at the LHC will be located 210m away from the proton-proton interaction point, but only a few millimeters from the proton beam. The proximity to the beam is essential for the physics programs of these experiments (for example, AFP) as it directly increases the sensitivity of the experiment. Thus, there are two critical requirements for...

In the past few years, considering the shortage of $^3He$, many interesting developments in solid-state thermal neutron detectors have been made (see e.g. [1] and references therein). These devices normally consist in PN junctions with high aspect-ratio cavities filled with neutron converter materials. The size of the cavities and the gap in between them are designed as a trade-off between...

The square 3D-Trench electrode Si detector structure is simulated using a 3D Silvaco TCAD tool. Electrical characteristics including electrostatic potential, electric field, leakage current, and capacitance have been simulated in detail. It has been found in simulations that both leakage current and the voltage to reach the geometry capacitance (full depletion voltage, Vfd) increase with...

3D-trench electrode detector with square geometry was simulated in this paper. Charge collection of 3D-trench electrode detector was simulated using the full 3D device simulation. The induced current and collected charge caused by drifting carriers, generated by a minimum ionizing particle (MIP) incident through the detector, have been modeled and calculated. The results indicate that the...

In
approximately 2024,the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be upgraded to the High Luminosity LHC (HL-‐LHC). The upgrade is foreseen to increase the LHC design integrated luminosity by a factor ten. This planned increase in luminosity results in significantly
higher levels of radiation inside the planned ATLAS Upgrade detector. This means existing detector technologies together with new...
