The Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) is one of the instruments onboard ASTRO-H, which is scheduled for launch in 2015. The HXI is placed 12 m below the hard X-ray focusing mirrors, and performs imaging spectroscopy with the sensitivity for detecting point sources down to a brightness of 1/100,000 times fainter than the Crab nebula at > 10 keV. The semiconductor camera in the HXI is realized as a...

The necessity for detectors with improved spatial resolution drives many silicon detector R&D projects towards small pitch sizes in various areas of research. However, the evolutionary approach of reduced pitch size increases the number of channels and thus needed bandwidth for detector read-out. A new detector concept, a Pascalian later drift detector (pLAD), exemplifying a strategy for high...

The LHC at CERN is now the highest energy and luminosity collider in the world. The collider and detectors have just completed an upgrade to operate at higher energy and luminosity. In addition, there are plans to further upgrade the collider and detectors to operate at even higher energy and luminosity. This requires the optical links to transmit data at much higher speed to handle the much...

We propose a novel method to investigate the properties of silicon and CVD diamond detectors for High Energy Physics experiments. The method is similar to the already well established E-TCT technique using laser beam. In the proposed method the beam of high energy hadrons (MIPs) is used instead of laser beam. MIPs incident on the detector in the direction parallel to the readout electrode...

Electric field in silicon irradiated with neutrons up to 1e17 n_eq/cm^2 was investigated by edge-TCT. Methods for absolute determination of electric field were developed. From the v(E) dependence mobility degradation with fluence was extracted. A simple field structure was observed, consistent with a SCR and "ENB", a region that does not contribute to leakage current and the electric field...

In order to enable the ATLAS experiment to successfully track charged particles produced in high-energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, the current ATLAS Inner Detector will be replaced by the Inner Tracker (ITk), entirely composed of silicon pixel and strip detectors. An extension of the tracking coverage of ITk to very forward pseudorapidity values is proposed, using...
