237. Status and Future Prospects of High Time Resolution Photon Counting Sensor Arrays

Edoardo Charbon (TU Delft)

29/09/2015, 09:00

Plenary

Photon counting at a very large scale has recently become available, thanks to the introduction of CMOS single-photon avalanche diodes and analog/digital silicon photomultipliers. With the continuous technological push demanded by Moore’s Law and the introduction of 3D integration, achieving ever increasing fill factors and near-picosecond timing resolutions with integrated time-to-digital...

238. Past and future microelectronics in HEP

Alessandro Marchioro (CERN)

29/09/2015, 14:00

Plenary

Moore’s law celebrates this year its 50th anniversary. The technologies developed following its paradigm have brought profound changes in the way we work and communicate in our everyday life. The massive introduction of microelectronics in the design of experiments and detectors for High Energy Physics at LHC has also changed the way we conceive, design and operate experiments. Despite the...

239. High resolution timing detectors and electronics: an overview

Angelo Rivetti (Universita e INFN Torino (IT))

30/09/2015, 09:00

In the last decade the interest towards radiation detectors combining good time resolution (100 ps rms or below) and high channel density has significantly increased. ASICs implemented in deep submicron CMOS technologies and latest generation FPGAs allow to confine the error introduced by the readout electronics to a few ps. The main challenges are thus expected to come from the sensor and/or...

240. SEU Mitigation Techniques for SRAM based FPGAs

Ken Chapman (Xilinx)

30/09/2015, 14:00

Plenary

Since the Wright brothers first powered flight 112 years ago, aircraft have become incredibly capable machines with an amazing safety record. Unfortunately, there are still incidents and accidents, but don’t worry, the airlines provide you with a life jacket! Since Xilinx introduced their first device 30 years ago, FPGAs are up to 10,000 times larger and tens of millions of them are used...

241. Detector Developments at DESY for Free-Electron Lasers

Heinz Graafsma

01/10/2015, 09:00

Plenary

For Free Electron Lasers the number of scattered photons per bunch is enough to record a full image. At the same time single photon sensitivity is required. An additional challenge at the European FEL stems from its time structures with 10 bunch trains per second each containing 2700 bunches (at 4.5 MHz). To meet these challenges the AGIPD-system has been under development. Full modules have...

242. Upgrade of the ALICE Silicon Tracker Using CMOS Pixel Sensors

Luciano Musa (CERN)

01/10/2015, 14:00

Plenary

ALICE is studying the physics of strongly interacting matter using nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN LHC. The ALICE Collaboration is preparing a major upgrade of the experimental apparatus, planned for installation in the second long LHC shutdown. A key element of the ALICE upgrade is the construction of a new, ultra-light, high-resolution Inner Tracking System (ITS). With respect to the...

243. ESA Microelectronic Developments for space

Richard Jansen (ESA)

02/10/2015, 09:00

Plenary

An overview of the development and deployment of a select key electronic components, like the microprocessor, digital signal processor and microcontroller for space ESA is presented. The development history of these specific components is outlined in view of the functional, performance, environmental requirements as well as commercial constraints.
