Description
Pixel detectors have replaced micro strip detectors as vertex trackers in the
innermost part of collider detectors. Hybrid pixel detectors, in which sensor and
read-out ICs are separate entities, constitute the present state of the art in the
pixel technology being able to stand the extreme requirements at the LHC. A number
of trends and further developments, most notably monolithic or semi-monolithic
approaches are in development, targeting other tracking, but also imaging
applications. The present state in pixel detector development as shown at the
PIXEL2005 conference in Bonn, Sept. 2005 will be reviewed.
