The demand for new detector materials continues to develop, across a wide range
of applications including X-ray and synchrotron imaging, neutron detection, and
radiation hard tracking detectors. In this paper the current status of new
materials for semiconductor detectors will be reviewed, with a particular emphasis
on the requirements for imaging and pixellated devices. In the field...

The LHCb experiment at CERN depends critically on silicon sensors
to provide vertex, tracking and trigger information. The environment
the sensors will be operated in is unique amongst the next
generation of LHC experiments; the sensors will be run in high
vacuum conditions and will receive a high radiation dose. The design
of the sensors for LHCb is described, together with the...

We report on the processing and characterization of micro-strip
sensors produced on n- and p-type Czochralski silicon. The aim of
this work is the development of radiation hard detectors for very
high luminosity colliders. The activity is funded by INFN within
the SMART project in the framework of the RD50 Collaboration.
The devices have been produced by ITC-IRST on 4” wafers,...

The single crystal TlBr is a promising candidate as a gamma-ray
detector due to its high stopping power, density (7.56 g/cm3) and
bandgap (2.68 eV). These properties allow to perform a compact
device working at room temperature. However, the transport
properties of TlBr were still plagued by material problems [1].
These problems are manly arisen from purity and quality of the...

Recently, increased attention has been given to 3D detectors owing
to their capability to control the depletion mechanism by acting on
the layout of the vertical electrodes only. Depletion voltages two
orders of magnitude lower and collection times one order of
magnitude lower than those of standard planar detectors [ ] can be
obtained, by properly designing the electrodes width and...
