Advances in Pixel Detectors
Invited Oral
In radiation imaging applications the pixel detectors are so far mostly operated in single particle counting mode. In this mode the signal generated by the particle is compared with a certain preselected energy threshold to remove noise and, if higher, it is counted in a digital counter. Such approach provides low noise, energy discrimination and absolutely linear image accumulation. Resulting...

Advances in Pixel Detectors
Invited Oral
In 2008 at Cornell, we developed a new class of optical sensor made in standard CMOS: the angle sensitive pixel (ASP). ASPs have allowed us to develop several optical innovations including the Planar Fourier Capture Array (PFCA) in 2011: the first camera without lenses, mirrors or moving parts. PFCAs capture the Fourier transform of the far-away scene directly without external optics. The...

Advances in Pixel Detectors
Oral Presentation
PImMS, or Pixel Imaging Mass Spectrometry, is a novel high-speed CMOS imaging sensor tailored to mass spectrometry requirements, also suitable for other dark-field applications. In its application to mass spectrometry, the sensor permits Time of Flight information to be combined with 2D imaging, gaining additional information about the initial position or velocity of ions under study. PImMS1,...

Detectors for High Radiation and Extreme Environments
Oral Presentation
A new pixel module concept for future ATLAS pixel detector upgrades is presented, where thin n-in-p sensors are connected to the front-end chip exploiting the novel Solid Liquid Interdiffusion technique (SLID) and the signals are read out via Inter Chip Vias (ICV) etched through the front-end. This should serve as a proof of principle for future four-side buttable pixel assemblies for the...

Advances in Pixel Detectors
Oral Presentation
Up to now, the superposition of electron waves has been demonstrated in a variety of arrangements, among which the electron biprism has been the most successful. Nevertheless, the most striking part of the experiment, i.e. the build-up of two-beam interference pattern by the single electrons arriving on the final screen, has been observed only by means of limited statistic samples and never...

Advances in Pixel Detectors
Oral Presentation
In this work the results on imaging and spectroscopic performances of 1 mm thick 110x110 and 55x55 um pixellated CdTe detectors bump-bonded to a Timepix single photon counting chip are presented. The performance of the 110x110 um pixel detector was evaluated at the extreme conditions beam-line I15 of the Diamond Light Source. The energy of X-rays was set between 25 and 77 keV. The beam was...

Applications in Particle Physics
Oral Presentation
The upgrade for the ATLAS detector will undergo different phases towards HL-LHC. The first upgrade for the Pixel Detector will consist in the construction of a new pixel layer which will be installed during the first shutdown of the LHC machine (foreseen for 2013-14). The new detector, called Insertable B-Layer (IBL), will be inserted between the existing pixel detector and a new (smaller...
