    The talk will present recent progress in the design and characterisation of CMOS pixel sensors at LBNL. The talk will report results of lab tests, beam tests and radiation hardness tests carried out at LBNL on a test structure with pixel of various sizes. We will also report the first preliminary results of a detailed characterisation of backthinned CMOS pixel sensors and discuss future...

    The Yale/Oregon effort to develop a CMOS vertex detector sensor with single bunch crossing time stamping will be reviewed. The R&D program is first developing a large pixel (50 um x 50 um) sensor, with a four deep memory for each pixel, and eventually will move to fine pixels (10 um x 10um) by changing to a smaller feature size semiconductor process.

    Recent results are presented on the design and testing of silicon sensors for the ILC vertex detector and of the associated readout electronics. The sensors discussed are the Column Parallel Charge-Coupled Device (CPCCD) and the In-situ Storage Image Sensor (ISIS), both of which have the potential to satisfy the requirements for operation at the ILC. Progress with the development of the...

    In our earlier investigations of radiation damage effects in a CCD based detector we observed that some parameters of the radiation damage related processes were very different from the common perception. For example, trapping time of electrons by trapping centers created by irradiation was few orders of magnitude larger than it was believed it should be. Last year we did additional...

    A procedure of digitization of hits produced in the silicon tracking subdetectors of the LC detector has been developed. The procedure has been employed to evaluate point resolution of the vertex detector. In addition stand-alone pattern recognition algorithm has been developed to search for tracks in the vertex detector. Performance of the algorithm has been evaluated in the presence...

    A vertex detector concept of the Linear Collider Flavor Identification (LCFI) collaboration, which studies pixel detectors for heavy quark flavour identification, has been implemented in simulations for c-quark tagging in scalar top studies. The production and decay of scalar top quarks (stops) is particularly interesting for the development of the vertex detector as only two c-quarks and...

    The present mechanical design of the vertex detector for SiD will be described. The design includes a 12.5 cm long central barrel with silicon pixels. Four disks with silicon pixels and three additional disks, which could be based upon silicon pixels or micro-strips, are located beyond each barrel end. Since sensor technologies are rapidly evolving and final operating requirements are...

    The Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) Collaboration is developing sensors, electronic systems and mechanical support structures necessary for the construction of a high performance vertex detector at the ILC and investigating the contribution such a vertex detector can make to the physics accessible at the ILC. Extremely low mass support structures will be required for the...

    We present final analyis results of cosmic ray data taken with a Large-Area Micromegas TPC by the Berkeley-Orsay-Saclay (BOS) collaboration. The TPC gas chamber for these R&D studies was 50 cm diameter and 50 cm long and was operated with three gas mixtures, Ar:CF4 3%, ArCH4 (P10) and Ar:Isobutane 5% in magnetic fields up to 2 tesla. A large-area, 38 cm diameter, copper Micromegas...

    R&D studies on the performance as well as on the gas properties of the Micromegas based time projection chamber with standard readout were carried out in June 2005 using 4 GeV/c pion beam in a magnetic field from 0 to 1 Tesla at the Proton Synchrotron beam line at KEK, Japan. Analysis on the electron drift velocity, diffusion constant and point resolution of padrow measurement for...

    We conducted a series of beam tests of prototype TPCs at the KEK PS using GEMs or microMEGAS as a detection device. The prototypes were operated successfully under a magnetic field of up to 1 tesla. Experimental results, such as pad response and spatial resolution as functions of drift distance, are presented with a special emphasis upon comparison to the expectations from an analytical...

    The MPGD readout TPC for the ILC will have to measure ~200 track points with a resolution close to 100 microns for all drift distances. It may be difficult to meet the resolution target with conventional MPGD readout techniques if ~2 mm wide pads were used as is presently envisioned. Reducing the pad width to improve resolution could add significantly to the detector cost and complexity....

    The LC TPC R&D work has been underway for four years, whereby the various TPC groups have been learning to use the MPGD techniques by building and measuring with an impressive number of small TPC prototypes (around 30cm diameter) using cosmics and test beams, and using a variety of different gas mixtures. The next stage of this work will focus the groups and work on building a Large...
