The expected increase of the particle flux at the high luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) with instantaneous luminosities up to L ≃ 7.5 × 10^{34} cm^{−2} s^{-1} will have a severe impact on the ATLAS detector performance. The pile-up is expected to increase on average to 200 interactions per bunch crossing. The reconstruction and trigger performance for electrons, photons as well as jets and...
DAMPE (DArk Matter Particle Explorer) is a satellite-borne cosmic-ray and gamma-ray detector, designed to probe high-energy astro particle physics in GeV-100 TeV range. It was launched on December 17, 2015 and started its on-orbit operation on December 24, 2015. The main objectives of DAMPE are the identification of possible indirect signatures of particle Dark Matter annihilation or decay, a...
We have developed a CdTe double-sided strip detector (CdTe-DSD) with a fine strip pitch of 60 $\mu$m for the FOXSI-3 sounding rocket experiment. The experiment aims to observe the Sun using direct-focusing optics in the hard X-ray range to achieve superior sensitivity and imaging dynamic range over that of previous, indirect imagers. The CdTe-DSD is the focal plane detector for the hard X-ray...
For a long time, Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe/ CZT) have been considered to be suitable materials for various high energy photon detection applications. Unlike elementary semiconductors such as silicon (Si) or Germanium (Ge), the control over the material quality (of CdTe and CZT), is substantially more complicated and is determined during the crystal growth,...
Far-infrared (FIR) wavelength (30-200 $\mu$m) is an important tool to study the formation of planets, stars and galaxies. Gallium doped germanium (Ge:Ga) extrinsic photo-conductors (PCs) and cryo-PMOS readout integrated circuits (ROICs) were used in the previous space infrared astronomical observatories such as AKARI and Spizer.
Development of FIR large format image sensor is,...
