Silicon pixel detectors are at the core of the current and planned upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Given their close proximity to the interaction point, these detectors will be subject to an unprecedented amount of radiation over their lifetime. At the LHC, the innermost layers will receive damage from non-ionizing radiation in excess of a fluence of 1015 1 MeV neq/cm2, and at the...
The ATLAS silicon tracker detectors are designed to sustain high dose integrated over several years of operation. This very substantial radiation hardness should also favour the survival of the detector in case of accidental beam losses.
An experiment performed in 2006 showed that ATLAS Pixel detector modules (silicon planar hybridly coupled with FE-I3 electronics) could survive to beam...
BEAST is an experimental effort to measure the parasitic particle rate induced by the nano-size beam exploited by the high-luminosity SuperKEKB e+e- collider.
During its first data taking period, phase 2 in 2018, the inner volume of the Belle II detector was only partially equipped with the final vertex detector technologies. The remaining volume was covered with various other systems as...
The phase-2 upgrade of the LHC will substantially increase the instantaneous luminosity. This requires novel pixel readout chips with highly complex digital architectures, which deliver hit information at drastically increased data rates and unprecedented radiation tolerance, especially close to the interaction point. The RD53 collaboration was formed to approach these challenges by designing...
