The Mu3e experiment is searching for the charged lepton flavour violating decay $ \mu^+\rightarrow e^+ e^- e^+ $, aiming for an ultimate sensitivity of one in $10^{16}$ decays. In an environment of up to $10^9$ muon decays per second the detector needs to provide precise vertex, time and momentum information to suppress background. The detector consists of cylindrical layers of $ 50...
Future experiments in particle physics foresee few-micrometer single-point position resolution in their vertex detectors, motivated by e.g. b- and light-quark-tagging capabilities. Silicon is today's material of choice for high-precision detectors and offers a high grade of engineering possibilities. Instead of scaling down pitch sizes, which comes at a high price for an increased number of...
MÖNCH is a hybrid silicon pixel detector based on charge integration and with analog readout, featuring a pixel size of 25x25 μm2. The latest working prototype (MÖNCH 03) consists of an array of 400×400 identical pixels for a total active area of 1×1 cm2. Its design is optimized for the single photon regime. The chip has an ENC in the order of 35 electrons RMS and a dynamic range of ~4×12 keV...
ABSTRACT
Here we present a Read-Out Integrated Circuit (ROIC) with metalized topside contacts that is bonded to an array of high aspect ratio insulated microwires to form a platform for in vivo, intracortical recording (fig 1)of unprecedented scale.
The ROIC (fig 2) has 256x256 pixels (fig 3) consisting of an AC-coupled sense-amplifier, followed by an anti-aliasing band filter. In designing a...
