Looking forward to future High Luminosity LHC experiments, efforts to develop new tracking detectors are increasing. A common approach to improve track reconstruction efficiency in high pile-up conditions is to add time measurement per pixel with resolution smaller than 50 ps. Different sensor technologies are under development in order to achieve those performances, like low gain avalanche...
