8. Combining TCAD and Monte Carlo Methods to Simulate High-Resistivity CMOS Pixel Detectors

Simon Spannagel (CERN)

11/27/18, 9:50 AM

Combining electrostatic field simulations with Monte Carlo methods enables realistic modeling of the detector response for novel monolithic silicon detectors with strongly non-linear electric fields. Both the precise field description and the inclusion of Landau fluctuations and production of secondary particles in the sensor are crucial ingredients for the understanding and reproduction of...

6. New materials and high-Z absorbers for x-ray detection

Sebastien Murphy (ETH Zurich (CH))

11/27/18, 2:00 PM

The flexibility of Allpix-squared allows for the inclusion of new absorber materials and detector geometries with relative ease. We will discuss an ongoing effort to include sensors with high-Z materials commonly used in medical and industrial digital x-ray radiography.
We have implemented charge carrier mobility parameterizations for materials and compounds such as Ge, SiGe, and GaAs. The...

7. Allpix Squared Simulations of ATLAS ITk Strip Detectors

Mercedes Minano Moya (Instituto de Física Corpuscular (CSIC-UV))

11/27/18, 2:25 PM

Starting in 2022, the LHC will be upgraded to the High Luminosity-LHC, which will have a luminosity almost five times larger than the current luminosity. In order to cope with the higher radiation level and with the higher pile-up, the ATLAS experiment needs a complete replacement of the current tracking system with an all silicon detector, the Inner Tracker (ITk).
The ITk Strip Detector will...

11. The MALTA telescope: simulation and comparison with data

Patrick Moriishi Freeman (University of Birmingham (GB))

11/27/18, 2:50 PM

MALTA is a monolithic active pixel sensor intended for implementation in the outer layers of the ATLAS pixel detector during the Phase-II upgrade. Monolithic active pixels produced in commercial CMOS technology have a number of advantages over hybrids sensors currently being used, including: improved granularity, lower material budget, lower power dissipation, and lower financial cost. The...
