Session 4: Technologies and Applications (1)
- Sally Seidel (University of New Mexico (US))
A silicon 3D detector with a single cell of 50x50 um2 was produced and evaluated for timing applications. The measurements of time resolution were performed for 90Sr electrons with dedicated electronics used also for determining time resolution of Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs). The measurements were compared to those with LGADs and also simulations. The studies showed that the dominant...
Detectors based on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond have been used
extensively and successfully in beam conditions/beam loss monitors as the
innermost detectors in the highest radiation areas of Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) experiments. Over the last two years the RD42 collaboration has
constructed a series of 3D pixel detectors using CVD diamond as the active
material with laser...
The vertex detectors of the future hadronic colliders will operate under proton fluencies above 10E16 p/cmsq. Crystalline Silicon detector technology, up to now, has kept the pace of the increasing fluencies in the LHC era and it is still the prevalent vertex detector technology for the present and for the immediate future. Looking ahead in time an alternative solution for such a detector has...
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor material with highly suitable properties for high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature applications. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor with a wide, indirect band gap. Among all the wide band gap semiconductors, silicon carbide is presently the most intensively studied one and the one with the highest potential to reach market maturity in a...
Compact silicon and silicon-carbide detectors were developed to qualify and monitor the intense thermal neutron field produced at the e_LIBANS facility in Torino, where typical fluence rates are of the order of 2 x 106 cm-2s-1 . The devices are sensitized to neutrons by means of a 6LiF deposit process optimized to maximize the neutron capture probability and the subsequent detection of the...
