Session 7: LGAD (1)
- Nicolo Cartiglia (Universita e INFN Torino (IT))
The expected increase of the particle flux at the high luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) with instantaneous luminosities up to L ? 7.5 × 1034 cm-2 s-1 will have a severe impact on the ATLAS detector performance. The pile-up is expected to increase on average to 200 interactions per bunch crossing. The reconstruction and trigger performance for electrons, photons as well as jets and...
Several efforts have been done in the last years at FBK to develop a new generation of Low Gain Silicon Detectors for tracking and timing applications in HEP experiments. The last UFSD3 production has been devoted to studying specific methods to improve the radiation hardness, as requested by the future Endcap Timing Layer of CMS at the High Luminosity LHC. Moreover, new microfabrication...
In this contribution, we will present the latest results from laboratory measurements on 50 µm thick LGAD fabricated by FBK and HPK. We will concentrate on the overall quality of the production, on the gain uniformity, and in a detailed study of the gain termination implant and its effect on the breakdown point.
Purpose
Due to their extra advantages, solid state silicon detectors were initially used in nuclear and particle physics experiments and rapidly gained widespread applications in many different fields (space, medical, etc.). High detection precision, radiation resistance and very good time resolution are their main advantages that overcome many limitations of alternative gas detecting...
