Pixel sensors for tracking

ORAL

3D silicon pixel sensors [1] have low drift times due to their electrode geometry. It is assumed that within the given time resolution, the time-of-arrival (ToA) for every pixel of a track created by a particle would be identical, then, the track z-coordinate can be obtained only from the particle impact and end points.

Partial 3D silicon sensors (electrode depth: 230 µm, thickness: 300...
