Talk

The design of future high-energy and high-intensity hadronic machines, such as FCC-hh, relies on the ability of detectors to sustain harsh radiation environments while keeping excellent performances on tracking and tagging all the interaction products. In order to face the challenge, a vast R&D effort is required.

In this contribution, we propose a novel concept of tracking system, that...

42. LGAD and 3D as timing detectors

Talk

In view of the High Luminosity upgrade of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), radiation tolerant silicon sensors are being developed in the framework of ATLAS, CMS, RD50 and other sensor R&D projects. The HL-LHC beam parameters and hardware configuration should enable the collider to reach a peak instantaneous luminosity of $5\times10^{34}\text{ cm}^{-2}\text{s}^{-1}$, and an integrated...

2. A High-Granularity Timing Detector for the Phase-II upgrade of the ATLAS Calorimeter system: detector concept, design, and readout

Talk

The large increase of pile-up interactions is one of the main experimental challenges for the HL-LHC physics program. A powerful new way to mitigate the effects of pile-up is to use high-precision timing information to distinguish between collisions occurring close in space but well-separated in time. A High-Granularity Timing Detector, based on low-gain avalanche detector technology, is...

30. Design of the CMS MTD Endcap Timing Layer

Enrico Robutti (INFN e Universita Genova (IT))

Talk

The MIP Timing Detector (MTD) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) with hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η|=3 is designed to provide precision timing information (with resolution of ~40 ps per layer) for charged particles. This upgrade will reduce the effects of pile-up expected under the High Luminosity LHC running conditions and brings new and unique capabilities to the CMS...

12. 50 ps timing with SiGe Bi-CMOS monolithic pixel sensors

Lorenzo Paolozzi (Universite de Geneve (CH))

Talk

The proof-of-concept of a monolithic silicon pixel detector in SiGe Bi-CMOS technology for outstanding tracking and timing performance was produced in the SG13G2 process of IHP Mikroelektronik. Measurements with a 90Sr source show a time resolution of 50ps for hexagonal pixels of 130µm side. The performance of the front-end electronics is compatible with Cadence Spectre simulations and shows...

7. Recent results of the TIMESPOT project on sensors and electronics developments for future vertex detectors

The TIMESPOT project is a R&D project entirely funded by INFN – Italy. It is active since the end of 2017 and will operate for 3 years. The project aims at the construction of a mini-tracker demonstrator implementing both high space and time resolutions at the single pixel level. The pixels have a pitch of 55x55 µm^2. Specified r.m.s. time resolution is equal or better than 50 ps.
