Recent advances in CCD technology due to the increase in the purity of the silicon have allowed the fabrication of thicker devices, achieving a record thickness of 675 microns with an area of 6cm x 6cm, for a CCD mass of 5.8 g. This opens up a new experimental frontier in searching for coherent scattering of dark matter or neutrinos from silicon nuclei that produce ionisation energies of only...

Silicon tracking detectors are playing a crucial role in space-borne astroparticle experiments for the measurement of both charged cosmic rays and gamma rays.
The technology used for accelerator based experiments has been proven to work properly in space with high reliability and is used in several running and planned experiments.
I will review the current experiments equipped with silicon...
