The Advanced Accelerator Diagnostic (AAD) collaboration, which is a consortium of University-of-California affiliated institutions and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, is exploring the use of electronic-grade diamond sensors for diagnostic applications that push the limits of the capability of the sensors and their applications. Results from TCAD simulation of charge collection...
We are exploring the properties of different sensor materials to enable large-scale low-mass tracking detectors for future colliders and other applications. For this purpose, we are targeting materials amendable to fast and economical fabrication methods, for example Indium Phosphide (InP). First devices have been fabricated in different electrode geometries on single-crystal 350 $\mu$m thick...
In preparation for the High Luminosity LHC, the ATLAS Experiment is constructing a new Inner Tracker (ITk) composed of silicon pixel and silicon strip detectors. After multiple years of prototyping, the ITk strips project entered the pre-production phase in late-2021. However, in early 2022, clusters of strips exceeding the noise specification were observed when operating modules at cold...
Silicon sensors play a crucial role in High-Energy and Nuclear Physics (HEP & NP) experiments, providing high-precision position and timing measurements for traversing particles. Their utilization is essential for
achieving the physics program goals of most ongoing and future NP and HEP
experiments. In the future of nuclear and particle physics research, it is imperative to instrument large...
