The Muon Collider is a unique future energy frontier machine that will provide both energy reach and high precision within the same accelerator complex. Muon collider detectors are exposed to very large beam induced background (BIB) originating from muon decays. Precision timing 4D charged particle tracking is essential for mitigating out-of-time BIB effects. Forward muon tagging is a crucial...
We present the results of an extensive evaluation of strip and pixel AC-LGAD sensors tested with a 120 GeV proton beam, focusing on the influence of design parameters on the sensor temporal and spatial resolutions. Results show that reducing the thickness of pixel sensors significantly enhances their time resolution, with 20 μm-thick sensors achieving around 20 ps. Uniform performance is...
PIONEER is a recently approved, next-generation, rare-pion decay experimental program at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. The first phase of the experiment will focus on a measurement of the charged-pion branching ratio to electrons vs. muons Re/μ = Γ (π → eν(γ)) /Γ (π → μν(γ)). This is a test of lepton flavor universality to be performed at an order of magnitude greater...
Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are characterized by a fast rise time (~500ps) and extremely good time resolution(down to 17ps), and potential for a very high repetition rate with ~1 ns full charge collection. For the application of this technology to near future experiments such as e+e- Higgs factories, the ePIC detector at the Electron-Ion Collider, or smaller experiments (e.g., the...
Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) have excellent timing performance due to their incorporation of a doped layer tuned to provide moderate gain of about a factor 20. Classic LGADs have no-gain regions; addressing this has stimulated various novel designs. Due to their fill factor limitations, the classic LGAD's spatial resolution is limited to ~ 1mm. The AC-coupled LGAD (AC-LGAD) addresses...
As a wide bandgap semiconductor material, silicon carbide (SiC) has been widely used in power devices due to its inherent advantages. In recent years, the use of SiC as a replacement for silicon in charged particle detectors for collider experiments has gained increasing attention. However, due to various limitations in SiC processing (such as ultra-low doping epitaxy and high energy ion...
4D Tracking is a major new technology that will be transformative for future colliders. 4-dimensional tracking with ultra-fast timing and very fine spatial resolution will be key to addressing the increasing complexity of events at hadron colliders (HL-LHC and FCC-hh) and suppressing the beam-induced backgrounds at muon colliders. Higgs factories (FCC-ee/ILC) will utilize timing layers with...
AstroPix is a high-voltage CMOS monolithic active pixel sensor (HVCMOS MAPS) originally developed for space-based missions, specifically for gamma-ray astrophysics. Its precise energy and position resolution, low noise, and low power consumption, combined with minimal dead material, meet the performance requirements for the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter (BIC) in the ePIC detector for the future...
We will present the ongoing efforts on development of high precision low-power CMOS detectors for particle detection. Design efforts to produce MAPS sensors with a commercial foundry in the US, and characterization of prototypes of ARCADIA sensors will be shown. Efforts toward designing and producing MAPS with a commercial foundry in the US are pursued within our US-Japan consortium and we...
We present our progress towards the development of 3D-integrated sensing technology using advanced manufacturing techniques and collaboration with industry leaders. The aim of the project is to develop technology to enable large-scale particle detectors with 3D-integrated designs to simultaneously achieve 10 μm position resolution and 10 ps precision timing, with low-power consumption and high...
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a new flagship facility that will be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory to study properties of nuclear matter and the strong interactions through electron-proton and electron-ion collisions. High efficiency, high resolution vertexing, tracking and particle identification in a wide kinematic range are critical to fulfill the requirements of the EIC...
Over the last few years, muon colliders have emerged as an exciting option for enabling access to the 10 TeV energy scale in the post-HL-LHC era; however, realizing this promise still requires significant research and development in both accelerator and detector technologies. Two potential designs for a 10 TeV center-of-mass energy muon collider detector are currently under study in both the...
