Description
The High-Luminosity LHC will continue searches for physics beyond the Standard Model with proton-proton collisions at 10 times the luminosity of previous LHC runs. The physics program relies on precise measurements of charged particles near the beams. The CMS experiment will use layers of high-granularity hybrid silicon pixel detectors. The pixilation is achieved by bonding the silicon to tiny electrodes that are directly connected to the specially designed integrated circuit, RD53C. The pixel detector components are in the pre-production phase, and evaluating prototypes of sensor-chip assemblies from different vendors provides fast feedback and increases reliability during production. I will discuss our efforts to test the viability of bare detector assemblies using a manual probe station and with newly designed electronic charge-injection methods. I will discuss the effectiveness of the new method.
