Description
ITkPix and CROC are the culmination of more than 10 years of Front-End Chip R&D to produce a Pixel detector readout chip to operate within the extreme environment of the ATLAS and CMS Pixel detectors during the HL-LHC era. Now that the Pixel detectors have entered their production phase we can look back to identify what worked well, which challenges were the hardest to overcome, and what can we learn for the next generation of Pixel detectors at future colliders. This talk with show some of the most recent bench measurements to emulate conditions the chips will see during detector operation, mass production and test data from more than 65,000 chips, and better understanding their integration in modules and larger systems. Detectors at future colliders will face new or more extreme challenges, some beyond simple design optimization and requiring novel approaches to be overcome. Reflecting over the past 10 years this talk will identify multiple strategies for future Pixel detectors to operate with higher performance, reliability, or streamline their R&D.
