Monolithic Detector R&D for HEP experiments
- Mathieu Benoit (ORNL)
Monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) are crucial for current and future High Energy Physics detectors, due to their minimal material budget, low power consumption and low cost per unit area. Following the successful deployment of the first detector based on MAPS at CERN (ALICE Inner Tracker System 2, ITS2) adopting the TowerJazz 180 nm imaging CMOS technology, the investigation of the TPSCo...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is an upcoming fixed-target heavy-ion experiment designed to study the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram at high net baryon densities and moderate temperatures. The Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) is located 5-10 cm downstream of the target and serves as the first detector in the setup. It is designed for precise tracking and vertex...
The Barrel Imaging Calorimeter (BIC) is a hybrid detector for the electron-Proton/Ion Collider (ePIC) experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The BIC is a high-performance lead-scintillating-fiber-based sampling calorimeter with layers of AstroPix sensors, an inexpensive, low-power HV-CMOS silicon sensor, for shower profiling. The detector design fulfills stringent ECAL requirements in...
AstroPix is a high-voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) monolithic silicon sensor originally developed to enable precision gamma-ray imaging and spectroscopy in the medium-energy regime (~100 keV–100 MeV) based on the experience from ATLASpix and MuPix. It features a 500 µm pixel pitch, on-pixel amplification and digitization, and low power consumption (~1.5 mW/cm²), making it scalable for large-area,...
