Silicon Devices for Charged-Particle Track and Vertex Detection

CHARGED PARTICLE TRACKING AND VERTEX DETECTION GROUP SUMMAFtY REPORT’

S-=-Y Charged particle tracking is essential in order to investigate the new physics expected at the SSC. The Tradting Group studied radiation damage and rate limitationa to tracking devices, vertex detectors, and central tracking. The Group concluded that silicon strips and large wire tracking chambers with small cells can probably survive at the design luminosity of 10j3 cmm2 see-‘; however, ...

SILICON PIN DIODE HYBRID ARRiYS FOR CHARGED PARTICLE DETECTION: -BUILDING BLOCKS FOR VERTEX DETECTORS AT THE SSC”

Two-dimensional arrays of solid state detectors have long been used in visible and infrared systems. Hybrid arrays with separately optimized detector and readout substrates have been extensively developed for infrared sensors. The characteristics and use of these infrared readout chips with silicon PIN diode arrays produced by MICRON SEMICONDUCTOR for detecting high-energy particles are reporte...

Physical Aspects of Charged Particle Track Structure

A plasmon generated by a swift charged particle constitutes a coherent excitation about the particle track. We discuss the physics of the plasmon in conden~ed m.atter and its e~ects on ele~tr?n transport in liquid water. Criteria for the existence of the plasmon III a given substance, Its chara~teflsttcs when generated by a swift charged particle, its representation in impact parameter space, a...

Thin-film silicon detectors for particle detection

Integrated particle sensors have been developed using thin-film on ASIC technology. For this purpose, hydrogenated amorphous silicon diodes, in various configurations, have been optimized for particle detection. These devices were first deposited on glass substrates to optimize the material properties and the dark current of very thick diodes (with thickness up to 50 μm). Corresponding diodes w...
