A review of design considerations for the sensor matrix in semiconductor pixel detectors for tracking in particle physics experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods have been developed to improve the reliability of silicon sensors, in particular for pixel detectors, and their resistance to radiation damage, as it is encountered in tracking detectors in particle physics experiments. The choice of wafer material, the processing techniques, and the sensor layout are discussed. Alternative semiconductor substrates and variations on the planar hybrid design are mentioned. # 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. PACS: &; &; &

Fast System Matrix Calculation in CT Iterative Reconstruction
Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...
متن کاملCharacterisation of micro-strip and pixel silicon detectors before and after hadron irradiation
The use of segmented silicon detectors for tracking and vertexing in particle physics has grown substantially since their introduction in 1980. It is now anticipated that roughly 50,000 six inch wafers of high resistivity silicon will need to be processed into sensors to be deployed in the upgraded experiments in the future high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) at CERN. These detectors will also face an...
متن کاملFuture Semiconductor Detectors Using Advanced Microelectronics with Post-processing, Hybridization and Packaging Technology
Several challenges for tracking with semiconductor detectors in the high rate environment of future elementary particle physics experiments are discussed, such as reduction of spurious hits and ambiguities and identification of short-lived 'messenger' particles inside jets. To meet these requirements the instrumentation increasingly calls on progress in microelectronics. Advanced silicon integr...
متن کاملSilicon tracking detectors in high-energy physics
Since the fifties, semiconductors have been used as energy spectrometers, mainly in unsegmented ways. With the planar technique of processing silicon sensors in unprecedented precession, strip-like segmentation has allowed precise tracking and even vertexing, culminating in the early eighties with NA11 in the tagging of heavy flavor quarks—here the c-quark. With the later miniaturization of ele...
متن کاملUsing a Novel Concept of Potential Pixel Energy for Object Tracking
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new method for kernel based object tracking which tracks the complete non rigid object. Definition the union image blob and mapping it to a new representation which we named as potential pixels matrix are the main part of tracking algorithm. The union image blob is constructed by expanding the previous object region based on the histogram feature. The pote...
