Pixel Vertex Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
Pixel vertex detectors are THE instrument of choice for the tracking of charged particles close to the interaction point at the LHC. Hybrid pixel detectors, in which sensor and read-out IC are separate entities, constitute the present state of the art in detector technology. Three of the LHC detectors use vertex detectors based on this technology. A development period of almost 10 years has resulted in pixel detector modules which can stand the extreme rate and timing requirements as well as the very harsh radiation environment at the LHC for its full life time and without severe compromises in performance. This lecture reviews the physics and technology of pixel detectors for tracking and vertexing at the LHC.

CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) for future vertex detectors
This paper reviews the development of CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) for future vertex detectors. MAPS are developed in a standard CMOS technology. In the imaging field, where the technology found its first applications, they are also known as CMOS Image Sensors. The use of MAPS as a detector for particle physics was first proposed at the end of 1999. Since then, their good perform...
متن کاملMonolithic CMOS Pixel Detector for ILC Vertex Detection
Studies in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, have demonstrated the power of a pixel vertex detector in experiments at a future high energy linear collider. Silicon CCDs (Charged Coupled Devices) [1] seemed like the vertex detector sensors of choice for the International Linear Collider (ILC) until the accelerator technology decision. With the choice of a cold TESLAlike superconducting technology for ...
متن کاملPixel Detectors for Charged Particles
Pixel Detectors, as the current technology of choice for the innermost vertex detection, have reached a stage at which large detectors have been built for the LHC experiments and a new era of developments, both for hybrid and for monolithic or semi-monolithic pixel detectors is in full swing. This is largely driven by the requirements of the upgrade programme for the superLHC and by other colli...

Over the last few years great progress has been made in the technological development of Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) such that upgrades to existing vertex detectors using this technology are now actively being considered. Future vertex detection at an upgraded KEK-B Factory, already the highest luminosity collider in the world, will require a detector technology capable of withstandi...
متن کاملA DEPFET Pixel Vertex Detector for TESLA Proposal and Prototyping Report
DEPFET pixels offer a unique possibility for a high resolution pixel vertex detector as the innermost component of the tracking system in the TESLA detector. DEPFET pixels excel in comparison to other pixel detectors in the simultaneous achievement of high spatial, energy and time resolution even at room temperature operation. In the DEPFET pixel scheme the signal charge is not shifted out but ...
