The frontier activities of nuclear and subnuclear physics require devices with excellent performance in terms of stability and ability to operate at high fluxes of incident particles. Silicon carbide could be a good alternative to silicon devices due to its high resistance to radiation.
In this work we present the radiation damage study of a new, large area, p-n junction silicon carbide...
Radiation damage significantly impacts the performance of silicon tracking detectors in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments such as ATLAS and CMS, with signal reduction being the most critical effect. While adjusting sensor bias voltage and detection thresholds can help mitigate these effects, generating simulated data that accurately mirrors the performance evolution with the accumulation...
The next generation of high-energy and high-intensity hadron colliders for particle physics will require tracking detectors able to efficiently record charged particles in harsh radiation environments, where expected fluences exceed 10$^{17}$ particles/cm$^{2}$.
Recently, thin Low-Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs), with an active thickness of $\sim$ 50 $\mu m$, have proven their ability to...
The dual-radiator (dRICH) detector of the ePIC experiment at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will make use of a large array of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) sensors for the detection of the emitted Cherenkov light. The photodetector surface will cover ~ 3 m2 with 3x3 mm2 pixels, for a total of more than 300 k readout channels. SiPM is the emerging solid-state technology for photon...
