High-Intensity 4D-tracking requires to match challenging requirements both in sensors and electronics development. The IGNITE project develops technical solutions for the next generation of trackers at colliders, planning to implement an integrated module, comprising sensor, electronics, and fast readout. System pixels are required to have pitch around 50 µm and time resolution below 30...
In a simplified view, the temporal resolution in LGAD can be considered the sum of two components: the jitter, linked to the electronics noise, and the Landau noise, related to non-uniform ionization. This contribution reviews how signal formation, charge drifts, and gain saturation determine the value of the Landau noise and impact the achievable time resolution. Implementing the above...
The stringent requirements for high-resolution Time-of-Flight detector layers in the HL-LHC experiments currently under design present significant detector development challenges. Achieving precise time resolution while balancing constraints on power consumption, material budget, fabrication, and assembly costs requires careful engineering trade-offs. Monolithic solutions offer a promising...
We present the development of a configurable data acquisition (DAQ) system for detectors integrating either the Timepix4 or Medipix4 ASIC as a front-end. These CMOS ASICs, developed by the CERN Medipix Collaboration, are designed for hybrid pixel detectors used in medical imaging and particle physics applications.
Our system is fully customizable, built on commercial hardware, and leverages...
The dual-radiator RICH (dRICH) detector of the ePIC experiment at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will use SiPMs for detecting Cherenkov light. The photodetector will cover a surface of ~3 m² with 3x3 mm² SiPMs, for a total of more than 300k channels to readout and will be the first application of SiPMs with single-photon detection in a high energy physics experiment.
We focus on the...
The ASPIDES and ADA_5D projects, which deal with entirely different applications, calorimetry for particle physics on the one hand and cosmic ray atomic species identification in space-borne experiments on the other, rely upon two different approaches to tackle a shared problem: the need to process signals covering a large dynamic range.
ASPIDES aims at establishing a technology platform...
Recent generations of ASICs developed at Polimi for medical imaging applications will be presented. ASICs for SiPMs readout of monolithic scintillators allow spectroscopy and position of interaction measurements of gamma-rays, also within a large dynamic range thanks to an active gain control mechanism in the analog channel. Such ASICs are applied, in particular, in prompt-gamma measurements...
