Sensor’s properties:

Bigger size:

- could be advantageous > 10x10 cm2, mitigate radiation pb of mother board

- could lead to change in technology (60 nm and process) more complicated and need more more manpower

- can assess bigger size just extended one side e.g. few columns x 2-4 cm sensor

- assemble different sensor in a more cleaver way (flexible cable or gluing process)

-> start with a reasonable size 1x1 cm2 for the demonstrator

 

Range:

- sensor should be able to measure also up to Fe ions

- thanks to pre-scaling of the clock, able to adapt the range for a given experiment.

- need to make tests under beam conditions with different ions/energies (up to Fe @ 700 MeV/u)

- better reducing the spatial resolution (increasing pixel size).

- Increasing the ADC bit depth for better Z identification

- checking whether it is possible to increase further more the range (up to now 500 - 800 ke-)

-> larger range with better Z identification with less good spatial resolution

 

DAQ:

- need a DAQ, self triggered, external trigger or trigger less 

- time information ?

-> start for self triggered

 

Application:

- for high energy physics (MIP)

- for medical and space application (high ionising particles)

  -> in synergy with the  FOOT project

-> depend on the contour of STRONG2025

 

Environment:

- high magnetic field (MRI) conditions

-> for medical applications ?

 

Other laboratories:

-> involved other lab ?
