Description

4D tracking is an enabling technology for future particle collider, allowing operation at high pile-up an luminosity whil maintaining precise track to vertecx association.
By combining spatial and timing information. 4D tracking reduces particles mismatches and offers new opportunities for particle identification (mainly in flavour physics). With the HL-LHC currently under construction, 4D tracking technologies have gained considerable attention in recent years.

In this talk, the latest developments on 4D tracking are presented, focusing on IFCA's project. Mainly on: Trench Isolated LGADs (Ti-LGADs), where pixel isolation is achieved etching dielectric trenches; Inverse LGADs (i-LGADs), with a segmented multiplication layer at the backside; and 3D sensors, where the electric field is decoupled of the detector thickness.
