The wide-bandgap semiconductor 4H-SiC offers radiation hardness, thermal stability and a high critical field, making it an attractive fast-timing detector material that can operate without cooling in harsh environments. To compensate for its low charge generation, the low-gain avalanche diode (LGAD) concept provides internal amplification, but device performance hinges on a narrow gain-layer...

Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPMs) are increasingly recognized as detectors of choice for a wide range of applications due to their high photon detection efficiency, compactness, low cost and insensitivity to magnetic fields. This work demonstrates their capability to directly detect charged particles with excellent time resolution by leveraging Cherenkov radiation generated within the...

Superconducting nano-wire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) combine sub-eV sensitivity with intrinsic timing capabilities approaching the picosecond scale, making them compelling candidates for a new generation of high-energy physics detectors. Extending the exceptional single-photon performance of SNSPDs to relativistic charged particles enables high precision luminometry applications for...

The ALICE ITS3 upgrade represents a major step forward in silicon tracking, employing the commercial 65 nm CMOS imaging technology (TPSCo) to develop ultra-thin monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) for high-energy physics applications. The target performance includes spatial resolution below 5 μm, an extremely low material budget (0.09% $X_0$ per layer), and a radiation tolerance up to...

This study investigates a novel, ultra-thin 3D silicon detector featuring submicron columnar electrodes fabricated via an advanced 8-inch CMOS process at the IME-CAS. With an active thickness of 30 μm and a column diameter of only 0.5 μm, the architecture generates high localized electric fields that enable intrinsic charge multiplication without the requirement for dedicated gain layers...

Among the main challenges in modern fundamental physics, low-energy phenomena related to dark matter searches, cosmic microwave background (CMB), and gravitational-wave astronomy require ultra-sensitive detectors. Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) and Josephson Escape Sensors (JESs) [Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 2020] are promising candidates for the development of single-photon calorimeters and...
