After more than 15 years of operation, the ATLAS Pixel Detector will take its final data this June before being replaced with a new all-silicon detector (ITk) during LHC Long Shutdown 3. Its original part, consisting in 3 layers of planar pixel sensor was continuously operating well since the start of LHC collisions in 2008, while its innermost layer, the Insertable B Layer (IBL) at about 3 cm...

The Electron-Proton/Ion Collider (ePIC) Collaboration is preparing the first experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider, a future high-luminosity collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory dedicated to electron-proton and electron-ion collisions. To support the ePIC QCD programme, the ePIC Silicon Vertex Tracker is required to provide precise charged-particle tracking and vertexing close to the...

Plenary Talk

Vertex detectors for future experiments, e.g., at a possible FCC-ee, will require an unprecedented spatial resolution below 3 µm, a time resolution in the order of 5 ns, a hit-rate capability approaching 100 MHz/cm², and an extremely low material budget only achievable by sensors thinned to 50 µm, and limiting the power consumption below 50 mW/cm².
The OCTOPUS project aims to develop a...

The CMS Inner Tracker (IT) is a key component of the Phase-2 upgrade of the CMS detector, designed to operate under the extreme radiation conditions of the High-Luminosity LHC, while maintaining and extending current tracking performance. The new system, featuring increased granularity, enhanced radiation tolerance, extended geometrical coverage, and higher readout rates capability, will...

83. A Fully Digital Approach to Sub-Micron Resolution Particle Detection: The Particam Concept

Plenary Talk

Silicon sensors are the common position sensitive technology in particle physics and related applications. Despite decades of progress, silicon sensors have not kept pace with the miniaturisation achieved by the broader semiconductor industry, limitations that conventional analogue approaches have been unable to overcome. Key problems are the low dynamic range implied by the reduced operating...

93. Assembly of hybrid detector modules for advanced medical imaging

Plenary Talk

Advances in medical imaging require utilizing reliable and pioneering radiation detector technology. At STFC, in collaboration with US-based company MH3D Inc, we are helping to develop their world's first pre-clinical scanner, the Alpha-SPECT$^{TM}$ Mini. This scanner can select, measure and visualise the distribution of radionuclides during TAT (Targeted Alpha Therapy), a selective form of...
