Application in Nuclear physics
- Paul Sellin
As part of a major upgrade of the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during Long Shutdown 2, several new detectors have been installed together with new online and offline computing systems and the modification of detectors readout. A key detector of such upgrade is the new, ultra-light, high-resolution Inner Tracking System (ITS2) that significantly enhances the resolution on...
The CMOS Sensor MIMOSIS is being designed to equip the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) of the CBM experiment at FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany. It will feature 1024 × 504 pixels with 27 x 30µm pitch and combine a time resolution of 5 µs with a spatial resolution of ∼ 5 µm. Moreover, it will have to handle a peak rate of 80 MHz/cm² and radiation doses of 5 MRad and up to $10^{14}~ \mathrm{n_{eq}/cm²}$...
The development of γ-ray energy-tracking arrays using highly segmented High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors is currently the technological frontier of high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy for modern nuclear physics investigations[1]. The tracking capability of such arrays strongly depends on the performance of the Pulse Shape Analysis (PSA), which uses the position-dependent response of...
