Advances in Pixel Detectors and Integration Technologies

Invited Paper

Hybrid silicon pixel detectors were developed to meet the requirements of vertex detection at the LHC. Three of the four large experiments are equipped with pixel vertex trackers and the fourth will upgrade to one soon. Hybrid pixel detectors were chosen because they provide hit information tagged to a single LHC bunch crossing with an extremely high signal to noise ratio. This information...
