Description
Silicon sensors are extensively used in various applications to image radiation. These applications range from experimental physics at colliders to medicine, biology, environmental monitoring and more. This two-hour lecture will cover several aspect of silicon radiation detectors ranging from fabrication, basic working principle, applications and aspect related to signal formation before and after irradiation. In particular students should expect to learn about:
• Strip and Pixel sensors
• Hybridization
• Basics of Signal formation in silicon
• Basics of radiation effects in silicon devices -
• Examples of applications in High Energy Physics, medicine, environmental monitoring and more
• Novel technologies like micro-fabricated 3D sensors
