The integration of AI algorithms directly into pixel detectors presents a transformative approach to managing the substantial data volumes generated by high-energy physics experiments, X-ray imaging and other applications. We have investigated two diverse applications and developed a design flow for Algorithm to Accelerator which spans from creating “use inspired” specification to generating...
With the evolution of synchrotron light sources to 4th generation (diffraction limited storage-rings), the brilliance is increased by up to two orders of magnitude compared to 3rd generation facilities. For instance, the Swiss Light Source (SLS) is presently undergoing an upgrade to SLS2.0, promising a performance enhancement by a factor of 40.
One of the main challenges arising from the...
We are excited to present the first results from our Trench Isolated Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (TI-LGAD), developed in collaboration with Micron Semiconductor Ltd and the Scottish Microelectronics Centre. The TI-LGAD represents an innovative approach to low gain avalanche diodes (LGAD), featuring fine segmentation and narrow trenches (1 μm) that effectively isolate adjacent pixels. This...
FASER, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment, is an experiment at the LHC designed to search for light dark matter particles and study the interactions of high-energy neutrinos. A new high-granularity preshower detector will be installed in FASER with the purpose of measuring and discriminating electromagnetic showers generated by two photons with $\mathcal{O}$(TeV) energies. The new preshower will...
