Descripción
This abstract provides an overview of the Low Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) Technology developed at IMB-CNM, highlighting its developent since its introduction in 2014. Initially designed for particle physics, the LGAD has become a radiation-hard timing detector chosen to be the timing layer at CERN's CMS and ATLAS experiments. IMB-CNM's research works on various LGAD variants, including AC-LGAD, Inverse LGAD, and the most recent nLGAD. The presentation emphasizes the design, development, and performance of the nLGAD, particularly its application for soft X-ray imaging/low penetrating radiation imaging. Characterization of the nLGAD has been carried out in the radiation detectors lab at the IMB-CNM using the transient current technique.
