The ATLAS experiment will replace completely the inner tracker. The new one will be formed by 2 subsystems make with silicon pixel detectors in the inner region and silicon strip sensors in the outer region. The Silicon strip system will have a barrel region, made by 4 barrels, and two end-caps each made by a cylinder composed by 6 disc. Each of the discs will be made by 32 local support...
IFAE is involved in the development and production of pixel modules for both the Inner Tracker (ITk) and High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) upgrades of the ATLAS detector system, which are designed to address the challenges of the HL-LHC at CERN.
The innermost layer of the pixel system for the ITk will feature novel 3D silicon sensors with a thin active substrate and small pixel pitch,...
The High Luminosity upgrade of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) requires new high-radiation tolerant silicon pixel sensors for the innermost part of the tracking detector in the CMS experiment. The innermost layer of the tracker will be exposed to a fluence of 2.6E16 neq/cm2 during the high-luminosity operation period. The 3D pixel sensor technology has been proven to be the best option...
An instrumented baffle surrounding the end mirror of the input mode cleaner cavity of the Advanced Virgo+ interferometer was installed in spring 2021. This baffle is equipped with active sensors to allow monitoring of light scattered in the cavity and can be used for cavity pre-alignment. A second generation of instrumented baffles, designed and currently under construction at IFAE, will be...
This talk will give a brief overview of the detectors used in optical telescopes both on earth and space missions for astronomical and cosmological observations: CCD’s and Focal Plane Arrays. It will describe some of the new trends and challenges in this area and will make emphasis in their special requirements in terms of density, noise, etc., and the instrumentation needed for their...
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...
The WASA-FRS HypHI Collaboration aims to study hypernuclei via heavy-ion induced reactions [1]. The hypernuclear production can be explained by the coalescence between hyperons from the participant zone of collisions and the spectator fragments. In central or peripheral collisions, a significant number of particles are produced. This feature permits the determination of the interaction point...
R3B is a scientific collaboration of FAIR working towards the realization of an apparatus, located at the end of the High-Energy Branch of this facility, that will received exotic isotopes of any chemical element from Hydrogen up to Uranium moving at energies around 1 A GeV.
R3B will allow us to explore the limits of the nuclear shell model, investigate exotic (barionic and strange) nuclear...
The SuperKEKB collider will undergo a major upgrade at the end of the
decade to reach the target luminosity of 6 10^35 cm-2 s-1, offering the
opportunity to install a new pixelated vertex detector (VTX) for the Belle
II experiment. The VTX will be more robust against the expected higher
level of machine background and more performant in terms of standalone
track finding efficiency.
The...
