The new monolithic ASIC of the preshower detector for di-photon measurements in the FASER experiment at CERN

Abstract

The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) is an experiment searching for new light and weakly-interacting particles at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. FASER is composed of different sub-detectors, including silicon microstrip detectors, scintillator counters and an electromagnetic calorimeter. In this paper, a new preshower detector for the FASER experiment is presented. The new detector, based on monolithic pixel ASICs, will provide excellent spatial and time resolutions and a large charge dynamic range. First results from a prototype chip produced by IHP in 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology are shown.
