Time resolution and power consumption of a monolithic silicon pixel prototype in SiGe BiCMOS technology
L. Paolozzi, R. Cardarelli, S. Débieux +12
SiGe BiCMOS technology can be used to produce ultra-fast, low-power silicon pixel sensors that provide state-of-the-art time resolution even without an internal gain mechanism. The…
A 50 ps resolution monolithic active pixel sensor without internal gain in SiGe BiCMOS technology
G. Iacobucci, R. Cardarelli, S. Débieux +9
A monolithic pixelated silicon detector designed for high time resolution has been produced in the SG13G2 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology of IHP Mikroelektronik. This proof-of-concep…
The TT-PET Data Acquisition and Trigger System
Y. Bandi, Y. Favre, D. Ferrere +11
This paper describes the data acquisition and trigger system of the Thin Time-of-flight PET (TT-PET) scanner. The system is designed to read out in the order of 1000 pixel sensors…
Module concept and thermo-mechanical studies of the silicon-based TT-PET small-animal scanner
Didier Ferrere, Yves Bandi, Frank Cadoux +10
The TT-PET collaboration is developing an MRI-compatible small animal PET scanner in which the sensitive element is a monolithic silicon pixel ASIC targeting 30 ps RMS time resolut…
Expected performance of the TT-PET scanner
Emanuele Ripiccini, Daiki Hayakawa, Giuseppe Iacobucci +6
The TT-PET collaboration is developing a small animal TOF-PET scanner based on silicon detectors featuring 30 ps RMS time resolution and intended to be inserted in an existing MRI…
Design a TDC in SiGe for RPC's electronics Front-end for the use in a high-rate experiment
Salvatore Bruno, Roberto Cardarelli, Giulio Aielli +9
With the new generation of the RPC, it is possible to work with induced signals of hundreds , hence the front-end electronics is an important and delicate part of the detector…
