Charge sharing and alignment performance of bent ALPIDEs measured with low-energy protons
Berkin Ulukutlu, Christopher Ehrich, Laura Fabbietti +14
The upgrade of the ALICE experiments Inner Tracking System (ITS3) aims to replace its innermost detection layers with bent wafer-scale CMOS MAPS sensors. This study examines the pe…
Large-scale real-time signal processing in physics experiments: The ALICE TPC FPGA pipeline
J. Alme, T. Alt, C. Andrei +119
For LHC Run 3, the ALICE Time Projection Chamber was upgraded to operate in continuous readout mode. Interaction rates of up to 50 kHz in Pb-Pb collisions require real-time process…
Characterisation of the first wafer-scale prototype for the ALICE ITS3 upgrade: the monolithic stitched sensor (MOSS)
Omar Abdelrahman, Gianluca Aglieri Rinella, Luca Aglietta +136
This paper presents the characterisation and testing of the first wafer-scale monolithic stitched sensor (MOSS) prototype developed for the ALICE ITS3 upgrade that is to be install…
Further Characterisation of Digital Pixel Test Structures Implemented in a 65 nm CMOS Process
Gianluca Aglieri Rinella, Nicole Apadula, Anton Andronic +55
The next generation of MAPS for future tracking detectors will have to meet stringent requirements placed on them. One such detector is the ALICE ITS3 that aims to be very light at…
Detection efficiency and spatial resolution of Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors bent to different radii
Anton Andronic, Pascal Becht, Mihail Bogdan Blidaru +37
Bent monolithic active pixel sensors are the basis for the planned fully cylindrical ultra low material budget tracking detector ITS3 of the ALICE experiment. This paper presents r…
Characterisation of analogue Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor test structures implemented in a 65 nm CMOS imaging process
Gianluca Aglieri Rinella, Giacomo Alocco, Matias Antonelli +91
Analogue test structures were fabricated using the Tower Partners Semiconductor Co. CMOS 65 nm ISC process. The purpose was to characterise and qualify this process and to optimise…
Impact of the gas choice and the geometry on the breakdown limits in Micromegas detectors
P. Gasik, T. Waldmann, L. Fabbietti +3
In this study we investigate the stability limits of Micromegas detectors upon irradiation with alpha particles. The results are obtained with meshes with different optical transpa…
Digital Pixel Test Structures implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process
Gianluca Aglieri Rinella, Anton Andronic, Matias Antonelli +49
The ALICE ITS3 (Inner Tracking System 3) upgrade project and the CERN EP R&D on monolithic pixel sensors are investigating the feasibility of the Tower Partners Semiconductor Co. 6…
The MAPS foil
S. Beolé, F. Carnesecchi, G. Contin +14
We present a method of embedding a Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) into a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) and its interconnection by means of through-hole copper plating…
New (TH)GEM coating materials characterised using spectroscopy methods
B. Ulukutlu, P. Gasik, T. Waldmann +5
In this work GEM and single-hole Thick GEM structures, composed of different coating materials, are studied. The used foils incorporate conductive layers made of copper, aluminium,…
The upgrade of the ALICE TPC with GEMs and continuous readout
J. Adolfsson, M. Ahmed, S. Aiola +232
The upgrade of the ALICE TPC will allow the experiment to cope with the high interaction rates foreseen for the forthcoming Run 3 and Run 4 at the CERN LHC. In this article, we des…
High voltage scheme optimization for secondary discharge mitigation in GEM-based detectors
L. Lautner, L. Fabbietti, P. Gasik +1
We investigate the influence of the high voltage scheme elements on the stability of a detector based on a single cm area GEM with respect to the secondary dischar…
Secondary discharge studies in single and multi GEM structures
A. Deisting, C. Garabatos, P. Gasik +12
Secondary discharges, which consist of the breakdown of a gap near a GEM foil upon a primary discharge across that GEM, are studied in this work. Their main characteristics are the…
Particle identification studies with a full-size 4-GEM prototype for the ALICE TPC upgrade
M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, S. Aiola +177
A large Time Projection Chamber is the main device for tracking and charged-particle identification in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. After the second long shutdown in 2019/…
