Sensor operating point calibration and monitoring of the ALICE Inner Tracking System during LHC Run 3
D. Agguiaro, G. Aglieri Rinella, L. Aglietta +285
The new Inner Tracking System (ITS2) of the ALICE experiment began operation in 2021 with the start of LHC Run 3. Compared to its predecessor, ITS2 offers substantial improvements…
Yield, noise and timing studies of ALICE ITS3 stitched sensor test structures: the MOST
Jory Sonneveld, René Barthel, Szymon Bugiel +18
In the LHC long shutdown 3, the ALICE experiment upgrades the inner layers of its Inner Tracker System with three layers of wafer-scale stitched sensors bent around the beam pipe.…
Electrical/piezoresistive effects in bent Alpide MAPS
M. J. Rossewij, E. M. Okkinga, H. M. Naqvi +2
The ITS3 upgrade baseline design employs MAPS (Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor) in bent state. Bending experiments with the existing ITS2 MAPS (=Alpide chip) show it remains functio…
First demonstration of in-beam performance of bent Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors
ALICE ITS project, :, G. Aglieri Rinella +250
A novel approach for designing the next generation of vertex detectors foresees to employ wafer-scale sensors that can be bent to truly cylindrical geometries after thinning them t…
