Gain-layer degradation from exposure to radiation limits the use of Low-Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) in high energy particle physics detector experiments. Proper understanding of…
Novel Strip-like Readout Geometries in Resistive AC-coupled Silicon Detectors (RSD / AC-LGAD)
L. Leander Grimm, Lorena Hahn, Brendan Regnery +6
Resistive Silicon Detectors (RSD/AC-LGAD) are novel silicon detectors capable of both precise spatial and temporal resolution. Such sensors will be essential for the next generatio…
Timing resolution from beam tests on thin LGADs down to 16.6 ps
Robert Stephen White, Marco Ferrero, Valentina Sola +14
The paper reports on the timing resolution achieved with Low-Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs), optimised for extreme-fluence conditions, at the DESY Test Beam Facility using 4~GeV/c e…
Why (and How) LGADs Work: Ionization, Space Charge, and Gain Saturation
N. Cartiglia, A. R. Altamura, R. Arcidiacono +10
The temporal resolution of Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs), also known as Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors (UFSDs), is governed by two contributions: jitter, arising from electron…
Proton Energy Dependence of Radiation Induced Low Gain Avalanche Detector Degradation
Veronika Kraus, Marcos Fernandez Garcia, Luca Menzio +1
Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are key components for precise timing measurements in high-energy physics experiments, including the High Luminosity upgrades of the current LH…
A two-prong Approach to the Simulation of DC-RSD: TCAD and Spice
T. Croci, L. Menzio, R. Arcidiacono +12
The DC-coupled Resistive Silicon Detectors (DCRSD) are the evolution of the AC-coupled RSD (RSD) design, both based on the Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) technology. The DC-RSD de…
