Low gain avalanche diodes for photon science applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics
Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) are silicon sensors designed to achieve an internal gain in the order of 10 through the impact ionization process. The development of LGADs was pushed forward by their application in High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments,

Resolving soft X-ray photons with a high-rate hybrid pixel detector

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics
Due to their high frame rates and dynamic range, large area coverage, and high signal-to-noise ratio, hybrid silicon pixel detectors are an established standard for photon science applications at X-ray energies between 2 keV and 20 keV.
