Bi-layer Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space observations between 80-120 GHz [PDF]

, 2015
We have developed Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKID) sensitive in the frequency band from 80 to 120~GHz. In this work, we take advantage of the so-called proximity effect to reduce the superconducting gap of Aluminium, otherwise strongly

First prototype of a silicon tracker using an artificial retina for fast track finding [PDF]

, 2014
We report on the R\&D for a first prototype of a silicon tracker based on an alternative approach for fast track finding. The working principle is inspired from neurobiology, in particular by the processing of visual images by the brain as it happens in ...

Radiation hardness of small-pitch 3D pixel sensors up to HL-LHC fluences

, 2017
A new generation of 3D silicon pixel detectors with a small pixel size of 50$\times$50 and 25$\times$100 $\mu$m$^{2}$ is being developed for the HL-LHC tracker upgrades. The radiation hardness of such detectors was studied in beam tests after irradiation

Lowering the background level and the energy threshold of Micromegas x-ray detectors for axion searches

, 2015
Axion helioscopes search for solar axions by their conversion in x-rays in the presence of high magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential component contributing to the sensitivity of these searches.

Pixel Detectors

, 2005
Pixel detectors for precise particle tracking in high energy physics have been developed to a level of maturity during the past decade. Three of the LHC detectors will use vertex detectors close to the interaction point based on the hybrid pixel ...
