  2. 1. Silicon Tracking and a Search for Long-lived Particles

    Author : Rebecca Carney; Samuel Silverstein; Sara Strandberg; Maurice Garcia-Sciveres; Joel Goldstein; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ATLAS; silicon; silicon tracking; radiation damage; neuromorphic; neuromorphic computing; long-lived particles; susy; rpvll; displaced vertices; pixel; pixel detector; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The ATLAS Detector, below the surface of the Swiss-French border, measures the remnants of high-energy proton-proton collisions, accelerated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Recently the LHC paused operations, having delivered an integrated luminosity corresponding to 150 fb−1 of data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. READ MORE

  4. 2. Position Sensitive Detectors : Device Technology and Applications in Spectroscopy

    Author : Henrik Andersson; Hans-Erik Nilsson; Göran Thungström; Jan Linnros; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Position sensitive detectors; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the development, processing and characterization of position sensitive detectors and, in addition, to the development of compact and cost effective spectrometers. Position sensitive detectors are used to measure, with great accuracy and speed, the position of a light spot incident on the surface. READ MORE

  5. 3. Silicon-based Photonic Devices : Design, Fabrication and Characterization

    Author : Ziyang Zhang; Min Qiu; Thomas Koch; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photonic Devices; Silicon Photonics; Parallel Computation; Nanofabrication; Electron Beam Lithography; Optical Characterisation; Optics; Optik;

    Abstract : The field of Information and Communication Technologies is witnessing a development speed unprecedented in history. Moore’s law proves that the processor speed and memory size are roughly doubling each 18 months, which is expected to continue in the next decade. READ MORE

  6. 4. Silicon Strip Detectors for Scanned Multi-Slit X-Ray Imaging

    Author : Mats Lundqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : x-ray; silicon strip detectors; mammography; multi-slit; scanned slit; edge-on;

    Abstract : Digital imaging systems for medical applications must bebased upon highly efficient detectors to ensure low patientdose. This is particularly important in screening mammographybecause of the large number healthy women that is examined. Amammography system must also provide high spatial and contrastresolution.

  7. 5. Fabrication and Characterization of Photon Radiation Detectors

    Author : Claes Mattsson; Hans-Erik Nilsson; Göran Thungström; Mikael Lindeberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal Detectors; Posistion Sensitive Detectors; Electronics; Elektronik;

    Abstract : This thesis involves a study the fabrication and characterization of photon radiation detectors. The focus has been to develop and improve the performance of optical measurement systems, but also to reduce their cost. The work is based on the study of two types of detectors, the position sensitive detector and the thermal detector. READ MORE
