Project: B4

Title:          Testing new CMOS pixel sensors for particle detection experiments with simulations

DESY group:     ATLAS

Type:           Online project

Duration:       2 Aug - 10 Sep 2021

Description: 
Monolithic CMOS sensors have found their way through imaging technologies into High Energy Physics thanks 
to its multiple advantages in particledetection. Their main characteristic is the integration of the sensor 
and the readout in a single chip, which provides a reduction in productioneffort, costs and material. 
As part of the next generation of silicon pixel sensors that are usually employed as tracker 
and vertex detectors 
in HighEnergy Physics experiments, a new process for CMOS sensors is being investigated at DESY. 
Device simulations (TCAD) are needed to develop theunderstanding of this technology 
and to give an important insight into performance parameters of the sensor, which will be tested 
in experimentslater on. The summer student will experience first-hand the development 
of new particle detectors, be trained in TCAD simulations and eventually be able 
to contribute to this project.


Special Qualifications expected:
Basic knowledge on silicon detectors and notions on programming.
