Particle physics experiments running at future accelerator facilities will rely on fast timing detectors to cope with high event pileup and to enhance particle identification capabilities. Direct band gap engineered semiconductor nanostructures show a high potential for emission of prompt photons due to quantum confinement, standing out in fast timing and high light yield with potential low cost production, thus triggering interest in the high energy physics community.
