The 100$\mu$PET project: A small-animal PET scanner for ultra-high resolution molecular imaging with monolithic silicon pixel detectors
/ Cadoux, Franck (Geneva U.) ; Cardella, Roberto (Geneva U.) ; Iacobucci, Giuseppe (Geneva U.) ; Iodice, Luca (Geneva U.) ; Ferrere, Didier (Geneva U.) ; Gonzalez-Sevilla, Sergio (Geneva U.) ; Kugathasan, Thanushan (Geneva U.) ; Martinelli, Fulvio (Geneva U.) ; Paolozzi, Lorenzo (Geneva U. ; CERN) ; Picardi, Antonio (Geneva U.) et al.
Recent developments in semiconductor pixel detectors allow a new generation of positron-emission tomography (PET) scanners that, combined with advanced image reconstruction algorithms, will allow for a few hundred microns spatial resolutions. Such novel scanners will pioneer ultra-high resolution molecular imaging, a field that is expected to have an enormous impact in several medical domains, neurology among others. [...]

Pixel chamber: a solid-state active-target for 3D imaging of charm and beauty
/ Mulliri, A (Cagliari U.) ; Arba, M (INFN, Cagliari) ; Bhattacharya, P (Cagliari U.) ; Casula, E (Cagliari U.) ; Cicalò, C (INFN, Cagliari) ; De Falco, A (Cagliari U.) ; Mager, M (CERN) ; Marras, D (INFN, Cagliari) ; Masoni, A (INFN, Cagliari) ; Musa, L (CERN) et al.
The aim of the pixel chamber project is to develop the first “solid-state bubble chamber” for high precision measurement of charm and beauty. In this paper we will describe the idea for the first silicon active target conceived as an ultra-high granular stack of hundreds of very thin monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS), which provides continuous, high-resolution 3D tracking of all of the particles produced in proton-silicon interactions occurring inside the detector volume, including open charm and beauty.

Characterization results of MAPS digital prototypes for the ALICE ITS3
/ Villani, Anna (Trieste U.)
/ALICE Collaboration
The three innermost layers of the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS2) will be replaced by a truly cylindrical tracker, the ITS3, to be ready for LHC Run 4 (2029–2032). The ITS3 will be composed of three layers, each made by two self-supporting, ultra-thin (≤50μm) flexible Monolithic Active Pixel silicon Sensors (MAPS) of large area (O(10 × 26 cm2)). [...]
