Sub-10 ps Minimum Ionizing Particle Detection With Geiger-Mode APDs
/ Gramuglia, Francesco (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Ripiccini, Emanuele (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Fenoglio, Carlo Alberto (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Wu, Ming-Lo (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Paolozzi, Lorenzo (Geneva U. ; CERN) ; Bruschini, Claudio (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Charbon, Edoardo (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne)
Major advances in silicon pixel detectors, with outstanding timing performance, have recently attracted significant attention in the community. In this work we present and discuss the use of state-of-the-art Geiger-mode APDs, also known as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), for the detection of minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with best-in-class timing resolution.

This paper presents a small-area monolithic pixel detector ASIC designed in 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology for the upgrade of the pre-shower detector of the FASER experiment at CERN. The purpose of this prototype is to study the integration of fast front-end electronics inside the sensitive area of the pixels and to identify the configuration that could satisfy at best the specifications of the experiment.

Roadmap toward the 10 ps time-of-flight PET challenge

Since the seventies, positron emission tomography (PET) has become an invaluable medical molecular imaging modality with an unprecedented sensitivity at the picomolar level, especially for cancer diagnosis and the monitoring of its response to therapy. More recently, its combination with x-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) has added high precision anatomic information in fused PET/CT and PET/MR images, thus compensating for the modest intrinsic spatial resolution of PET.
