The changes of the electrical properties of hadron irradiated silicon detectors take place over several years at room temperature.
This annealing can be accelerated or dcelerated by lowering or elevating the temperature at which the sensors are kept. This fact is used by the
scientists involved in the development of the silicon sensors for the LHC experiments: elevated temperatures (up...

Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB is under construction, to increase the luminosity by two orders of magnitude during a three-year shutdown, with an ultimate goal of 8x1035cm-2s-1 luminosity. To exploit the increased luminosity, an upgrade of the Belle detector has been proposed.
The physical goals of the planned Belle II experiment require a vertex detector with...

The NA62 experiment is aimed at studying ultra-rare kaon decays at the CERN SPS, and its beam spectrometer has to sustain high and non-uniform particle rate (0.8-1.0 GHz in total). Three Gigatracker (GTK) stations will precisely measure momentum and angles for each track of the high intensity NA62 hadron beam, with a time resolution of 150 ps. In order to keep background events at acceptable...

We have been developing monolithic radiation detectors based on OKI Semiconductor Co. Ltd. 0.2 µm Fully-Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS technology. The SOI wafer is composed of a thick high-resistivity substrate (for sensor part) and a thin low-resistivity Si layer (for CMOS circuitry) sandwiching a buried oxide (BOX) layer. After removing the top Si and the BOX layer in the region...

Commissioning and start-up of the LHC at CERN advances very well. It is expected that the accelerator reaches its design luminosity in the run period starting after 2014 and will go well below that before 2018. In order to exploit the full physics potential even in this very high track density environment, the CMS pixel detector will be replaced by a low mass pixel detector with an additional...
