Marina Artuso Velopix Workshop 5

Our interests

• Simulation studies to optimize geometry/detector & electronics parameters

• Investigate hybrid pixel option based on diamond sensor & compare with alternative sensor technologies

• Study thermal properties of diamond as cooling substrates• Develop low mass RF shield • Test beam telescope and test beam/irradiation program to

select sensor/electronics technology• Study of different data flow architecture & application of 3D

vertical integration to our needs• Electronics for data concentration
