10 ps timing with highly irradiated 3D trench silicon pixel sensors

In this paper the results of a beam test characterization campaign of 3D trench silicon pixel sensors are presented. A time resolution in the order of 10 ps was measured both for non-irradiated and irradiated sensors up to a fluence of 2.5 x 1016 1 MeV neq cm-2. This feature and a detection efficiency close to 99% make this sensors one of the best candidates for 4D tracking detectors in High-Energy-Physics experiments.

Automated summary

This paper presents the results of a beam test characterization campaign of 3D trench silicon pixel sensors. A time resolution of about 10 ps was achieved for both non-irradiated and irradiated sensors up to a fluence of 2.5 x 1016 1 MeV neq cm-2. With a detection efficiency close to 99%, these sensors are considered as one of the best candidates for 4D tracking detectors in High-Energy-Physics experiments.
