Description
Monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) represent the state-of-the-art technology for high-resolution, low-material budget detectors for particle-physics applications. The PixElPhi laboratory at MIT was recently created to exploit this technology for future nuclear and particle experiments. In this talk, we will present the activity and the plan for this laboratory, which currently focuses on the digital design, sensor characterization, and mechanical tests for the future Silicon Vertex Detector (SVT) of the ePIC experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider at the LHC. The future SVT detector will use bent and staved MAPS sensors in 65 nm CMOS imaging technology to build the most advanced MAPS-based detector so far developed. The MAPS-based detector technology developed in this lab for the SVT detector represents an ideal choice for the vertexing and tracking system of a future FCC experiment.
