Title Novel silicon and GaAs sensors for compact sampling calorimeters Type Journal Article

Abstract Two samples of silicon pad sensors and two samples of GaAs sensors are studied in an electron beam with 5 GeV energy from the DESY-II test-beam facility. The sizes of the silicon and GaAs sensors are about 9 x\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\times $$\end{document} 9 cm2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\hbox {cm}<^>2$$\end{document} and 5 x\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\times $$\end{document} 8 cm2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\hbox {cm}<^>2$$\end{document}, respectively. The thickness is 500 μm for both the silicon and GaAs sensors.

The sensors are foreseen to be used in a compact electromagnetic sampling calorimeter. The readout of the pads is done via traces connected to the pads and the front-end ASICs at the edges of the sensors. For the silicon sensors, copper traces on a Kapton foil are connected to the sensor pads with conducting glue. The pads of the GaAs sensors are connected to bond-pads via aluminium traces on the sensor substrate. The readout is based on a dedicated front-end ASIC, called FLAME. Pre-processing of the raw data and deconvolution is performed with FPGAs. The whole system is orchestrated by a Trigger Logic Unit. Results are shown for the signal-to-noise ratio, the homogeneity of the response, edge effects on pads, cross talk and wrongly assigned signals due to the readout traces.

Title Design, prototyping, and test of a Highly Compact and Granular Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the LUXE experiment Type Journal Article
Year 2025 Publication Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research A Abbreviated Journal Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A
Volume 1080 Issue Pages 170679 - 6pp
Keywords Instrumentation; LUXE; Calorimetry
Abstract The LUXE experiment will investigate the strong-field QED regime by using the interactions of high-energy electrons from the European XFEL in a powerful laser field. It will measure the production of electron-positron pairs as a function of the laser field strength, up to the non-perturbative non-linear regime. LUXE foresees a positron detection system consisting of a tracker and a granular and unprecedentedly compact silicon-tungsten electromagnetic sandwich calorimeter (ECAL-P). The ECAL-P has been designed to cope with the wide range of the expected number of positrons per bunch crossing. In addition, the energy distribution of the positrons has to be measured on top of a widely spread low-energy background. The ECAL-P is composed of tungsten absorber plates interspersed with thin sensor planes, consisting of silicon pad sensors, flexible Kapton printed circuit planes, and carbon fiber support. The sensor planes are less than 1 mm thick and will be read using dedicated front-end ASICs in 130 nm technology (FLAXE) and FPGAs for data pre-processing. GaAs sensor planes with integrated readout strips are also being considered as an alternative to silicon. Prototypes of individual sensor planes have been tested in a 5 GeV electron beam. A full compact calorimeter tower of up to 90 x 90 x 600 mm3 (15 X0) will be produced and tested in an electron beam. The design challenges, sensor characterization, prototyping, integration, commissioning, and the available results from a beam test in 2022 are discussed.

Title Technical Design Report for the LUXE experiment Type Journal Article
Year 2024 Publication European Physical Journal-Special Topics Abbreviated Journal Eur. Phys. J.-Spec. Top.
Volume 233 Issue Pages 1709-1974
Keywords
Abstract This Technical Design Report presents a detailed description of all aspects of the LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the European XFEL with a high-intensity laser, to explore the uncharted terrain of strong-field quantum electrodynamics characterised by both high energy and high intensity, reaching the Schwinger field and beyond. The further implications for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model are also discussed.
