Abstract Precision machines like electron-positron-colliders and b-factories demand for low material budget and high position resolution when it comes to particle tracking. A low material budget can be achieved by using thin double-sided silicon detectors (DSSDs) and li...

Abstract A common DAQ system is being developed within the CALICE collaboration. It provides a flexible and scalable architecture based on giga-ethernet and 8b/10b serial links in order to transmit either slow control data, fast signals or read out data. A detector inte...

Abstract The performance of prototype active-edge VTT sensors bump-bonded to the Timepix ASIC is presented. Non-irradiated sensors of thicknesses 100–200 μm and pixel-to-edge distances of 50 μm and 100 μm were probed with a beam of charged hadrons with sub-pixel precisi...

Abstract Si-strips are the baseline for the Forward Tracker Detector (FTD) of the International Linear Detector (ILD). The main element of the front-end electronics is a multi-channel ASIC for self-triggered detection and processing of low level charge signals. The arch...

The ATLAS Planar Pixel Sensor R&D Project is a collaboration of 17 institutes and more than 80 scientists. Their goal is to explore the operation of planar pixel sensors for the tracker upgrade at the High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). This work will give a...

Abstract A TPC is considered as tracking detector at a future linear collider. The LCTPC (Linear Collider TPC) collaboration has therefore constructed a prototype TPC for R&D purposes. MPGD readout structures, such as Micromegas or GEMs, are being considered for the TPC...

Abstract The highly granular calorimeter prototypes of the CALICE collaboration have provided large data samples with precise three-dimensional information on hadronic showers with steel and tungsten absorbers and silicon, scintillator and gas detector readout. From the...

A high resolution ($\sigma 2 \sim \mu$) beam telescope based on monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) was developed within the EUDET collaboration. The telescope consists of six sensor planes using Mimosa26 MAPS with a pixel pitch of $18.4 \mu$ and thinned down to $50 ...

Abstract At the end of 2012 the proton irradiation facility at the CERN PS [1] will shut down for two years. With this in mind, we have been developing a new ATLAS scanning facility at the University of Birmingham Medical Physics cyclotron. With proton beams of energy a...
