Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Next generation particle physics experiments are requiring charged particle detection in 4 dimensions at the micron and picosecond scale. Achieving timing resolution better than 100ps with position resolution better than 100 micron is a major challenge. We are proposing to a concept taking advantage of the high timing resolution capabilities of single photon avalanche diodes (SPAD), developed for single photon, i.e. single charged carrier detection. The main drawback of SPADs compared to other technologies for charged particle detection is the inability to separate the signals from a single carrier, thermally produced in particular, from the signals produced by a charged particle generating more than 100 ionization charge carriers. We are proposing a concept for enhancing the number of SPADs that avalanche at the same time per charged particle such that thermal noise can be effectively rejected. This concept relies on allowing a fraction of the charge carrier to diffuse in the silicon hence reaching neighboring SPADs. We assess the signal and noise including the light emission process in avalanches that can mimic the multi-SPAD signal of a charge particle. We investigate this concept for the detection of Minimum Ionizing Particle that go through the all detector and keV scale electrons that stop very close to the surface. We show that this concept is compelling providing that the average number of photons emitted per avalanche is sufficiently low. Such concept could then be implemented as a modified configuration of back-side illuminated SPAD arrays.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
