En It

The final goal of the UFSD project is to develop a finely segmented silicon sensor able to reach resolutions of ~10 picoseconds and ~ 20-30 microns. We plan to reach this goal by implanting an extra doping layer to achieve controlled charge multiplication.

This project is developed within the INFN gruppo V and RD50 Collaboration at CERN. We thank the Ministero degli Affari Esteri (MAE) for the important contribution within the program of Significant Bilateral Italy-USA projects.

The project is supported by an ERC advanced grant.
