Fine pixel CCD for ILC Vertex Detector

Abstract

FPCCD (Fine Pixel CCD) is developed for the vertex detector at ILC, whose pixel size is 5 × 5 µm 2. The small pixel size of the FPCCD can reduce the hit occupancy below 1% without readout in the intra-train time of ILC. We produced the test-sample of the FPCCD sensor and the prototype of the readout ASIC in 2008. In this paper, the design and performance of them are reported.

Simulation Study of FPCCD Vertex Detector

“…Since the pixel size of the FPCCD is very small, it has good position resolution and reduces the hit occupancy. The first prototype was developed in 2008 [2], whose pixel size is 12 × 12 µm 2 as shown in Fig. 1.…”
