Silicon radiation detectors are an integral component of current and planned collider experiments in high energy physics. Simulations of these detectors are essential for deciding operational configurations, for performing precise data analysis, and for developing future detectors. In this white paper, we briefly review the existing tools and discuss challenges for the future that will require research and development to be able to cope with the foreseen extreme radiation environments of the High Luminosity runs of the Large Hadron Collider and future hadron colliders like FCC-hh and SPPC.

As the increasing number of vehicles and more important role of the car in the daily life, the issue of security and protection of the vehicle has attracted more attention. Nowadays, the functions like location, monitor, anti-theft or the medium, low level vehicles are not popularised. Current existed systems have the problems of incomplete functions, unfriendly-user interface which cannot well fulfil the needs from users. This essay introduces the design of vehicle security and protection system based on C/S architecture. This system could realise the functions of remote monitoring, in-car phone call, fatigue driving monitoring, remote security, alarm call, ensuring the vehicle is under surveillance 24 hours a day, so to enhance the safety factor. This system is proved by the test for its stable running, uninterrupted transmission, user-friend interface and strong operability.

“…The read-out electronics may either be incorporated at the TCAD device level itself or the TCAD fields have to be imported to other read-out tools. MixedMode in Silvaco [11], MixedMode in Sentaurus [12], Weightfield 2.0 [32], TRACS [34], and Pixelav [35] are a few read-out electronic tools.…”

The exceptional performance of the silicon sensors in the radiation environment has led to their extensive application in high energy physics. Even so, the future experiments foresee these sensors to be exposed to higher radiation levels. Radiation induces a change in the macroscopic properties of the sensor, thus, severely affecting the sensor performance and ultimately becoming the limiting factor for its operation. With an aim to extend the radiation hardness capabilities of the silicon sensors for the future experiments there has been a growing interest in sensors with novel designs and unique characteristic of intrinsic charge multiplication. However, it is important to understand the effect of radiation damage on these sensors, before employing them in the main detector system. The RD50 collaboration extensively employs TCAD simulation tools for an in-depth understanding and structural optimization of the newly proposed sensor technologies, complementing the measurement results. The simulation package, by the finite element method, solves the Poisson equation coupled with the current continuity equations in the main device, typically with the drift-diffusion current model. There is also the possibility of co-simulating an electronic circuit connected to the main device using the incorporated SPICE package, for example to predict single event effects or read-out related waveforms. The simulation tools also provide an insight into the sensor operation both in the non-irradiated and the irradiated scenario in order to predict the voltage dependence of the leakage current, charge collection and electrical field distribution as function of irradiation. This has required the development of a radiation damage model within the simulation tools such that the measurements are well reproduced. The details of the radiation damage modelling using two commercial TCAD tools Silvaco and Synopsys, are discussed in this work.
