A new Low Gain Avalanche Diode concept: the double-LGAD Open
This paper describes the new concept of the double-LGAD. The goal is to increase the charge at the input of the electronics, keeping a time resolution equal or better than a standard (single) LGAD; this has been realized by adding the char…

Measurements of the Cherenkov effect in direct detection of charged particles with SiPMs Open
In this paper, different Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) sensors have been tested with charged particles to characterize the Cherenkov light produced in the sensor protection layer. A careful position scan of the SiPM response has been perf…
