Abstract:
Scientific frontiers such as high-energy proton-proton collision in particle physics, electron-ion collision in nuclear physics, and high-energy proton beam facilities impose extremely harsh radiation environment which calls for detectors capable of strong radiation resistant. Solid-state material, especially wide-bandgap semiconductors, are good candidates for these applications. Silicon Carbide (SiC) as a typical wide-bandgap material gained interest from power electronics and microwave RF fields in recent years. Its greater band gap, higher displacement threshold energy and higher breakdown field strength make it a hot topic in the field of high-temperature radiation-resistant particle detectors. This talk will focus on the development of SiC as timing detector for particle physics under CERN RD50 framework.
About the speaker:
Xin Shi got PhD in particle physics from Cornell University in 2011. He is currently an Associate Professor of Physics at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He has worked on the BESII, CLEO-c, and CMS experiments before joining ATLAS. He is the team leader of IHEP ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) Phase 2 upgrade project. He is also the team leader of RD50 in IHEP focusing on the SiC detector R&D for future collider experiments.
