Subject: new collaboration on radiation hard detectors

Dear Michael:
I hope that you remember me from past Elba/similar conferences. I am working
with Simon Kwan and the Fermilab BTeV pixel group on BTeV pixels & I am in
particular interested in sensor development.
I would love to join the new collaboration that you are forming. I will try
to provide you with some of the information required from perspective
collaborators, let me know whether you need anything else. Looking forward
to hearing from you,
                                    Marina Artuso

-Manpower that can be used in the project (we can fine tune the times
allocated depending upon our involvement in the project).
-Marina Artuso (faculty) (25% of the time)
-1 postdoc-equivalent
-1 graduate student 50% of his/her time
-1 undergraduate student (part time work during academic year and summer
REU).
-1 technician 25% of the time

-Current activities

BTeV pixel R&D:
- Studies of the properties of different pixel sensor technologies
- Wafer property characterization (i-v,c-v)
- Sensor simulation
-Hybrid modules electrical characterization

-Field of interest within this collaboration

We are mainly interested in new silicon detector design, alternative to
silicon for radiation hard applications.


-Available resources:

Clean room for silicon characterization (I-V, C-V, in the next few months
laser pulsing will be added).
Several test station for electronics calibration and cosmic ray data taking
on hybrid pixel prototypes.
