| Title | Cosmic Telescope |
| Description | We have converted the 4-layer ATLASPix3 Telescope into a cosmic test stand that allows us to characterise sensors as Device Under Test using cosmic tracks. A more time consuming but cheaper alternative to the use of test beams. |
| Type Of Technology | New/Improved Technique/Technology |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Impact | This developments avoids costly travels and testbeams and can be used in between test beam measurements. |
| Title | Sensor test stand |
| Description | Test stand for sensor testing under controlled temperature and humidity environment. |
| Type Of Technology | Systems, Materials & Instrumental Engineering |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Impact | This test stand allows for the characterisation of irradiated sensors under controlled environment, in particular at low temperatures and low humidity. This is particularly important for irradiated sensors to prevent thermal runaway. Cold temperatures usually require a controlled environment, either a vacuum or protective gas. In this case dry air was chosen to allow for temperatures below -40 deg C. The test stand also allows thermocycling of sensors, i.e. provides heating as well. |
