Characteristics of semiconductor BSE electron microscope detector
Plot, Vítězslav ; Hubálek, Jaromír (referee) ; Boušek, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis deals with the characterization of a semiconductor detector of backscattered electrons. The theoretical part describes two types of electron microscopes, the interaction of the primary beam with the sample and individual types of electrons and radiation arising during the interaction. The most used types of electron detectors in scanning electron microscope are summarized. The basic characteristics of the semiconductor backscattered electron detector and their measurement methods are described. The experimental part deals with measuring the characteristics of the detector made by Delong Instruments and comparing it with commercially available detectors. Volt-ampere characteristic and dark current, the dependence of the gain on the accelerating voltage, as well as the time response of the detector were measured.

Testování ozářených křemíkových detektorů pro experiment ATLAS Upgrade
Novotný, Pavel ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Carli, Ina (referee)
Participation on development of radiation hard particle detectors for the ATLAS experiment was main goal of this bachelor thesis. Collaboration on the detector development requires understanding of principles of particle detection in HEP experiments. It contains topics of radiation interaction with matter, operation and construction of semiconductor detectors and signal processing. Special attention was paid to radiation damage of silicon detectors. Laser test of irradiated detectors, where operation at low temperature was necessary, were performed. Finally, basic electric characteristics of the detectors were obtained. I participated in preparation and realization of measurement and analysis of the results. Further, the new readout system HSIO was installed with my assistance at the detector laboratory of Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics in Prague. It will be used in further development of particle detectors for the ATLAS experiment. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Beta Source Tests of Semiconductor Detectors ITk for ATLAS Upgrade
Kovanda, Ondřej ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Scheirich, Daniel (referee)
Beta Source Tests of Semiconductor Detectors ITk for ATLAS Upgrade Abstract: The ATLAS experiment is due to undergo a major upgrade for the High Luminosity phase of the LHC operation. In particular, the current tracking system (ID) will be replaced by full-silicon ITk. IPNP laboratories are involved in R&D of SCT detector modules for ITk. Low-temperature β-source tests of the R0 FR 5 module prototype were the main focus of this thesis. After testing the cooling cycle, 11 threshold scans were performed on two ABC130 chips, yielding the median collected charge ranging between 2.9 ± 0.2 fC and 3.1 ± 0.2 fC for chip #6 at SNR from 16.0 ± 1.0 at 24 ◦ C to 22.7 ± 1.5 at −15 ◦ C. No trend with temperature was observed outside the error bars. The results are in accordance with previous similar measurements. Question of fitting the median collected charge in various units was adressed and equivalence of the fits was determined. The ability of IPNP laboratories to perform low-temperature β-source tests was proven.

Simulation and Tests of Strip Semiconductor Detectors for ATLAS Upgrade
Theiner, Ondřej ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Řezníček, Pavel (referee)
Together with the ongoing works on preparations of High-Luminosity LHC, there is a need to enhance the performance of various experiments on the collider as well. This is also the case of the experiment ATLAS and its subdetectors such as Inner Detector which will be completely replaced by new all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). This thesis deals with computer simulations of silicon strip detec- tors for ATLAS Upgrade ITk. For this purpose, we are using framework AllPix2 . It enables to simulate everything from the interaction of the particle with silicon, charge propagation in electric and magnetic fields, charge collection, up to signal digitization. We focused mostly on three aspects in the simulations. The first is a precise characterization of used detectors, the second is a simulation of a test beam measurements and the third one is a simulation of test measurements with a radioactive beta source. We also discussed the possibility of simulation of test measurements with a laser. These simulations are important not only because they help us to better understand processes happening inside the detector, but they are also used as a validation of testing measurements. As a result of this, we are able to point out the effects of the experimental setup (or detector itself) which have an impact on measured...

Tests of Semiconductor Detectors for ATLAS Upgrade
Sýkora, Martin ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Mikeštíková, Marcela (referee)
This thesis is focused on beta source tests of prototypes of ITk Strip modules at IPNP in Prague in the framework of the ATLAS Upgrade project. New expe- rimental apparatus will allow comparison of beta source test results with other testing methods including laser or test beam. I participated in the assembly of the whole apparatus, script development for a number of automated measurements using specialized ITSDAQ software and ROOT. Finally, summary of obtained properties of tested end-cap R0 DAQload with mini sensor is provided based on beta source tests and characterization of the readout chip. The resulting collec- ted charge value corresponds to 3.1 fC and together with often referred quantity signal-to-noise ratio, which equals 35, it is one of the most important results of the thesis. The experimental arrangement including overall analysis of results will be usable for the future production phase of the project. 1

Tests of Semiconductor Detectors in Prague Laboratory
Sýkora, Martin ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Řezníček, Pavel (referee)
This thesis is focused on automatisation and synchronisation of newly installed devices in Prague laboratory. The devices will form an experimental arran- gement not only for laser tests of ITK modules for the ATLAS detector, but also for tests of other types of semiconductor detectors. In addition to ensuring of a central control of the devices the goal of the thesis was to understand the principle of particle detection in high energy physics as well as to get acquainted with the construction of pixel and microstrip detectors. I participated in the development of a script for cont- rolling a laser, 3-axis motorised translation stages, an optical attenuator and a pulse generator via RS-232 and GPIB communication interfaces from an object-oriented program ROOT. Finally, all installed devices were put into operation and a detailed description of their bundled software and internal control commands was included. The apparatus will participate during upcoming years in the research of the new generation of ITK modules for ATLAS upgrade.

Vývoj křemíkového detektoru pro experiment Belle II
Bilka, Tadeáš ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Černý, Karel (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes a simulation of the DEPFET pixel semiconductor detector. The DEPFET detector is a key part of a newly constructed Belle II particle detector being built in KEK, Japan. The simulation is made as a package for the basf2 framework, developed for the Belle II experiment. The goal of this thesis was to learn about the Belle II experiment, DEPFET pixel detector and the basf2 framework and to develop a simulation environment, depicting experimental setup at CERN's SPS accelerator in 2009. First part of this thesis describes the Belle II detector, the basf2 framework and summarizes basic information about silicon particle detectors, especially about the DEPFET technology. A task for the analysis of the data is to evaluate residuals after particle track fitting and cluster information in the pixel detector. Finally the simulation with thinned DEPFET sensor being developed for the Belle II is done.
