First Demonstration of a Two-Tier Pixelated Avalanche Sensor for Charged Particle Detection

This paper presents the first experimental demonstration of a pixelated two-layer Geiger-mode avalanche sensor designed for the direct detection of charged particles. In the proposed device, each pixel is formed by two vertically aligned avalanche detectors, exploiting the coincidence between two si...
