Thema:Characterization of the Final Silicon Sensor Modules for the Upgrade of the CMS Experiment
Zusammenfassung:With up to 2000 2S modules to be assembled, the ETP contributes significantly to building the new tracking detector of the CMS experiment, which is scheduled to start operation at the high-luminosity LHC in 2029. The pre-production of the modules will start in summer 2024. In your Master's thesis, you will be involved in the construction of these modules as well as in their characterization.

Thema:Resistive Silicon Detector R&D for Phase 3 CMS and Future Colliders
Zusammenfassung:Over the past ten years, silicon timing detectors with gain layers have developed from research and development (R&D) projects to full subsystems that will be installed in large scale collider experiments such as the CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN. This technology also led to the idea of ‘4D’ sensors capable of high spatial and temporal resolution. At KIT, we collaborate with the University of Torino on studying the Resistive Silicon Detectors (RSDs), a novel type of ‘4D’ sensor. As a master’s student you will gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art silicon sensors. You will be studying new geometries, writing reconstruction software, and assisting with irradiation testing.

Thema:Development of an Ion Beam Monitor using HV-CMOS Chips
Zusammenfassung:In a joint project with IPE, we are developing a beam monitor for therapeutic ion beams. Our beam monitor is based on silicon sensor technology, while conventional beam monitors are constructed from wire chambers and ionization chambers. The new technology comes with new challenges, including the readout concept, interconnection technology of a matrix of 13x13 chips and thermal management at minimal mass. In this thesis, concepts are developed and tested to meet these high requirements. Subsequently, you will participate in laboratory and beam tests.

Thema:Secondary Particle Tracking for Radiotherapy
Zusammenfassung:Carbon ion beam radiotherapy is a highly focused and efficient cancer treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to apply the radiation to the tumor precisely. Our partners at DKFZ have been developing a unique method to “see” the radiation dose distribution inside of the patient. It is based on nuclear fragments leaving the patient during the treatment. The Timepix detector technology developed at CERN is used to track such fragments. DKFZ has developed a clinical imaging system and the clinical study has been launched in 2023. In the Master's thesis you will design an own experiment using patient models, conduct the measurements at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center, evaluate the data and learn to interpret the results.
