Polar ring galaxies are peculiar systems in which a gas-rich, nearly polar ring surrounds an
early-type or elliptical host galaxy. Two formation scenarios for these objects have been …

CVD diamond shows promising properties for use as a position-sensitive detector for
experiments in the highest radiation areas at the Large Hadron Collider. In order to study the …

Diamond radiation sensors produced by chemical vapour deposition are studied for the
application as tracking detectors in high luminosity experiments. Sensors with a charge …

We consider the heat equation with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient and give
uniqueness and stability results for both the diffusion coefficient and the initial condition from …

The need for ultra-radiation hard semiconductor detectors for the inner tracker regions in
high energy physics experiments of the future generation can be satisfied either with …

CVD diamond is an attractive material option for LHC vertex detectors mainly because of its
strong radiation-hardness causal to its large band gap and strong lattice. In particular, pixel …

This thesis describes recent research aimed at developing chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
diamonds for charged particle detection and tracking. Radiation hardness is required for …

Diamond sensors provide a promising radiation hard solution to the challenges posed by
the future experiments at hadron machines. A 3D geometry with thin columnar resistive …

Diamond is a material with a set of very unique characteristics. It is mainly known as a gem,
but also for its hardness. There is a third property that is not so well known; diamond shows …

To detect tracks of charged particles close to the interaction point in high energy physics
experiments of the next generation colliders, hybrid pixel detectors, in which sensor and …
