ALICE 3 is the next-generation heavy-ion experiment at the LHC (CERN), designed to explore the quark-gluon plasma with unprecedented precision.
Its ultra-light, all-silicon tracker will consist of 66 m² of pixel sensors produced in CMOS technology. The outer layers of the tracking system (Outer Tracker) will use  Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) with slightly larger pixels than the vertex detector, in order to reduce power consumption and readout complexity. These new large-pitch sensors still must meet stringent requirements on efficiency, resolution, uniformity, and radiation hardness.

Our group offers a master thesis in this area of research. The student will characterize Analogue Pixel Test Sensors (APTS) with various pixel sizes, up to 50x50 μm2. The project will involve laboratory work and measurements at test beams at leading facilities world-wide, data analysis, and performance studies in close collaboration with R&D teams.
