Detectors development for CT applications

Scope of the proposed thesis is to study a novel pixel detectors, specifically developed by the INFN collaboration ARCADIA, and characterize it in the detection of X-ray radiation. This sensor fully depletes a thickness up to 400 um which renders possible an higher efficiency of detection respect to standard silicon devices. The higher efficiency leads to the possibility of applying it in Computed Tomography systems, which are the mainstay of medical and industrial 3D imaging systems and are employed in the most divers applications range, from dental surgery to wood industry sawmills.
