Hot or Not? Power dissipation in analog front end electronics for 2D detectors
| Abstract: |
Area-based detectors have become important in charged particle tracking, imaging, and spectroscopy. With advances in detector technology both pixel density and information generation rates have increased. Up to now, CMOS electronics has been able to match the demands imposed by highly-segmented detectors. This talk will explore the limits of CMOS technology to continue this trend as detectors approach 10^8 pixels per cm^2, or information rates of 10^9 bits/s/cm2.
