Abstract

The conceptual design study of a Future Circular hadron-hadron Collider (FCC-hh) with a center-of-mass energy of the order of 100 TeV, assumed to be constructed in a new tunnel of 80-100 km circumference, includes the determination of the basic requirements for its detectors. A superconducting solenoid magnet of 12-m-diameter inner bore with the central magnetic flux density of 6 T, in combination with two superconducting dipole magnets and two conventional toroid magnets is proposed for an FCC-hh experimental setup. The coil of 23.468 m length has seven 3.35-m-long modules included into one cryostat. The steel yoke with a mass of 22.6 kt consists of two barrel layers of 0.5 m radial thickness and a 0.7-m-thick nose disk and four 0.6-m-thick end-cap disks each side. The outer diameter of the yoke is 17.7 m. The full length of the magnetic system is 62.6 m. The air gaps between the end-cap disks provide for the installation of the muon chambers up to an absolute pseudorapidity about 2.7. The superconducting dipole magnets provide measurement of charged particle momenta in the absolute pseudorapidity region greater than 3. The conventional forward muon spectrometer allows muon identification in the absolute pseudorapidity region from 2.7 to 5. The magnet is modeled with the program TOSCA from Cobham CTS Limited. The total current in the superconducting solenoid coil is 123 MA-turns; the stored energy is 41.8 GJ. The axial force acting on each end-cap is 450 MN. The stray field is 13.7 mT at a radius of 50 m from the coil axis, and 5.2 mT at a radius of 100 m. Many other parameters are presented and discussed.

TCAD + Allpi$\text{x}^2$ Simulation study of MALTA2, a Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor for future tracking

In this work, a hybrid simulation framework combining TCAD and Allpi$\text{x}^2$ is presented to investigate the sensor properties of MALTA2, a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor designed for future tracking. The study starts from 3D modeling and transient simulations in TCAD, with generic doping profiles and simple well structures. The resulting doping profiles and electric field are extracted and fed into Allpi$\text{x}^2$ for high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations in both DUT-only and full-telescope mode. Simulations reveal a strong dependence of sensor performance, specifically the detection efficiency and cluster size, on the doping concentration of the N-type blanket at the sensor surface. The doping concentration is then optimized by comparing simulations with measurement data. The active depth of the depleted region of the MALTA2 sensor is estimated in both simulations and measurements using a grazing angle method, in which the sensor is positioned at various inclinations relative to the beam, covering angles from 0 to 60 degrees. Excellent agreement on active depth is obtained with the optimal doping concentration, showing a deviation of 2\% from the measured value at a threshold of 450\,$\text{e}^-$. Consequently, the framework offers a generic toolkit for sensor studies without requiring proprietary information.

A compact fibre-coupled active beamstop for fast time-resolved monitoring of synchrotron X-ray beams

We have developed a compact fibre-coupled active beamstop for simultaneous interception and time-resolved monitoring of the direct X-ray beam in synchrotron diffraction experiments. The complete beamstop tip has a maximum transverse dimension of 1 mm and incorporates a 700 $μ$m-wide Ce:YAG scintillator. The scintillator converts the intercepted X-rays into visible light, which is transported through a multimode optical fibre to a silicon photodiode at the bottom of the blade that is connected to a dedicated fast amplifier electronics. Tests with a pulsed laser yielded a system decay time of 69.4 ns, consistent with reported luminescence decay times for Ce:YAG. Measurements at the P14.EH2 end station of PETRA III demonstrated the detection of individual bunch signals separated by 192 ns in the 40-bunch operating mode. The active beamstop also provided an in-situ timing signal for synchronising an experimental sequence with the approximately 190 $μ$s transmission window of a mechanical X-ray chopper. The device therefore combines a compact obstruction of the direct beam with fast monitoring of X-ray timing and flux during diffraction data acquisition.

Charge-Carrier transport simulations in diamond detectors with electric-field-dependent mobility and charge-collection-distance-based trapping

Diamond detectors are attractive for operation in harsh radiation environments because they combine radiation tolerance, fast signal formation, and low leakage current. Realistic detector-response simulations require an accurate description of charge-carrier mobility and trapping, which determine both signal amplitude and timing. In this work, we extend \allpix{}, a modular end-to-end detector simulation framework, with diamond-specific transport models. The implementation includes field-dependent mobility parameterizations for electrons and holes and an effective trapping model based on the charge collection distance (CCD), providing a detector-level interface to material quality and radiation-damage measurements. The mobility description is validated in the negligible-trapping limit using single-crystalline CVD diamond by comparing simulated drift velocities and transient-current signals with published reference data. For polycrystalline CVD diamond, the CCD-based trapping model is evaluated using experimentally measured CCD values and compared with laboratory transient-current-technique waveforms. The simulations reproduce the measured drift-velocity behavior in scCVD and the reduced charge collection and degraded transient response observed in pcCVD. The presented implementation enables detector-level studies of charge collection, pulse formation, and timing performance in diamond sensors using experimentally accessible transport and trapping parameters, and provides a practical framework for simulation-driven detector development and radiation-damage studies.
