Single event effects in the HCCStar ASICs for ITk strip upgrade

Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) technology has been implemented in the design of the HCCStar to reduce digital state changes and ensure reliable operation. We tested the effectiveness of the protection by placing HCCStar chips in a proton beam. We studied corrected bit flips in registers and actual single event effects in the LCB and LP paths under different proton energies. Our estimate is that the LP data-loss fraction relative to the 400 kHz readout is $O(10^{-10})$ during normal operation and there will be $O(10)$ corrected bit flips per HCCStar bit per year at the HL-LHC.

The C-Band All-Sky Survey: Instrument design, status, and first-look data

The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) aims to produce sensitive, all-sky maps of diffuse Galactic emission at 5 GHz in total intensity and linear polarization. These maps will be used (with other surveys) to separate the several astrophysical components contributing to microwave emission, and in particular will allow an accurate map of synchrotron emission to be produced for the subtraction of foregrounds from measurements of the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background. We describe the design of the analog instrument, the optics of our 6.1 m dish at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, the status of observations, and first-look data.

ISIS2: Pixel Sensor with Local Charge Storage for ILC Vertex Detector

ISIS (In-situ Storage Imaging Sensor) is a novel CMOS sensor with multiple charge storage capability developed for the ILC vertex detector by the Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration. This paper reports test results for ISIS2, the second generation of ISIS sensors implemented in a 0.18 micron CMOS process. The local charge storage and charge transfer were unambiguously demonstrated.
