Description
CMOS pixel sensors of the MIMOSA series are being developed since several years for reconstructing displaced vertices, precisely enough to identify heavy hadrons by measuring the displacement of their decay vertex. This problematic is particularly crucial for the physics program envisaged at the ILC, for example, in the study of the Higgs boson's properties, which in the Standard Model is expected to decay mostly in heavy quarks and bosons.
The talk will review the performances achieved with CMOS pixel sensors and discuss their application to future vertex detectors. Promising technologies (high res, 3D IT) will also be highligthed, in view of their impact on the sensors' performances.
