Pixel sensors will face new challenges to provide the enhanced performances required by the next generation of ground and space astronomical observatories. Dedicated pixel CMOS sensors are now competing with the traditional CCD designs, offering opportunities for new readout methods. On the other hand, the study of CCD sensor characteristics allows to reach the precision required by surveys...

For decades, silicon microstrip detectors have been the preferred technology for tracking particles in space, allowing the realisation and operation of successful missions as AMS-02 and FERMI LAT, which are providing remarkable scientific results. However, the next generation of experiments aims to push our understanding even further, and will require significant improvements in tracking...

Low-light imaging applications, such as astronomy or microscopy, require low-noise image sensors. Noise levels far below 1 $e^-_{rms}$ are pursued. Single-photon detection is considered the holy grail of image sensing.
Existing imaging technologies capable of detecting and resolving individual photons like Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT), Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD), and Electron...

High voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) sensors are novel monolithic CMOS active pixel sensors designed for future particle tracking detectors satisfying exceptional performance requirements. These sensors have the advantages of a fully monolithic structure, low manufacturing cost, low material budget, fast charge collection, and high radiation tolerance. Derived from ATLASPix3 (for High-Luminosity Large...

Abstract- Experiments that study charged cosmic rays in space combine a tracker and calorimeter to measure the charge magnitude, the energy, and the momentum of the incoming particles. However, secondary particles created in the calorimeter and entering the tracker will degrade the reconstruction capability of the instrument. Most of the tracker systems in these experiments use micro-strip...
