Induced signals in particle detectors with resistive elements: Numerically modeling novel structures (VCI 2022)

Abstract

For detectors with resistive elements, the time dependence of the signals is not solely given by the movement of the charges in the drift medium but also by the time-dependent reaction of the resistive materials. In this report, we present a numerical way to capture this contribution by using the extended form of the Ramo–Shockley theorem for conductive media. As an example, the methodology will be applied to the MicroCAT two-dimensional interpolation readout to calculate the center of gravity position reconstruction distortion map of its readout cells.
