Development of CMOS Pixel Sensors fully adapted to the ILD Vertex Detector Requirements
CMOS Pixel Sensors are making steady progress towards the specifications of
the ILD vertex detector. Recent developments are summarised, which show that
these devices are close to comply with all major requirements, in particular
the read-out speed needed to cope with the beam related background. This
achievement is grounded on the double- sided ladder concept, which allows
combining signals generated by a single particle in two different sensors, one
devoted to spatial resolution and the other to time stamp, both assembled on
the same mechanical support. The status of the development is overviewed as
well as the plans to finalise it using an advanced CMOS process.Comment: 2011 International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS11),

Joint Observation of the Galactic Center with MAGIC and CTA-LST-1
MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), designed to detect very-high-energy gamma rays, and is operating in stereoscopic mode since 2009 at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos in La Palma, Spain. In 2018, the prototype IACT of the Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) for the Cherenkov Telescope Array, a next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory, was inaugurated at the same site, at a distance of approximately 100 meters from the MAGIC telescopes. Using joint observations between MAGIC and LST-1, we developed a dedicated analysis pipeline and established the threefold telescope system via software, achieving the highest sensitivity in the northern hemisphere. Based on this enhanced performance, MAGIC and LST-1 have been jointly and regularly observing the Galactic Center, a region of paramount importance and complexity for IACTs. In particular, the gamma-ray emission from the dynamical center of the Milky Way is under debate. Although previous measurements suggested that a supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* plays a primary role, its radiation mechanism remains unclear, mainly due to limited angular resolution and sensitivity. The enhanced sensitivity in our novel approach is thus expected to provide new insights into the question. We here present the current status of the data analysis for the Galactic Center joint MAGIC and LST-1 observations

Développement d'un détecteur de vertex de nouvelle génération pour le collisionneur ILC : impact sur la détermination des rapports d'embranchement du boson de Higgs standard
This thesis is a contribution to the " Detector Baseline Document ", describing the ILD detector which is intendedfor the International Linear Collider (ILC).The physics goals of the ILD call for a vertex detector (VXD) particularly light, rapid and very granular allowing toreach an unprecedented resolution on the impact parameter of the tracks that reconstruct the particles producedin the studied interactions. The principle goal of this thesis is to show how to optimise the parameters of the VXDin the case that is composed of Active Pixel Sensors manufactured in industrial CMOS technology (CAPS). Thiswork has been realised by studying the sensitivity of the performance of the heavy flavour tagging and theprecision on the hadronic branching fractions of the Higgs boson as a function of different sets of VXDparameters.The specifications of the VXD, particularly ambitious, call for the development of a novel silicon pixel sensorstechnology, the CAPS, which was pioneered by the PICSEL group of IPHC. The readout speed and the influenceof the fabrication parameters have been studied in this thesis, and CAPS prototypes have been characterised intest beams. Finally, the tracking performance of a CAPS based VXD has been evaluated with simulation studies.Cette thèse est une contribution au document intitulé "Detector Baseline Document (DBD)" décrivant le conceptde détecteur ILD envisagé auprès du collisionneur linéaire international électron-positon ILC (acronyme del'anglais International Linear Collider).Les objectifs de physique de l'ILD nécessitent un détecteur de vertex (VXD) particulièrement léger, rapide et trèsgranulaire permettant d'atteindre une résolution sans précédent sur le paramètre d'impact des trajectoiresreconstruites des particules produites dans les interactions étudiées. Le principal objectif de cette thèse est demontrer comment optimiser les paramètres du VXD dans le cas ou il est composé de Capteurs à Pixels Actifsfabriqués en technologie industrielle CMOS (CAPS). Ce travail a été réalisé en étudiant la sensibilité desperformances d'étiquetage des saveurs lourdes et de la précision sur les rapports d'embranchement hadroniquedu boson de Higgs aux différents paramètres du VXD.Le cahier des charges du VXD, particulièrement ambitieux, a nécessité le développement d'une nouvelletechnologie de capteurs de pixels de silicium, les CAPS, dont le groupe PICSEL de l'IPHC est à l'origine. Lavitesse de lecture et l'influence des paramètres qui régissent la fabrication des capteurs en fonderie ont étéétudiées dans cette thèse, et des prototypesde CAPS ont été caractérisés sur faisceau de particules. Enfin, les performances de trajectométrie d'un VXDcomposé de CAPS a été évalué avec des études de simulation
