Abstract

The paper presents the research activities in microelectronics, aiming at improving detection capabilities of future High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. The output of this research will be the development of novel integrated circuits, to enhance the performance of electronic systems for the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In particular, the main research activities are focused on monolithic pixel arrays, on new digital architectures for pixel readout in 65 nm CMOS, and on associative memories for several interdisciplinary applications, such as fast tracking for trigger, DNA sequencing, magnetic resonance and image analysis.
