A Silicon Detector is a type of sensor that uses silicon to detect and measure particles, such as photons or charged particles. These detectors are widely used in various fields, including particle physics, medical imaging, and radiation monitoring. They work by converting incoming particles into electrical signals, which can then be analyzed for information. Silicon detectors are known for their high resolution and efficiency, making them ideal for applications like high-energy physics experiments at facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider. They are also used in cameras and X-ray machines, contributing to advancements in both scientific research and medical diagnostics.
