Different applications of Low Gain Avalanche Detectors — •Felix Ulrich-Pur¹, Tetyana Galatyuk^1,2, Wilhelm Krüger², Sergey Linev¹, Jan Michel³, Jerzy Pietraszko¹, Adrian Rost⁴, Michael Traeger¹, Michael Traxler¹, and Christian Joachim Schmidt¹ — ¹GSI GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany — ²Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany — ³Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt, Germany — ⁴FAIR GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany

Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are fast silicon detectors especially designed for high-rate environments. Due to their high spatial granularity (≤ 100 µ m) and excellent intrinsic time resolution (≤ 100ps), LGADs allow the reconstruction of single particle tracks even at very high track densities.
Within this contribution, we will present several applications of LGAD strip sensors, which were produced at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK). This includes the reaction time (T0) detector for the High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany, a beam-structure monitor for the Superconducting Darmstadt LINear Accelerator (S-DLINAC) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt and an ion imaging experiment conducted at the MedAustron cancer therapy and research centre in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
After discussing first results, we will outline planned upgrades of the current systems and possible future projects at the GSI and FAIR facilities.
