Exciting weeks at the test beam! Graphite bridges, sped up data taking, freezing temperatures for our pixel modules and a lot of clever hacking.
Nothing could stop us in our quest to determine the spatial resolution of the next generation of hybrid pixel detectors for CMS!

First testbeam of the year

Last week we had our first testbeam of the year. This time, we took data in area T24 of the DESY II test beam facility to test Low Gain Avalanch Diodes (LGADs) at different voltages and under different beam incidence angles.
