Test beam results obtained with 3D pixel sensors bump-bonded to the RD53A prototype readout ASIC are reported. Sensors from FBK Italy and IMB-CNM (Spain) have been tested before and after ...proton-irradiation to an equivalent fluence of about 1 × 1016≠cm-2 (1MeV equivalent neutrons). This is the first time that one single collecting electrode fine pitch 3D sensors are irradiated up to such fluence bump-bonded to a fine pitch ASIC. The preliminary analysis of the collected data shows no degradation on the hit detection efficiencies of the tested sensors after high energy proton irradiation, demonstrating the excellent radiation tolerance of the 3D pixel sensors. Thus, they will be excellent candidates for the extreme radiation environment at the innermost layers of the HL-LHC experiments.
Results of an extensive R&D program aiming at radiation hard, small pitch, 3D pixel sensors are reported. The CMS experiment is supporting this R&D in the scope of the Inner Tracker upgrade for the ...High Luminosity phase of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In the HL-LHC the Inner Tracker will have to withstand an integrated fluence up to 2.3×1016neq/cm2. A small number of 3D sensors were interconnected with the RD53A readout chip, which is the first prototype of 65 nm CMOS pixel readout chip designed for the HL-LHC pixel trackers. In this paper results obtained in beam tests before and after irradiation are reported. The irradiation of a single chip module was performed up to a maximum equivalent fluence of about 1×1016neq/cm2. The analysis of the collected data shows excellent performance: the spatial resolution in not irradiated sensors can reach about 3 to 5 μm, for inclined tracks, depending on the pixel pitch. The measured hit detection efficiencies are close to 99% measured both before and after the above mentioned irradiation fluence.

The INFN ATLAS-CMS joint research activity, in collaboration with Fondazione Bruno Kessler, is aiming at the development of thin n+ on p type pixel sensors to be operated at the HL-LHC.

First prototypes of hybrid modules, bump-bonded to the present CMS readout chips (PSI46 digital), have been characterized in beam tests.
