Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) are silicon sensors that feature internal charge gain. These sensors were initially developed to provide the time information of tracks at high luminosity colliders, with performances reaching single hit time resolutions of a few tens of picoseconds for minimum ionizing particles. These timing capabilities can find applications in spaceborne experiments like: particle identification through time of flight, distinction between incoming and outgoing particles, identification of splash back and punch through of showers in the calorimeter systems, identification of electromagnetic and hadronic showers by observation of the splash back and punch through from calorimeters. A first production of LGADs dedicated to space applications was completed at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) and is currently being characterized. The activities of this position will be focused on completing the characterization of this first batch, and on the qualification tests to determine whether the LGAD sensors are flight-ready. The sensor characterization will be mainly performed in the laboratories of University of Trento and FBK. The lessons learned in the sensor characterization and qualification will be reflected in the design of future sensors dedicated to spaceborne experiments. Within the timeframe of this position, a second batch of LGADs for space will be produced and characterized.
