Manoj Jadhav

Dr. Jadhav works in an ATLAS Group in the High Energy Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Jadhav joined Argonne in 2018 and was involved in developing ultra-fast silicon detectors. Dr. Jadhav received his Ph.D. in 2018 from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India. During his Ph.D., Dr. Jadhav worked on the ​“Development of silicon particle detectors and D⁰-meson production as a function of event spherocity in pp collisions with ALICE at the LHC”. He developed a silicon sensor from a pristine wafer and tested it with the alpha particle source Am²⁴¹. Along with detector development, he studied the reconstruction of heavy-flavor mesons (D⁰) as a function of event multiplicity and event shapes in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Event shape variables help isolate jetty-like (high p_T jets) and isotropic events and describe the structure of hadronic events and their energy flow properties. 

Currently, Dr. Jadhav works on different projects, including ITkPix Module production for Inner Tracker for the ATLAS experiment at CERN, CMOS MAPS detector development for ground and Space applications, Thin film detector, etc. During his postdoc at Argonne, he worked on ultra-fast silicon detectors (UFSD) based on the Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD).  Dr. Jadhav is also involved in the characterization and testing of the CMOS silicon sensors developed for the Astroparticle telescope, AMEGO-X, at NASA. These CMOS silicon pixels are called AstroPix and read out through FPGA-programmed GECCO DAQ testing boards.
