Characterization of hybrid pixel detectors with capacitive charge division

In order to fully exploit the physics potential of the future high energy e+e− linear collider, a Vertex Tracker providing high resolution track reconstruction is required. Hybrid pixel sensors are an attractive technology due to their fast read-out capabilities and radiation hardness. A novel pixel detector layout with interleaved cells between the readout nodes has been developed to improve the single point resolution. The results of the characterization of the first processed prototypes are reported.
