The MuPix Telescope: A Thin, High-Rate Tracking Telescope

Particle Tracking with a Thin Pixel Telescope

The anticipated ILC physics program indicates that identification of heavy fermions with high efficiency and purity is of primary importance. The requirements in terms of track extrapolation accuracy are ≃ 5 μm ⊕ 10 μm pt (GeV) . The Vertex Tracker design and the sensor R&D is driven by this requirement. CMOS pixel sensors are an attractive option for the ILC Vertex Tracker. In particular, they...

Tracking and Vertexing with a Thin CMOS Pixel Beam Telescope

We present results of a study of charged particle track and vertex reconstruction with a beam telescope made of four layers of 50 μm-thin CMOS monolithic pixel sensors using the 120 GeV protons at the FNAL Meson Test Beam Facility. We compare our results to the performance requirements of a future ee linear collider in terms of particle track extrapolation and vertex reconstruction accuracies.

The IceCube High Energy Neutrino Telescope

The IceCube Neutrino Telescope, a huge Neutrino Telescope with 1 cubic km instrumented volume, starts construction in 2004. The project status and the expected sensitivity and performance for detecting high energy cosmic neutrinos are reported.

The High Energy Telescope for STEREO

The IMPACT investigation for the STEREO Mission includes a complement of Solar Energetic Particle instruments on each of the two STEREO spacecraft. Of these instruments, the High Energy Telescopes (HETs) provide the highest energy measurements. This paper describes the HETs in detail, including the scientific objectives, the sensors, the overall mechanical and electrical design, and the on-boar...
