Tracking detectors for the LHC upgrade
نویسنده
چکیده
The plans for an upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider LHC to the Super-LHC (sLHC) are reviewed with special consideration of the environment for the inner tracking system. A straw-man detector upgrade for ATLAS is presented, which is motivated by the varying radiation levels as a function of radius, and choices for detector geometries and technologies are discussed in the context of required signal-to-threshold ratios. r 2005 Elsevier B.V.

ATLAS Upgrade Plans for the SLHC
The proposed luminosity upgrade to the LHC imposes significant challenges on the LHC detectors: their design must function within a much harder radiation environment and yet preserve, if not improve, their ability to maximize the upgrade’s physics opportunities. In addition, they must be designed, constructed, and installed on a tight timescale in order to be ready for operation in 2016. For AT...
متن کاملSilicon Detectors for the Super LHC
The luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN to the Super LHC (sLHC) will increase the radiation dose at the experiments by roughly an order of magnitude. The elevated radiation levels require the LHC experiments to upgrade their tracking systems with extremely radiation hard detectors, capable of withstanding about a 1-MeV neutron-equivalent (neq) fluence of 1016 per squar...
متن کاملTracking and Alignment of the LHCb detector
The LHCb experiment is designed to study B-decays at the LHC. This purpose is achieved by means of an outstanding track momentum resolution and excellent particle identification. The performance of the detector exceeds expectations, and the physics program of the collaboration is extended to the study of charm decays, QCD and electroweak physics. Both tracking and alignment play a key role for ...

The design of the future High Energy Physics (HEP) particle detectors for the upgrade of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiments at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is pushing technological frontiers to the limit trying to reach unprecedented accuracy in particles identification and particle production dynamics in ultra-relativistic hadron collisions. The thermal management...
متن کاملPixel Detectors for Charged Particles
Pixel Detectors, as the current technology of choice for the innermost vertex detection, have reached a stage at which large detectors have been built for the LHC experiments and a new era of developments, both for hybrid and for monolithic or semi-monolithic pixel detectors is in full swing. This is largely driven by the requirements of the upgrade programme for the superLHC and by other colli...
