Detectors Upgrade
Intelligent Design for Particle Detectors
Particle detectors are becoming ubiquitous: originally designed as tools for fundamental physics (collider physics experiments, neutrino observatories, etc.), they are also increasingly used in medical and industrial applications. For all use cases…

A High-Granularity Timing Detector for the ATLAS Phase-II Upgrade
A High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) using Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGAD) silicon sensors is being constructed for the ATLAS phase-II upgrade program as a powerful way to address the challenges of the High-Luminosity LHC program [1]. The goal…

The upgraded ALICE TPC
The ALICE time projection chamber (TPC) is a big, gas-filled cylinder (with a hole in the centre to accommodate the silicon tracker), where the charge produced by ionising radiation is projected onto detectors arranged in the two endplates.…
