Optical fibre link to assist in ultra-high precision spectroscopy of antihydrogen

Figure 1: Atoms in this part of the Cs fountain clock are trapped and laser cooled in preparation of their vertical launch. Experiments at CERN’s Antimatter Factory test fundamental principles such as CPT invariance by studying the properties and…

Theory and practice join at the DRD1 Gaseous Detectors School

How do wire-based detectors compare to Resistive Plate Chambers? What are the performances of MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors? Which gas mixtures should be chosen for optimised operation? How will detectors face the challenges of future, more…

Third DAQ@LHC workshop

After a (too) long hiatus the LHC DAQ teams found themselves together for three days in the beautiful and study-friendly atmosphere of Chateau de Bossey to discuss experiences in Run3, plans for the post-LS3 systems and technological developments…

Development of Radiation Tolerant Silicon Detectors for the LHC and HL-LHC

Introduction The potential of semiconductor-based detectors for particle detection in nuclear and high-energy physics (HEP) has been identified as early as 1960. However, it took two more decades of development to transform these detectors into…

Characterization, modelling and radiation hardening of silicon-detectors for future experiments.

The Strategic R&D Programme on Technologies for Future Experiments of the EP Department (EP R&D) develops the detector technologies needed for the next generation of High Energy Physics experiments and recently concluded phase I (2020-2023)…

Unveiling the Hidden Foes: Tackling Aging Phenomena in Gaseous Detectors

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN smashes particles together at record-breaking energies and intensities, unlocking the secrets of our universe. But lurking beneath the excitement of groundbreaking discoveries lies a constant battle against…

Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from particle detection systems at CERN: status and perspectives.

At CERN experiments, some particle detector systems are operated with gas mixtures containing fluorinated gases. These gases are essential for achieving the specific detector performance required for data taking (e.g., long-term stability, time…
