The effort to address the remaining open questions of the Standard Model lies at the core of the HL-LHC physics programme and informs current design studies for post-LHC colliders (CLIC, FCC-ee, FCC-hh) as well as new fixed target experiments…
Read moreDesigning detectors to meet the physics requirements of future high-energy experiments calls for a strong R&D program on new detector-systems. This includes sensors technologies, fast and efficient electronics, mechanics and cooling techniques…
Read moreThe ATLAS and CMS experiments physics programme at the HL-LHC will target a very wide range of measurements, including in-depth studies of the Higgs boson properties and direct searches for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). Timing detectors…
Read moreThe RD53 collaboration has developed over the last five years the foundations to make the extremely challenging pixel detector chips for the Phase-II pixel upgrades of ATLAS and CMS. A large-scale demonstrator chip, called RD53A, was produced last…
Read moreThe EP-DT group has published its Annual Report where key activities throughout 2017 are summarized and a description is given of how the group is organized and interacts with the detector physics community. The Detector Technologies group…
Read moreDetector and accelerator developers need irradiation facilities to test their components under conditions that are as close as possible to real applications, as well as to predict and prevent failures in materials. The foreseen high-luminosity…
Read moreToday, about 30 gas systems are used to deliver the right gas mixture to the corresponding gaseous detectors at the LHC experiments. The detector gas mixture is the sensitive medium where the charge multiplication produces the signal that is then…
Read moreRADECS (RADiation Effects on Components and Systems) is the yearly European conference gathering world-class scientists in the field of radiation effects in electronics devices and systems. This year the conference has been organised by the…
Read moreThe Magnet Safety System (MSS) is a critical system that ensures the safety of experimental magnets, both warm and superconducting. It was developed within EP-DT for the LHC experiments, starting at the end of the 90’s, in the framework of the…
Read moreExperimental particle physics at the energy frontier has been performed with colliding beam accelerators and particle detectors. Superconducting magnets for these detectors and for physics experiments including astroparticle physics have much…
