The 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…
Read moreDT's 2018 annual report
The 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 moreA new database of irradiation facilities
Detector 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 moreA portable gas system for particle detectors.
Today, 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…
