While B factories were built to check whether the Standard Model with the CKM matrix offers a correct description of CP violation,
the next generation of B factories (so called super B factories) will look for departures from the Standard Model. For such a study, a 50 times larger data sample is needed, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 50 ab^-1. To achieve the necessary increase...

PANDA is a 4π detector designed for studies of reactions induced by antiproton beams on hydrogen as well as on nuclear targets at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt, Germany.
Application of high intensity, phase space cooled antiproton beams with momentum in the range 1.5 to 15 GeV/c will make it possible to conduct high precision measurements in the field...

The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for New Physics using the enormous flux of beauty and charmed hadrons produced at the LHC.
The LHCb detector is a single-arm spectrometer with excellent tracking
and particle identification capabilities. The operation and the results obtained from the data collected in 2010 demonstrate that...

The ALICE experiment is optimized for heavy ion collisions and takes data in proton-proton collisions to obtain comparison data and to study specific measurements exploiting particular detector features like the low pT cut-off and the particle identification capabilities. The LHC shutdown foreseen for 2017/18 will allow to address the upgrade of several sub-detectors, in especial the inner...

The ATLAS experiment has made a successful start of its operation and is producing many physics results, demonstrating its excellent performance. The LHC is progressively increasing luminosity, and will continue a series of phased upgrades. In a few years, the nominal energy and luminosity will be attained. There is a plan of further increasing the luminosity beyond the design value up...

An overview of the CMS upgrade plans will be presented. A brief status
of the CMS detector will be given, covering some of the issues we have
so far experienced. This will be followed by an overview of the various
CMS upgrades planned, covering the main motivations for them, and the
various R&D efforts for the possibilities under study. Finally a possible
upgrade schedule will be presented.

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is one of the two largest and most powerful particle physics detectors ever built. CMS is installed in P5 at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and as of early 2011 has completed nearly a year of operation in which it recorded products of interactions produced in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV.
The proton-proton run 2010...

The ATLAS Muon Spectrometer is designed to measure the momentum of a 1 TeV/c muon to an accuracy of 10%. A muon of this momentum will bend less than 500 microns in the toroidal field of ATLAS; therefore, the position of the muon chambers must be known to an accuracy of less than 50 microns. ATLAS uses a combination of two methods in order to achieve such a precise alignment: an optical system...

After briefly explaining the need for a precise muon chamber alignment, the different muon alignment systems implemented at CMS are described.
Due to the tight spatial confinement and challenging large radiation and high magnetic field environment, unique alignment systems had to be developed that handle separately the Barrel and the Endcap regions. A third subsystem, called Link, connects...

The CMS Hadron Outer Calorimeter (HO) is undergoing an upgrade to replace the existing photodetectors (HPDs) with SIPMs. The chosen device is the Hamamatsu 3X3mm 50µm pitch MPPC. A system has been developed to be a “drop-in” replacement of the HPDs. A complete control system of bias voltage generation, leakage current monitoring, temperature monitoring, and temperature control using solid...

The Compact Linear Collider CLIC is designed to deliver e+e- collisions at a center of mass energy of up to 3 TeV. The detector systems at this collider have to provide highly efficient tracking and excellent jet energy resolution and hermeticity for multi-TeV final states with multiple jets and leptons. In addition, the detector systems have to be capable of distinguishing physics events from...

The impacts of machine and physics program on an e+e- machine from centre of mass energy going from Z peak to 1 TeV is described and how it leads to the ILD detector design. The choice of technologies for all sub-detectors will be given, and the consequence on the detector systems aspects presented, including...

Located at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, the Fermilab Test Beam Facility is a world-class facility devoted to particle detector R&D. The goal of the Fermilab Test Beam Program is to provide flexible, equal and open access to test beams for all detector tests, with relatively low bureaucratic overhead and a guarantee of safety, coordination and oversight.

Future detectors are envisioned with large granularity but we have a power delivery problem unless we fill the detector volume with copper conductors.
LHC detector electronics is powered by transporting direct current over distances of 30 to 150 meters. This is how Thomas Alva Edison lighted his light bulb. For example, CMS ECAL uses 50 kiloamps at 2.5 volts, supplied over a cable with a...

In the TeV-scale collider physics, many important final states include 6 or more jets where jet clustering is essential for the event reconstruction.
If many heavy-flavor jets are included in the final states such as Higgs bosons decaying into two b-quarks, the jets can be identified using the vertex information.
Our study with ILC detector full-MC simulation has shown a significant...

As the complexity and resolution of particle detectors increase,
the need for detailed simulation of the experimental setup also
increases. Designing experiments requires efficient tools to
simulate detector response and optimize the cost-benefit ratio
for design options. We have developed efficient and flexible
tools for detailed physics and detector response simulation which
builds...

Physics goals of a Muon Collider (MC) can only be reached with appropriate design of the ring, interaction region (IR), high-field superconducting magnets, machine-detector interface (MDI) and detector. All - under demanding requirements, arising from the short muon lifetime, relatively large values of the transverse
emittance and momentum spread, unprecedented dynamic heat loads (0.5-1 kW/m)...

A 1.5 TeV Muon Collider is currently being studied by the Muon Accelerator project. Experiments at the muon collider will need to cope with intense backgrounds from decays of the incoming beams. Initial physics and detector studies including muon decay backgrounds are now underway. We report on some of these studies utilizing a "toy" detector, including hit densities in the tracker and vertex...
