The LHCb experiment has been upgraded during the second long shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and the new detector is currently operating at the LHC. The Vertex Locator (VELO) surrounds the interaction region of the LHCb experiment, responsible of reconstructing the proton-proton collision (primary vertices) as well as the decay vertices of long-lived particles (secondary...
The CMS silicon tracking system consists of an inner part with hybrid pixel modules and an outer part with silicon micro-strips. The silicon trackers have been successfully taking data during LHC Run 1 and 2. During Long shutdown 2, the pixel detector underwent an extensive refurbishment program to address the problems encountered during Run 2. The DCDC converters which exhibited failures...
The tracking performance of the ATLAS detector relies critically on its 4-layer Pixel Detector. As the closest detector component to the interaction point, this detector is subjected to a significant amount of radiation over its lifetime. At present (in 2023 LHC proton-proton collision RUN3) ATLAS Pixel Detector on innermost layers, consisting of planar and 3D pixel sensors, operate after...
In June 2022 the data-taking of the Belle II experiment was stopped for the Long Shutdown 1, primarily required to install the new two-layer DEPFET detector (PXD) and upgrade components of the accelerator. In May 2023 the whole silicon tracker (VXD) was extracted from Belle II and the new VXD commissioning phase began to be ready to take data by the end of 2023. We describe the...
