In hadron collider experiments, triggering the detector to store interesting events for offline analysis is a challenge due to the high rates and multiplicities of particles produced. The LHC will soon operate at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and at high instantaneous luminosities of the order of 10^34 to 10^35 / cm^2 / second. A multi-level trigger strategy is used in ATLAS, with the...

Identification of jets originating from b quarks (b-tagging) will likely continue to be a key element of many physics analyses at the upgraded HL-LHC where much higher pileup can significantly reduce the performance. An upgrade of the CMS pixel detector proposed for the Phase 1 HL-LHC should enable CMS to maintain the current level of b-tagging performance even in the presence of very high...

Over the course of the last decade, the Belle detector at the KEKB collider has collected over 1 ab^{-1} of integrated luminosity, allowing for a number of precision measurements of the Standard Model, including confirmation of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism of CP violation. In June of 2010, KEKB and Belle were shut down to begin upgrading both the accelerator and detector. The increased...

The ATLAS experiment is building an "Insertable B-Layer" (IBL) pixel detector to be installed on a replacement beam pipe in 2013. This detector is using the new FE-I4 pixel readout chip recently developed. The IBL will fit inside and not alter the existing ATLAS pixel detector. However, the possibility is being studied to replace the pixel whole detector in 2017 with a lower mass, higher...

Hybrid silicon pixel detectors are currently used in the innermost tracking system of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. Radiation tolerance up to fluences expected for a few years of running of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has already been proved, although some degradation of the part of the silicon detector closer to the interaction point is expected. During the LHC upgrade phases,...

Studies carried out in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, have demonstrated the power of a pixel vertex detector in physics investigations at a future high energy linear collider. At one time, silicon CCDโs (Charged Coupled Devices) seemed like the detector elements of choice for vertex detectors for future Linear e+ e- Colliders. However, with the decision for a cold TESLA-like superconducting...

The readout systems for the ATLAS silicon trackers and liquid argon calorimeters utilize vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes to communicate between on and off detector readout components. A number of these VCSEL devices have ceased to function well before their expected lifetime. We summarize the failure history and present what has been learned so far about the possible...

The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) is a high resolution, fine grained calorimeter devised to measure photons and electrons at the LHC. Built of lead tungstate crystals, it plays a crucial role in the search for new physics as well as in precision measurements of the Standard Model. A pre-shower detector composed of sandwiches of lead and silicon strips improves pi-0/gamma separation in...

The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is the outermost of the three sub-systems of the ATLAS Inner Detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In addition to its tracking capabilities, the TRT provides particle identification (PID) ability through the detection of transition radiation X-ray photons. The latter functionality provides substantial discriminating power between electrons...

The ATLAS muon spectrometer is designed to measure muon momenta with a resolution of 4% @ 100 GeV/c rising to 10% @ 1 TeV/c track momentum. The spectrometer consists of precision tracking and trigger chambers embedded in a 2T magnetic field generated by three large air-core superconducting toroids. The precision detectors provide 50 micron tracking resolution to a pseudo-rapidity of 2.7. The...

In order to exploit fully the physics potential of future lepton
colliders, highly precise tracking systems will be needed, for which
systematic alignment uncertainties must be small. We describe
ongoing R&D in frequency scanned interferometry (FSI) to be applied
to alignment monitoring of a detector's charged particle tracking
system, in addition to its beam pipe and final-focus...

The present Compact Muon Solenoid silicon pixel tracking system has been designed for a peak luminosity of $10^{34}~\textrm{cm}^{-2} \textrm{s}^{-1}$ and total dose corresponding to two years of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operation. With the steady increase of the luminosity expected at the LHC, a new pixel detector with four barrel layers and three endcap disks is being designed. We will...
