The Semi-Conductor Tracker (SCT), is a silicon strip detector and one of the key precision tracking devices in the Inner Detector of the ATLAS experiment at CERN LHC.
The SCT is constructed of 4088 silicon detector modules for a total of 6.3 million strips. Each module is designed, constructed and tested to operate as a stand-alone unit, mechanically, electrically, optically and thermally....

The CMS tracker is the largest of its kind built to date. It has an
active area in excess of 200m2 of silicon, which provides high precision
measurement points for track reconstruction. In order to use the data
from the silicon strip and pixel systems to reconstruct charged
particle trajectories as well as primary and secondary vertices,
multi-step calibration procedures including module...

The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost detector of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, providing high-resolution measurements of charged particle tracks in the high radiation environment close to the collision region. This capability is vital for the identification and measurement of proper decay times of long-lived particles such as b-hadrons, and thus vital for the...

The LHCb detector has been optimized for the search for New Physics in
CP violating observables and rare heavy-quark decays at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC). The detector is a single arm forward
spectrometer with excellent tracking and particle identification
capabilities. The LHCb Silicon Tracker is constructed from silicon
micro-strip detectors with long readout strips. It consists of...

LHCb is a dedicated experiment to study new physics in the decays of beauty and charm hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The beauty and charm hadrons are identified through their flight distance in the Vertex Locator (VELO), and hence the detector is critical for both the trigger and offline physics analyses. The VELO is the highest resolution vertex detector at the LHC.
The...

The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is general purpose experiment optimized for the study of heavy-ion collisions at the CERN LHC. The physics programme includes proton-proton collisions for reference data and also for genuine physics topics for which ALICE is complementary to the other LHC experiments.
The ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS) is the innermost tracking detector of ALICE...
