Description
The Large Hadron Collider will soon enter its High-Luminosity (HL-LHC) phase, to cope with the foreseen high pileup environment (up to 200 pp interactions per bunch-crossing) the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is undergoing an extensive Phase 2 upgrade program. A novel precision timing detector, the Mip Timing Detector (MTD), will detect the passage of minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of ~30-40 ps at a rate of 2.5 Mhit/s per channel at the beginning of HL-LHC operation. The precise timing information from the MTD will reduce the effects of the high levels of pileup expected at the HL-LHC, bringing new capabilities to CMS. The MTD will be composed of an endcap timing layer (ETL), instrumented with low-gain avalanche diodes and a barrel timing layer (BTL), based on LYSO:Ce crystals coupled to SiPMs. This contribution will provide an overview of the MTD design and its expanded physics capabilities.
