Dr Bjorn Penning (University of Chicago (US))03/05/2012, 09:30Applications of intelligent detectorsSelecting interesting events with triggering is very challenging at the LHC due to the busy hadronic environment. Starting in 2014 the LHC will run with an energy of 14TeV and instantaneous luminosities which could exceed 10^34 interactions per cm^2 per second. The triggering in the ATLAS detector is realized using a three level trigger approach, in which the first level (L1) is hardware based...Go to contribution page

Gaelle Boudoul (Universite Claude Bernard-Lyon I (FR))03/05/2012, 10:00Applications of intelligent detectorsExperience at high luminosity hadrons collider experiments shows that tracking information enhances the trigger rejection capabilities while retaining high efficiency for interesting physics events. The design of a tracking based trigger for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is an extremely challenging task, and requires the identification of high-momentum particle tracks as a part of the Level...Go to contribution page

Marina Artuso (Syracuse University (US))03/05/2012, 10:30Applications of intelligent detectorsThe LHCb experiment is making strong strides towards the exploitation of physics opportunities that may lead to the discovery and elucidation of physics beyond the Standard Model. While LHCb will be able to measure many interesting channels in the upcoming few years, an upgrade aimed at increasing its sensitivity by about a factor of 10 will broaden the discovery potential of the experiment....Go to contribution page

Dr Nigel Hessey (NIKHEF (NL))03/05/2012, 11:30Applications of intelligent detectorsThe combination of gaseous detectors with pixel readout chips gives unprecedented hit resolution (improving from O(100 um) for wire chambers to 10 um), as well as high-rate capability, low radiation length and giving in addition angular information on the local track. These devices measure individually every electron liberated by the passage of a charged particle, leading to a large quantity...Go to contribution page

David Wardrope (University College London (UK))03/05/2012, 12:00Applications of intelligent detectorsThe planned high luminosity upgrade for the LHC (SLHC), will increase the collision rate in the ATLAS detector by approximately a factor 5 beyond the present LHC design goal, while also increasing the number of pile-up collisions in each event by a similar factor. This means that the level-1 trigger must achieve a higher rejection factor in a more difficult environment. We describe a...Go to contribution page

Dr Tomasz Szumlak (Glasgow University)03/05/2012, 12:30Applications of intelligent detectorsThe LHCb experiment is dedicated to the search for new physics signatures in beauty and charm decays. The selection of interesting signal events requires accurate measurements of decay lifetimes and reconstruction of complex vertex topologies. The VErtex LOcator (VELO) has been designed to fulfill these functions, by providing tracking information close to the proton-proton collision...Go to contribution page

Emmanuele Salvati (Cornell University (US))03/05/2012, 14:30The upgrade of the LHC machine is planned to deliver luminosities 5 to 10 times larger than the design one of 1e34 cm-2s-1. A novel tracking system for the CMS experiment must be designed and built. One main aspect of the current activities consists in understanding the capabilities that different designs such a tracker would have to provide for the Level 1 hardware trigger to complement...Go to contribution page

Duccio Abbaneo (CERN)03/05/2012, 15:00Coupled sensors and monolithic architecturesThe capability of performing quick recognition of particles with high transverse momentum (more than a few GeV/c) in the inner tracker is deemed essential to keep the CMS trigger rate at an acceptable level at a higher luminosity LHC (L > 10^34 cm-2 s-1). We present an architecture for a novel tracking module based on a combination of a pixelated sensor with a short strip sensor that would...Go to contribution page

Nahema Marino, Nahema Marino, Dr nahema marino (university and INFN pisa)03/05/2012, 15:30The design of a positron emission tomography (PET)detection module capable of working inside a magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) system is the main objective of the INFN 4D-MPET project. Simultaneous PET/MRI technology offers better soft tissue contrast and lower radiation doses by providing both functional and morphological information at the same time. The detector will be based on Silicon...Go to contribution page
