The Belle II experiment is an upcoming experiment based on the SuperKEKB e+e- collider, which will provide almost two orders of magnitude higher instantaneous luminosity than the KEKB e+e- collider. We aim to measure precisely the parameters of the Standard Model and search for physics beyond the Standard Model. We report here on the time-of-propagation (``TOP'') detector, which plays an...

We will present overview of Aerogel Ring Imaging CHerenkov counter (ARICH) which is developed as a particle identification detector in next generationB-factory experiment, the Belle II. The ARICH consists of aerogel radiator and photo sensor. When charged particle goes through the radiator, it emits Cherenkov light to the direction which depends on the particle mass. Using this dependance, we...

The FDIRC (Focusing Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) is a charged particle identification (PID) detector which separates efficiently kaons from pions up to a few GeV/c. It is the successor of the BaBar DIRC, which was successfully operated at the PEP-II B-Factory during a decade, and benefits from the knowledge accumulated with a first focusing DIRC prototype, built and...

Simultaneous detection of the Cherenkov light and
scintillation light produced in hadron showers makes it possible to measure the electromagnetic shower fraction event by event and thus eliminate the detrimental effects of fluctuations in this fraction on the performance of hadron calorimeters.
In the RD52 (DREAM) project, the possibilities of this dual-readout calorimetry are investigated...

The design of calorimeter systems for a detector at a future Linear Collider
(ILC, CLIC) is largely driven by the requirements of jet reconstruction. The
particle flow technique has been shown to be capable of achieving an energy
resolution ~30%/sqrtE, permitting the discrimination of W and Z bosons in their
hadronic decays. Such performance requires the separation of neutral...

State-of-the-art particle physics detectors at colliders contain a pixel detector as heart of their particle tracker to cope with the large density of particle tracks near the interaction point. For radiation damage reasons, mostly hybrid detectors were used which comprise a silicon pixel sensor fabricated on high-resistivity FZ silicon and a bump-bonded readout chip in deep sub-micron...

the LHC. The rate of proton-proton collisions at the LHC is 15 MHz, of which
only 5 kHz can be written to storage for offline analytsis. For this reason the
