Oral

The LHC will start up in 2008 and ramp up in luminosity over 3 years to 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1. A series of machine upgrades will continue to increase this, eventually reaching 10^35 cm^-2 s^-1 around 2018. This talk summarises the physics possibilities that high luminosity will open up, and then describe the changes needed to ATLAS and CMS to meet the challenges of the high pile-up of overlapping...

152. CO2 cooling for HEP experiments

Mr Bart VERLAAT (NIKHEF)

Oral

The new generation silicon detectors in High Energy Physics (HEP) Experiments require more efficient cooling of the front-end electronics and the silicon sensors itself. To minimize reverse annealing, the silicon sensors must be cooled down to a temperature of about -5°C. Other important requirements of the new generation cooling systems are a low mass and a maintenance free operation of the...
