With the first three years of the LHC running well underway, ATLAS and CMS are planning to upgrade their innermost tracking layers with more radiation hard technologies. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond is one such technology. CVD diamond has been used extensively in beam condition monitors as the innermost detectors in the highest radiation areas of BaBar, Belle, CDF and all LHC...

LHCb is a dedicated experiment to study New Physics in the decays of heavy hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Heavy hadrons are identified through their flight distance in the VELO, the retractable silicon-strip vertex detector surrounding the LHCb interaction point at only 7 mm from the beam during normal LHC operation.
Both VELO halves comprise 21 silicon micro-strip modules each....

The ATLAS experiment will upgrade its Pixel Detector with the installation of a new pixel layer in 2013-14. The new sub-detector, named Insertable B-layer (IBL), will be installed between the existing Pixel Detector and a new smaller radius beam-pipe at a radius of 3.3 cm.
To cope with the high radiation and pixel occupancy due to the proximity to the interaction point, a new read-out chip...

The first upgrade of the ATLAS Pixel Detector will consist in the installation of a new pixel layer during the shutdown of
the LHC machine in 2013. The new detector, called Insertable B-Layer (IBL), will be inserted between the existing Pixel Detector and a new (smaller radius) beam-pipe, at an average sensor radius of 3.4 cm. The IBL requires the development of several new technologies to...

Due to the successful performance of the IBL 3D sensors, the technology was selected for the ATLAS Forward Physics (AFP) project. The AFP presents a new challenge due to the need for a reduced dead area with respect to IBL, and the in-homogeneous nature of the radiation dose distribution in the sensor. Electrical characterization of the first CNM AFP prototypes and beam test studies of 3D...

We report about the characterization of silicon pixel modules employing n-in-p planar sensors with an active thickness of 150µm, produced at MPI/HLL, and 100µm with active edges, produced at VTT in Finland.
The thinned sensors are designed to reduce the signal degradation and ensure radiation hardness even after high fluences. Moreover the n-in-p technology only requires a single side...

The pixel detector at the heart of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC will be exposed to unprecedented radiation fluences, i.e. 1x1016 neq/cm2, at the high-luminosity LHC upgrade in 2020. Standard planar technology was shown to be unable to meet the CMS physics requirements at this high fluence regime. Ultra radiation-hard 3D technology is one of the most promising candidates for replacement...

One of the required features of tracking devices for the futures upgrades of LHC experiments will be a reduced thickness, in order to decrease the material budget and to achieve lower multiple scattering.
The main drawback related to a reduced sensor thickness is a decrease in the total sensing volume, which translates in a large reduction of the signal available for particle detection. To...
