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...
