On May 30, 2013 CERN Council approved the Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. This was the final step of a process involving the whole European particle physics community as well as many colleagues from outside Europe. The presentation gives an overview of the numerous facilities and projects proposed to the strategy group before explaining the decisions and the rational...

Most modern particle physics experiments use silicon based sensors for their tracking systems. These sensors are able to detect particles generated in high energy collisions with high spatial resolution and therefore allow the precise reconstruction of particle tracks. So far only a few vendors were capable of producing silicon strip sensors with the quality needed in particle physics...

We propose to develop a fast, thin silicon sensor with gain capable to concurrently measure with high precision the space (~10 μm) and time (~10 ps) coordinates of a particle.
In collaboration with groups within RD50, we have measured charge multiplication with a gain of about 10, allowing to thin pixelated silicon sensors by at least a factor 10 by keeping the performance of thick...

This work introduce a new concept of silicon radiation detector with intrinsic multiplication of the charge called Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD). These new detectors are based on the standard Avalanche Photo Diodes (APD) normally used for optical and X-ray detection applications. The main difference to standard APD detectors is the low gain requested to detect high energy charged...

A novel on-chip, customer-design spiral biasing adaptor (SBA) has been developed at BNL. The SBA can be used for biasing a Si drift detector (SDD) and SDD array. The SBA concept has the following novel characteristics and advantages: 1) it is customer-design for any desired geometry of SDD single cell with minimum current and minimum drift time of carriers; 2) it has the spiral shaped ion-...

With the need for very radiation hard semiconductor devices for the High Luminosity upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider, new types of silicon pixel detectors have been proposed. Since 3D Si pixel detectors have been shown to be more radiation hard than the planar ones, scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have chosen to design a novel type of 3D Si pixel detectors. Systematic full 3D...

The upgrade of the LHC machine to deliver a significantly higher luminosity of about 5 x 10^34 cm^(-2)s^(-1) is planned to be operational after 2020. This will significantly increase the radiation dose of the inner detector systems, requiring new radiation hard sensor materials for the CMS Tracker. To identify the appropriate materials which are able to withstand the radiation environment in...
