We report on the operation and performance of the ATLAS Semi-Conductor Tracker (SCT), which has been functioning for 3 years in the high luminosity, high radiation environment of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The SCT is constructed of 4088 silicon detector modules, for a total of 6.3 million strips. Each module operates as a stand-alone unit, mechanically, electrically, optically and...

The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost detector of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The detector provides hermetic coverage with three cylindrical layers and three layers of forward and backward pixel detectors. It consists of approximately 80 million pixels that are individually read out via chips bump-bonded to 1744 n-in-n silicon substrates. In this talk,...

The upgrades for the ATLAS Pixel Detector will be staged in preparation for high luminosity LHC. The first upgrade for the Pixel Detector will be the construction of a new pixel layer which is currently under construction and will be installed during the first shutdown of the LHC machine, in 2013-14. The new detector, called the Insertable B-layer (IBL), will be installed between the existing...

During the first shutdown of the LHC collider in 2013/14, the Atlas experiment will be equipped with an innermost silicon layer, called IBL. Read-out electronics have been redesigned in order to accomplish the IBL performances. A new front end ASIC (FE-I4) has been designed as well as new off-detector devices. The latter are two 9U-VME cards called Back-Of-Crate and Read-Out Driver (ROD). The...

The CMS beam and radiation monitoring subsystem BCM1F (Fast Beam Conditions Monitor) consists of 8 individual diamond sensors situated around the beam pipe within the pixel detector volume, for the purpose of fast bunch-by-bunch monitoring of beam background and collision products. In addition, effort is ongoing to use BCM1F as an online luminosity monitor. BCM1F will be running whenever there...

The proposed Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) Particle Factory is a super charm factory based on colliding a 1-GeV electron beam against a 3.5 GeV positron beam. The Particle Factory (TAC-PF) detector will be constructed for the detection of the producing particles from this collision. The main components of the preliminary design of TAC-PF detector are: tracker (SiT), time of flight (ToF),...

The upgrade of the LHCb experiment, planned for 2018, will transform the entire readout to a triggerless system operating at 40 MHz. All data reduction algorithms will be executed in a high level software farm, with access to all event information. This will enable the detector to run at luminosities of 1-2 x10^33 /cm^2 /s and explore New Physics effects in the beauty and charm sector with...

We have tested the performance of two types of the latest Multi-Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs; measuring 3 x 3 mm^2 in size) developed by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. The new S12572-050C is a successor to the S10362-33-050C (i.e., conventional 3 x 3-mm^2 pixel MPPC of 50-μm pitch), comprises 3,600 Geiger mode avalanche photodiodes (APDs), and also features high gain (~ 1.25 x 10^6), a low dark...
