In order to increase the discovery potential of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, the high-luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) is expected to deliver a total of 3000 fb^{-1}. The instantaneous luminosity will be increased by a factor of 5 compared to the LHC design luminosity. This results in an intensified radiation level and track density especially in the tracking systems,...

The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost detector of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. During Run-I, the detector provided hermetic coverage with three cylindrical layers and two endcaps with three disk layers each. It consisted of 1744 n+-in-n silicon modules with a total of about 80 million pixels that were individually read out via chips bump-bonded to the silicon...

The Pixel Detector of the ATLAS experiment has shown excellent performance during the whole Run-1 of LHC. Taking advantage of the long showdown, the detector was extracted from the experiment and brought to surface, to equip it with new service quarter panels, to repair modules and to ease installation of the Insertable B-Layer (IBL). IBL is a fourth layer of pixel detectors, and has been...

From 2024, the HL-LHC will provide unprecedented pp luminosities to ATLAS, resulting in an additional integrated luminosity of around 2500 fb-1 over ten years. This will present a unique opportunity to substantially extend the mass reach in searches for many signatures of new physics, in several cases well into the multi-TeV region, and to significantly extend the study of the properties of...

LHCb is a dedicated experiment to study New Physics in the decays of heavy
hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Heavy hadrons are
identified through their flight distance in the Vertex Locator (VELO), which
consists of two retractable silicon strip detectors surrounding the
interaction point.
The VELO comprises 42 modules made of two n+-on-n 300 um thick...

The Silicon Pixel Detector forms the innermost part of the CMS tracking system and is critical to track and vertex reconstruction. Being in close proximity to the beam interaction point, it is exposed to the highest radiation damage in the silicon tracker.
In order to preserve the tracking performance with the LHC luminosity increase which is foreseen for the next years, the CMS experiment...
