A long succession of inventions of particle detectors has given life to
generations of scientists and has enabled step by step the understanding of
chemistry, the physics of light, matter and cosmos. Over the last hundred years the
imaging of the interactions of ionizing particles has allowed to penetrate
mysteries of elementary objects and forces, far beyond what we can see and feel...

With more than 15000 silicon strip modules and an active silicon area
of 200 squaremetres, the CMS silicon strip tracker will be the
largest silicon tracker ever built. While module mass production has
started in 2004, the detector construction has recently entered
its crucial phase with modules being assembled onto larger
substructures, which in turn are being integrated into the...

The CDFII silicon detector with its 8 layers of double-sided silicon
microstrip sensors and a total 722,432 readout channels is one of
the largest silicon detector devices presently in use by a HEP
experiment. We report our experience commissioning and operating this
complex device during the first four years of Tevatron Run II
program. The performance of the system and its impact on...

The ATLAS Semi-Conductor Tracker (SCT) uses silicon strip detectors
to measure trajectories of charged particles coming from 14 TeV
proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The
SCT provides at least four precise space points, in the radial range
of 27 to 50 cm from the beam, for tracks within the angular
acceptance ||<2.5. The SCT is built up of 4088 modules,...

The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) is one of the detectors designed to
study the future p-p interactions of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider)
accelerator at CERN. Muons from p-p collisions are expected to
provide clean signatures for many of the interesting processes which
will be studied at LHC. CMS has put a big emphasis on developing a
highly efficient muon system. It consists of four...
