Next generation liquid xenon TPCs are poised to increase our sensitivity to dark matter by two orders of magnitude over a wide range of possible dark matter candidates. This abstract describes an idea to expand the reach and flexibility of such detectors even further, by adding helium and neon to the xenon to enable searches for very light dark matter and combining high and low Z targets in...

Currently m$^2$ large Micromegas detectors with a spatial resolution better than 100 $\mu$m are of big interest for many experiments.
Due to their size the construction of these detectors is highly sophisticated and needs to fulfill strict mechanical tolerances.
We developed a method to survey working detectors on potential deviations of the micro pattern readout structures from design...

Identification of jets originating from b or c quarks is important for a wide variety of standard model physics (e.g. final states involving top quarks and Higgs bosons) as well as searches for physics beyond the standard model. Due to the increased center of mass energy in Run 2, final states with boosted b-quark jets become increasingly important. The CMS collaboration developed a number of...

Run-2 of the LHC has provided new challenges to track and vertex reconstruction with higher energies, denser jets and higher rates. In addition, the Insertable B-layer (IBL) is a fourth pixel layer, which has been inserted at the centre of ATLAS during the shutdown of the LHC. We will present results showing the performance of the track and vertex reconstruction algorithm using Run-2 data at...

The precise understanding of the missing transverse momentum observable is crucial for searches for processes beyond the Standard Model as well as for precision measurements. The high collision rate at the CMS detector during the 13 TeV data-taking periods of the LHC poses challenges to reconstruction far beyond those previously overcome. We will present the performance of missing energy in...

During the First Long Shutdown (LS1), the LHCb experiment has introduced major modification in the data-processing procedure and modified part of the detector to deal with the increased luminosity and the increased heavy-hadron production cross-section. In this contribution we review the performance of the particle identification detectors at LHCb, Rich, Calorimeters, and Muon system, after the LS1.
