The DAMPE (DArk Matter Particle Explore) satellite has been successfully launched on the 17$^{th}$ December 2015. It is a powerful space detector made of the following sub systems: a double layer plastic scintillator strip detector (PSD), a silicon-tungsten tracker converter (STK), a bismuth germanium oxide imaging calorimeter (BGO) and a neutron detector (NUD). The DAMPE satellite has been...
The construction of the new accelerator at the Japanese Flavour Factory (KEKB) has been finalized and the commissioning of its detector (Belle II) is planned by early 2017. This new e+e- machine ("SuperKEKB") will deliver an instantaneous luminosity of 8⋅10^35 cm−2s−1, which is 40 times higher than the world record set by KEKB.
In order to be able to fully exploit the increased number of...
The Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) is one of the main detectors in the Belle II experiment (KEK, Japan). The SVD takes essential roles of precise decay-vertex determination and low-energy-track reconstruction in combination with the PiXel Detector (PXD). SVD consists of four-layers Double-sided Silicon Strip Detectors (DSSD) located in a cylindrical shape around the Belle II interaction point....
