The Mu3e experiment at PSI will search for the Lepton Flavor Violating Decay mu^+ -> e^+e^+e^- with an unprecedented sensitivity of 1 out of 10^16 decays. The Mu3e tracking detector has four layers of High Voltage-Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS) and exploits He-gas cooling and an ultra-light mass design with a thickness of 1 per mill of a radiation length per layer to fulfill the...
The high luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC) in 2026 will provide new challenges to the ATLAS tracker. The current inner detector will be replaced with an entirely-silicon tracker which will consist of a five barrel layer Pixel detector surrounded by a four barrel layer Strip detector. The expected high radiation levels are requiring the development of upgraded silicon sensors as well as...
As part of the ATLAS upgrades for the High Luminsotiy LHC (HL-LHC) the current ATLAS Inner Detector (ID) will be replaced by a new Inner Tracker (ITk). The ITk will consist of two main components: semi-conductor pixels at the innermost radii, and silicon strips covering larger radii out as far as the ATLAS solenoid magnet including the volume currently occupied by the ATLAS Transition...
CMOS pixel detectors with charge collection in an epitaxial layer (10-20 $\mu$m thick) have been developed since 2001 and have become realized in the STAR pixel detector at RICH and are also proposed for the ALICE ITS Upgrade. For the rate and radiation environment expected at the HL-LHC new approaches have been developed based on the following enabling technology features: HV add-ons that...
