The PANDA experiment at the planned FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt aims at measuring hadronic final states with unprecedented precision and luminosity. Superior particle identification of charged and neutral particles is mandatory to fulfil PANDA's physics aims. DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) counters are foreseen for charged particle identification. A barrel DIRC...

The CERN NA62 experiment aims to measure the ultra-rare (BR ~ 10E-10) charged kaon decay K+-->pi+ nu nubar with a 10% accuracy. The experiment will use part of the existing NA48 infrastructure, but new detectors will be built in order to match the requirements for the novel measurement. The main background, the decay K+-->mu+ nu (BR ~ 63%), must be suppressed by a rejection factor of...

The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is the outermost of the three sub-systems of the ATLAS Inner Detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It consists of close to 300000 thin- wall drift tubes (straws) providing on average 30 two-dimensional space points with 0.13 mm resolution for charged particle tracks with |η| < 2 and pT > 0.5 GeV. Along with continuous tracking, it provides...
