Invited Talk
A review of the current status of experiments on direct Dark Matter detection will be given. A talk will be focused on special technique developed for searching rear events of WIMP – atomic nucleus elastic scattering. In general, the technique of selection of such events is based on simultaneous measurements of at least two species of energy deposition: for example, phonon and ionisation...

The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost detector of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It consists of silicon sensors equipped with approximately 80 M electronic channels and will allow to detect particle tracks and secondary vertices with very high precision.
After connection of cooling and services and verification of their operation the ATLAS Pixel Detector is now...

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment, aimed at studying nuclear matter under the extreme density and temperature conditions that will be attained in Pb--Pb collisions at the LHC. The Inner Tracking System (ITS) is the detector of the ALICE central barrel located closest to the beam axis. Its two intermediate layers (radii $\approx$ 15 and 24 cm) are made of silicon drift detectors...
