Astroparticle Physics

Invited Talk

Telescopes in space are reaching the limit of what the present detector technology can achieve. Nevertheless, there is a growing need to image large fractions of sky and to study faint and cool signals from the Universe. This talk will describe how future space telescopes are planning to address these requirements by building large arrays of pixelized sensors and/or large field of view...

158. The Gigatracker: an ultra fast and low mass silicon pixel detector for the NA62 experiment

Contributed Talk

The Gigatracker is a hybrid silicon pixel detector developed to track the highly intense NA62 hadron beam with a time resolution of 150 ps (rms). The beam spectrometer of the experiment is composed of three Gigatracker stations installed in vacuum in order to precisely measure momentum, time and direction of every traversing particle. Precise tracking demands a very low mass of the detector...

130. Results from the first LHC beam reconstructed tracks in the LHCb Vertex Locator

Contributed Talk

LHCb is a dedicated experiment at the LHC to study CP violation and rare b decays. The vertex locator (VELO) is a silicon strip detector designed to measure precisely the production and decay vertices of B-mesons. The detector is positioned within 8 mm of the LHC beams and will operate in an extreme radiation environment. The VELO consists of two retractable detector halves with 21 silicon...
