Description

In high energy physics experiments, complex detector systems are widely used to harvest major physics discoveries. This talk will give an overview of the fundamental design of detectors in colliding beam experiments. The silicon detectors were used as spectrometers in fifties and later as vertexing and tracking detectors since early eighties as integral part of high energy physics experiments. A brief description of the historic evolution of such systems, the advantages, basic principle of operation, different designs and radiation damage issues will be presented. Also due to the proposed increase in luminosity in future HL-LHC, an overview of present upgrade choices of sensor designs for CMS experiment will also be covered.
