The GigaTracker is a lightweight hybrid silicon pixel detector built for the NA62 experiment at CERN,
which aims at measuring the branching fraction of the ultra-rare kaon decay $K^+\rightarrow \pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ at the CERN SPS.
The detector consists of three stations, 61$\times$27 mm$^2$ each, which tracks particles in a 75 GeV/$c$ hadron beam with a flux reaching
1.3 MHz/mm$^2$ and...
The projected proton beam intensity of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), slated to begin operation in 2026, will result in between 140 and 200 concurrent proton-proton interactions per 25 ns bunch crossing. The scientific program of the HL-LHC, which includes precision Higgs coupling measurements, measurements of vector boson scattering, and searches for new heavy or exotic...
