    A major concern with the use of silicon sensor in nuclear and particle physics experiments is its survival in the intense radiation environment. The unprecedented increase in fluence in these experiments affects its long-term sustainability due to both bulk and surface damage, resulting in the deterioration of its static and dynamic properties. Hence, stringent tolerance criteria are imposed...

    3D sensors have emerged as the most radiation-hard silicon-based technology for vertex detectors. Their radiation tolerance is due to their structure, where vertical electrodes penetrate the substrate for most or all of its thickness. The inter-electrode separation is therefore determined by the layout and can be made much smaller than the substrate thickness. As a result, sensors can be...

    In this contribution, I will review the growing interest in implementing large area fast timing detectors with a time resolution of 30-50 ps based on low gain avalanche detectors. This interest is spurred as timing information is a very effective tool in pile-up rejection.

    Depleted CMOS sensors, also known as Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (DMAPS), are extremely attractive for particle physics experiments.

    The physics aims at the proposed CLIC linear e$^+$e$^-$ collider pose challenging requirements on the performance of the detector system. In particular for the vertex detector the principal challenge is building an ultra-low mass (~0.2% X$_0$ per layer) detector that can provide a point resolution of a few μm as well as ~10 ns time stamping capabilities.
    To reach such low material budget, CLIC...

    Belle II is a next generation B-factory experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. In early 2019 the fully operational detector will start taking data. The goal is to collect a statistics 50 times larger than the one collected by its predecessor Belle, namely an integrated luminosity of 50 ab$^{-1}$.
    Belle II is designed for detecting and reconstructing particle trajectories for transverse momenta...

    Track and vertex reconstruction in the CMS detector use the information from the silicon pixel and the silicon strip detectors. The track and vertex finding and fitting algorithms are based on the Kalman filter approach. Difficulties arise in the context of standard LHC events with a high density of charged particles, where the rate of fake combinatorial tracks is very large for low pT tracks,...

    The LHCb detector is a multipurpose single-arm forward spectrometer. The main goal of its design is heavy flavor physics, covering large range of topics such as rare beauty and charm decays, CP violation and dark matter searches.

    It's excellent resolution and reconstruction efficiency in the rapidity region of $ 2 < \eta < 5$ makes much broader physics program possible, including searches...

    In this talk we will give an overview of the methods for track and vertex
    reconstruction being used in the ALICE experiment at the LHC.
    In response to the challenge of high charged-particle multiplicities
    (up to d$N$/d$y\sim2000$) and relative softness of particle momentum spectra observed in Pb-Pb collisions, ALICE has implemented a few specific algorithmic
    approaches allowing for...

    Run-2 at the LHC is nearing its end, and has already delivered an
    integrated luminosity of nearly $150\,\rm{fb}^{-1}$ to ATLAS where the
    instantaneous luminosity exceeded $2\times 10^{34}\,\rm{cm}^{-2}\,s^{-1}$.
    The high instantaneous luminosity challenged the ATLAS track and vertex
    reconstruction with a peak number of O(60) simultaneous interactions.
    Effects from radiation damage also start...
