CMOS technology, which fueled the rapid growth of the information technology industry in the past 50 years, has also played and continues to play a crucial role in the remarkable development of detectors for High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. The amazing evolution of CMOS transistors in terms of speed, integration and cost decrease, allowed a continuous increase of density, complexity and...
Liquid argon (LAr) sampling calorimeters are employed by ATLAS for all electromagnetic calorimetry in the pseudo-rapidity region |η| < 3.2, and for hadronic and forward calorimetry in the region from |η| = 1.5 to |η| = 4.9. In the LHC Run-2 about 150fb-1 of data at a center- of-mass energy of 13 TeV have been recorded. The well calibrated and highly granular LAr Calorimeter reached its design...
The iTOP detector is a novel Cherenkov detector developed for particle identification at Belle II, an upgrade of the previous Belle experiment at KEK. The SuperKEKB accelerator, an upgrade of KEKB, collides electrons and positrons with a design luminosity of 8*10^(35)/(cm^2 s). In order to exploit the high collision rate Belle II has a trigger rate of up to 30 kHz.
The iTOP detector uses...
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is the most massive bolometric experiment searching for neutrino-less double beta (0νββ) decay. The detector consists of an array of 988 TeO$_{2}$ crystals (742 kg active mass) arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. The construction of the experiment and, in particular, the installation of the towers in the...
DARWIN is a next-generation dark matter and neutrino observatory based on 50 tons of xenon. Its central TPC of 2.6 m diameter and height is operated as dual-phase detector with optimized light and charge read-out. It will allow to search for WIMPs at the GeV-TeV mass scale down to the "neutrino floor" where coherent interactions of astrophysical neutrinos start to dominate the interaction...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is an experiment under construction in China with the primary goal of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy (MH) with reactor anti-neutrinos. The JUNO detector system consists of a central detector, an active veto system and a calibration system. The central detector is a 35 meter diameter transparent acrylic sphere containing a 20 kton...
