    Pixel Front-End Controller (Pixel FEC) is responsible for programming the front-end chips and distributing the trigger, clock and fast signals to the modules in the CMS Phase-1 Pixel detector. An upgrade of the Pixel FEC firmware was undertaken and was successfully integrated within the online software. It was commissioned and deployed for the operation at the beginning of 2018. The upgrade...

    Study the HL-LHC pile-up impact on clock distribution systems and analysing the needs and requirements from experiments in terms of timing distribution in order to fight high pile-up effects of High Luminosity LHC. For this, one needs to define a common set of Figures of Merits (FoMs) allowing the characterization of a timing distribution system per application in the framework of LHC...

    Tracking in high density environments, particularly in high energy jets, plays an important role in many physics analyses at the LHC. In such environments, it is possible that two highly collinear particles contribute to the same hits as they travel through the ATLAS pixel detector and semiconductor tracker. If the two particles are sufficiently collinear, it is possible that only a single...

    The LHC Run-III, scheduled to start taking data in 2021, will pose new challenges to event reconstruction as experiments are forced to move to more sophisticated software-based event filters to exploit the physics potential offered by the upgraded accelerator.

    In particular, the LHCb experiment will install a new Vertex Locator (VELO), moving to pixel sensors with a trigger-less readout. ...

    Vertex selection algorithms at the LHC have thus far relied primarily upon the hardness of the hard-scatter (HS) vertex relative to vertices from pileup (PU). The high PU environment at the HL-LHC will, however, introduce major experimental challenges for the correct selection of the HS vertex. In particular, the expected average PU vertex density of $~ 2$ $vtx/mm$ at $z=0$ can often lead to...

    With the next-generation Timepix3 hybrid pixel detector, new possibilities and challenges have arisen. The Timepix3 segments active sensor area of 2cm² into a square matrix of 256 x 256 pixels. In each pixel, the ToA (Time of Arrival, with a precision of 1.56 ns) and ToT (Time over Threshold, energy) are measured simultaneously in data-driven, self-triggered, read-out scheme.

    In High Energy Physics (HEP), as in other fields, one frequently faces the problem of reconstructing the evolution of a dynamic system from a set of experimental measurements. Most of reconstruction programs use similar methods. However, in general they are reimplemented for each specific experimental setup. Some examples are fitting algorithms (i.e. Kalman Filter), equations for propagation,...

    The CMS experiment at CERN will undergo significant improvements to cope with a 5-fold increase in instantaneous luminosity for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era. In particular the endcap calorimetry will suffer from very high radiation levels and unprecedented event pile-up. The CMS HGCAL is being designed to replace the existing CMS endcap electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. It...

    Many standard model extensions predict long-lived massive particles that can be detected by looking for displaced decay vertices in the inner detector volume. Current approaches to seek for these events in high-energy particle collisions rely on the presence of additional energetic signatures to make an online selection during data-taking. Enabling trigger-level reconstruction of displaced...

    For the post High Luminosity LHC era, several accelerator projects are under study with an aim to increase the discovery potential for new physics at both the high energy and intensity frontier. The hadron-hadron based Future Circular Collider(FCC-hh) is one such project with the goal to collide proton-proton beams at $\sqrt{s} \sim 100$TeV with a bunch crossing rate of 25ns. Some of the major...
