Description
High energy physics experiments use a sophisticated set of different sub-detector systems. These sub-detectors range from high precision silicon tracking systems to gaseous detectors or calorimeters, with each fulfilling a specific function to help identifying and tracking particles emerging from the collision region. This talk will present the various detectors found inside a high energy physics experiment and explain their basic functionality. This will be illustrated with examples of present systems installed at the CERN. Furthermore, novel developments for the different detector technologies will be presented.
