The expected increase of the particle flux at the high luminosity phase of the LHC with instantaneous luminosities up to L=7.5$\times$10$^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ will have a severe impact on pile-up. The pile-up is expected to increase on average to 200 interactions per bunch crossing. The performance of particle reconstruction will be severely degraded in the end-cap and forward region of the...

Now that gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences have been successfully detected by the global LIGO-Virgo network, a key challenge is to improve the detector sensitivity in order to detect more transient sources — weaker or located further away. The detectors' sensitivity can be enhanced by increasing the laser power travelling within the arm cavities, for it reduces the effect of...

8. Search for neutrinoless double-beta events in a high pressure Xenon TPC with Micromegas detection at the PandaX-III experiment

The PandaX-III experiment aims to search for the rare neutrinoless double beta decay in Xenon 136. To achieve this goal, it is mandatory to select carefully the main detectors that have to achieve a very good energy resolution (at the level of 1% at 2.5MeV) and a good spatial resolution for the discrimination between double beta events and external gammas coming from radioactive isotopes. It...

9. Development of Picosec Micromegas for fast timing in high rate environments

Talk

Progress of the Picosec Micromegas concept towards a particle detector with a restive and segmented readout Detectors with a time resolution of several 10 ps and robustness under higher particles flux are necessary for a accurate vertex separation in future HEP experiments. The Picosec detector concept is a Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) based solution facing this particular problem....
