The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment has been proposed for construction at the Beam Dump Facility at CERN SPS. SHiP is aimed at searching for very weakly interacting long lived particles such as Heavy Neutral Leptons.
SHiP is composed of two detector systems located downstream of the target, absorber and muon shield.
The first is the Scattering and Neutrino detector, based on...
The Super Charm-Tau Factory is an electron-positron collider experiment in the center of mass energy range from 2 to 6 GeV with peak luminosity 10$^{35}\text{cm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$. The luminosity in 100 times higher than at BES-III experiment will be provide due to implementation of Crab-Waist scheme of collision and submillimeter vertical beta-function. Also the high level of longitudinal...
The Time of Propagation (TOP) detector is a novel particle identification system developed for the barrel region of the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. The detector is based on reconstructing the emission angle of Cherenkov photons generated in its quartz radiator bars by measuring the propagation time of individual photons to the Micro-Channel Plate PMT...
The TORCH time-of-flight detector is designed to provide a 15 ps timing resolution for charged particles, resulting in pi/K particle identification up to 10 GeV/c momentum over a 10 m flight path. Cherenkov photons, produced in a quartz plate of 10 mm thickness, are focused onto an array of micro-channel plate photomultipliers (MCP-PMTs) which measure the photon arrival times and spatial...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) at FAIR is designed to measure at unprecedented interaction rates up to 10MHz to study extremely rare probes in nucleus-nucleus collisions with high precision. Hence, CBM will be equipped with fast and radiation hard detector systems, readout by a free-streaming data acquisition system, transporting data with up to 1TB/s to a large scale computer...
The largest phase-1 upgrade project for the ATLAS Muon System at LHC is the replacement of the first forward stations with New Small Wheels (NSWs). Along with Micromegas, NSWs will be equipped with 8 layers of small-strip thin gap chambers (sTGC) arranged in multilayers of 2 quadruplets, for a total active surface of more than 2500m2. Each sTGC plane must achieve a spatial resolution better...
We will discuss the performance of the Resistive Plate Chambers detector (RPC) and the Level-1 Muon Barrel trigger of the ATLAS experiment during the LHC data taking at 13 TeV. The Level-1 Muon Barrel trigger operates at the 40 MHz LHC collision rate and uses the RPC to select muon candidates in the barrel region. The RPC detector consists of 3600 gas volumes arranged in three concentric...
The CMS muon endcap trigger is being upgraded to prepare for data taking at the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider. The upgrades are needed to cope with the increasing data rate in a challenging environment and to improve the sensitivity of the detector to physics beyond the standard model with displaced muons. Through the mid 2020s, the muon endcap system will be instrumented with new Gas...
The Vertex Locator (VELO), surrounding the interaction region of the LHCb experiment, reconstructs the collision points (primary vertices) and decay vertices of long-lived particles (secondary vertices). The upgraded VELO will be composed of 52 modules placed along the beam axis divided into two retractable halves. The modules will each be equipped with 4 silicon hybrid pixel tiles, each...
For the LHC luminosity upgrade, ATLAS will install 2 muon New Small Wheels (NSW), which will significantly reduce the fake muon trigger rate and maintain muon tracking performance in the end-cap region of the detector. NSWs are made Micromegas (MM) and sTGC, both to be used for precision tracking and triggering, providing a total of 16 layers of redundancy. Detectors of both technologies are...
In light of the upgrade program of the ALICE detector a forward calorimeter (FoCal) is being considered that must be able to discriminate decay photons from direct photons at high energy, requiring extremely high granularity. We are constructing a unique prototype of a digital e.m. calorimeter based on CMOS monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) that should fulfil this requirement.
The...
Based on the particle-flow paradigm, a highly granular sampling calorimeter with scintillator tiles as active material and stainless steel as absorber is proposed to address major challenges from precision measurements of jets at the future lepton colliders, such as the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). A wide range of R&D efforts are being carried on with the major aim to build a...
The two LHCb RICH detectors operated at the luminosity of $\sim 4 \times 10^{32}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$, providing an excellent PID until the end of Run2 in 2018. From the beginning of Run3 in 2021 the Level 0 hardware trigger of the experiment will be removed to allow a data readout at the full rate of 40 MHz and the luminosity will be increased to $\sim 2 \times 10^{33}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. In...
The Belle II experiment aims to find physics beyond the standard model using a record size sample of B-Bbar pairs corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 50 1/ab produced in electron – positron collisions at the SuperKEKB accelerator facility in Japan. The Aerogel Ring Imaging CHerenkov counter (ARICH) is the particle identification device installed in the forward end-cap of the Belle II...
The LHCb Collaboration is planning an Upgrade II, a flavour physics experiment for the high luminosity era. This will be installed in LS4 (2030) and targets an instantaneous luminosity of $1.5 \times10^{34} $ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, and an integrated luminosity of at least 300 fb$^{-1}$. Physics goals include probing new physics scenarios in lepton flavour universality, obtaining unprecedented...
