The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) is made of about 75,000 scintillating lead tungstate crystals arranged in a barrel and two endcaps. The scintillation light is read out by avalanche photodiodes (APDs) in the barrel and vacuum phototriodes in the endcaps. The fast signal from the crystal scintillation, amplified and sampled at 40 MHz by the on-detector...
In order to provide the required physics performance under the challenging radiation and pileup conditions at the High Luminosity LHC, the CMS detector will undergo deep upgrades.
Under this upgrades program the existing sub-detector systems will either be improved or replaced. Entirely new sub-detector systems will also be incorporated to provide new capabilities that are not available...
In view of the High Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), that is expected to deliver an instantaneous luminosity 5 times higher with respect to the present value, the muon spectrometer of the CMS experiment will undergo specific upgrades targeting both the detectors and the electronics with the goal to cope with the new challenging data-taking conditions and to improve the...
PANDA (antiProton ANnihilation in DArmstadt) is the central experiment to fully exploit the physics research potential of antiproton beams at the international accelerator Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR), currently under construction at GSI. Phase-space cooled high intensity antiproton beams up to 15 GeV/c will be provided by the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at...
