The CMS MIP Timing Detector (MTD) is designed to provide precision timing information, with resolution of ~40 ps per layer for charged particles, with hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η|=3. The endcap region of the MTD, called the Endcap Timing Layer (ETL), will be instrumented with silicon-based low gain avalanche detectors (LGADs), covering the high radiation pseudo-rapidity...
The increase of the particle flux (pile-up) at the HL-LHC with luminosities of L ≃ 7.5 × 1034 cm−2s−1 will have a severe impact on the ATLAS detector reconstruction and trigger performance. The end-cap and forward region where the liquid Argon calorimeter has coarser granularity and the inner tracker has poorer longitudinal vertex position resolution will be particularly affected. A High...
The increase in instantaneous luminosity at the HL-LHC experiments will have a severe impact on event reconstruction. Original tracking capabilities could however be restored by measuring tracks with picosecond precision. Within the INFN-TIMESPOT initiative we are developing innovative 3D pixels with the aim to build a demo mini-tracker using 55µm x 55µm silicon pixels with a required time...
LHCb has recently submitted a document describing the physics case for
Upgrade II of the detector to begin operation in 2031.
The Upgrade II of LHCb is planned to run at an
instantaneous luminosity of 2×1034 cm−2s−1, an order of
magnitude above that of Upgrade I, which will be commissioned in 2021.
The goal of Upgrade II is to accumulate a sample of at least 300 fb−1 in about 5 years.
