The aim of the LHCb Upgrade II is to operate at a luminosity in the range of 1 to 2 x 10$^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ to collect a data set of 300 fb$^{-1}$. This will require a substantial modification of the current LHCb ECAL due to high radiation doses in the central region and increased particle densities. The ECAL has to provide good energy and position resolutions in these conditions....

Detectors at future e+e- colliders need special calorimeters in the very forward region for a fast estimate and precise measurement of the luminosity, to improve the hermeticity and mask the central tracking detectors from backscattered particles. In our concept, two compact calorimeters are foreseen, LumiCal and BeamCal. Both are designed as sandwich calorimeters with very thin sensor planes...

A precise measurement of the luminosity is a key component of the ATLAS physics programme. ATLAS uses several detectors and algorithms to determine the luminosity. The absolute calibration of these algorithms is carried out in LHC runs with special beam conditions at low luminosity. The track counting luminosity measurement is used to determine the calibration transfer from the low-luminosity...

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC can record about 3 kHz of physics collisions, out of an LHC design bunch crossing rate of 40 MHz. A two-level trigger system is used to achieve a high selection efficiency for rare physics events while reducing the significant background rate. The event selection is based on physics signatures, such as the presence of energetic leptons, photons, jets or missing...

With the end of RUN-II, the LHC has delivered only 4% of the collision data expected to be available during its lifetime. The next data-taking campaign -- RUN-III -- will double the integrated luminosity the LHC accumulated in 10 years of operation. The Run-III will be the herald of the HL-LHC era, an era when 90% of total LHC integrated luminosity (4 ab−1) will be accumulated allowing ATLAS...
