Detectors for High Radiation and Extreme Environments
Oral Presentation
While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is continuing to deliver an ever-increasing luminosity to the experiments, plans for an upgraded machine called Super-LHC (sLHC) are progressing. The upgrade is foreseen to increase the LHC design luminosity by a factor ten. The ATLAS experiment will need to build a new tracker for sLHC operation, which needs to be suited to the harsh sLHC...

Novel Gas-based Detection Techniques
Oral Presentation
MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) made of resistive strips have rised as a promising technology for the protection against spark processes having place in the gaseous chamber. The reproduction of the signals and its propagation through the resistive foil is mandatory to better understand its behaviour and optimise the key parameters which might depend on the application requirements. In...

Detectors for High Radiation and Extreme Environments
Oral Presentation
To extend the physics reach of the LHC, upgrades to the accelerator are planned which will increase the peak luminosity by a factor 5 to 10. This will lead to increased occupancy and radiation damage of the inner trackers.
To cope with the elevated occupancy, the ATLAS experiment plans to introduce an all-silicon inner tracker with the HL-LHC upgrade. With silicon, the occupancy can be...

Detectors for High Radiation and Extreme Environments
Oral Presentation
The use of segmented silicon detectors for tracking and vertexing in particles physics has grown substantially since their introduction in 1980. It is now anticipated that not less than 50,000 six inch wafers of high resistivity silicon will need to be processed into sensors to be deployed in the upgraded experiments in the future high luminosity LHC at CERN.
These detectors will also face an...

Detectors for High Radiation and Extreme Environments
Oral Presentation
The luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider is foreseen to proceed in two phases. An eventual factor-of-ten increase in LHC statistics will have a major impact in the LHC Physics program. However, the HL-LHC as well as offering the possibility to increase the physics potential will create an extreme operating environment for the detectors, particularly the tracking devices and the...
