Description

Precision timing detectors have the potential to transform event reconstruction in high energy physics experiments, especially at the LHC where pileup will significantly deteriorate the physics performance. I will be presenting current studies on particle identification at the LHC with enhanced detectors capable of delivering approximately 30 ps time resolution for minimum ionizing particles (MIPs). I will cover the sensor technologies being considered for these timing detectors, their performance in beam test experiments, and the current upgrade proposals for different experiments.
