Abstract In July 2022, the experiments installed on Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator ring started a new data taking phase, Run-3. Before this period, an upgrade campaign took place during so called Long Shutdown 2 (2018–2022). particular, muon system of CMS experiment has been upgraded with installation gas detector station, GE1/1, based Gas Electron Multiplier technology (GEM). The scheduled two additional GEM stations: GE2/1 and ME0. aim stations is to maintain performance system,...
A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges producing collisions at high luminosity and 10 TeV centre mass are being investigated by recently-formed International Muon Collider Collaboration. This Review summarises status recent advances on colliders design, physics detector studies. aim to provide global perspective field outline directions future work.
Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the experiments installed there are being upgraded for High Luminosity LHC project that will provide a greatly enlarged data sample in search physics beyond Standard Model. During Long Shutdown 2, from 2018 to first months of 2022, some these upgrades were completed. In particular, muon spectrometer CMS experiment was with installation GE1/1 detector station, based on Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology. This station is positioned endcap...
Among the post-LHC generation of particle accelerators, muon collider represents a unique machine with capability to provide very high energy leptonic collisions and open path vast mostly unexplored physics programme. However, on experimental side, such great potential is accompanied by unprecedented technological challenges, due fact that muons are unstable particles. Their decay products interact elements produce an intense flux background particles eventually reach detector may degrade...
