A new tracking detector is under development for use by the CMS experiment at High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). crucial requirement of this upgrade to provide ability reconstruct all charged particle tracks with transverse momentum above 2–3 GeV within 4 μs so they can be used in Level-1 trigger decision. concept an FPGA-based track finder using a fully time-multiplexed architecture presented, where candidates are reconstructed projective binning algorithm based on Hough Transform, followed...
The high instantaneous luminosities expected following the upgrade of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) pose major experimental challenges for CMS experiment.A central component allow efficient operation under these conditions is reconstruction charged particle trajectories and their inclusion in hardwarebased trigger system.There are many involved achieving this: a large input data rate about 20-40 Tb/s; processing new batch every 25 ns, each consisting 15,000...
Monolithic pixel detectors in deep-submicron Fully Depleted (FD) Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology have been developed and characterized. This summary presents the first assessments of total dose effect from ionizing radiation performed on such detectors. work, single transistor test structures, shows how substrate bias condition during irradiation plays a dramatic role resulting damage.
We describe here the first monolithic pixel detector prototype embedding OrthoPix architecture, specifically designed to deal with imaging applications where relevant number of hit per frame (occupancy) is small (on order or less than 1%), like in High Energy Physics, Medical Imaging and other applications. Current state art employs complex circuitry into cell discriminate signals, leading an extremely effective, non-destructive compression at price large power consumption area limitations....
We present an electronics design for a tracking trigger the CERN SLHC. The on detector part uses asynchronous logic so only clock required is LHC crossing clock. High Pt tracks are identified with hierarchical method that finds track stubs using closely spaced pairs of detectors. Track segments (called tracklets) then formed from separated by 40 mm. This separation close enough matching relatively easy but far apart tracklets can be projected to another layer mm accuracy. Matching in two or...
In recent years the use of hadrons for cancer radiation treatment has grown in importance, and many facilities are currently operational or under construction worldwide. To fully exploit therapeutic advantages offered by hadron therapy, precise body imaging accurate beam delivery is decisive. Proton computed tomography (pCT) scanners, their R&D phase, provide ultimate 3D guidance. A key component a pCT scanner detector used to track protons, which great impact on performances ultimately...
This is a short conference record (a detailed article will be submitted for peer-reviewed publication after the project gather first data) about iMPACT project, which aims to build novel pCT scanner protons of medical energy (200-300 MeV range) designed improve current state art in tracking at all levels: speed, spatial resolution and material budget. Scanning time limited few seconds, budget reduced by factor 4 (respect micro-strip based detectors) pushed down 10 μm range mark. Such...
The performance of the tracker CMS experiment, comprising a pixel and strip detector, has so far been excellent, as reflected in wealth physics results produced far.However, foreseen increases both instantaneous well integrated luminosity by LHC during next ten years will necessitate series upgrades tracking detector.In 2016-17 detector be exchanged, around 2022 whole need to replaced, order able cope with an 5 × 10 34 cm -2 s -1 3000 fb , expected for High Luminosity (HL-LHC).Experience at...
A monolithic pixel detector in deep-submicron Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology has been developed and characterized. This summary presents the first assessments of effect ionizing radiation as regards total dose damage on single transistors used for development prototype chip. work shows decisive substrate bias condition during irradiation induced electronics.
The LHC program at 13 and 14 TeV, after the observation of candidate SM Higgs boson, will help clarify future subjects study shape needed tools. Any upgrade experiments for unprecedented luminosities, such as High Luminosity-LHC ones, must then maintain acceptance on electroweak processes that can lead to a detailed properties boson. key lepton, photon hadron triggers should be kept overall physics acceptance, in particular low-mass scale processes, same one featured 2012. In scenario, new...

We developed and characterized Monolithic pixel detectors in deep-submicron Fully Depleted (FD) Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology. This paper presents the first studies of total dose effects from ionizing radiation performed on single transistor test structures. work shows how substrate bias condition during irradiation heavily affects resulting damage.
The operation of the compact muon solenoid drift tubes (DTs) detectors at high-luminosity large hadron collider will be possible only with an upgrade current readout and trigger electronics, which are based on very old technology directly exposed to radiation, hence particularly sensitive aging. A new level 1 primitive generator, use original Hough transform (CHT) algorithm, is being designed goal its implementation in state-of-the-art field programmabla gate array (FPGA) devices. algorithm...
