Particle flow in CMS

In hadron-collider experiments, jets are traditionally reconstructed by clustering photon and hadron energy deposits in the calorimeters. As the information from the inner tracking system is completel...

AugerPrime looks to the highest energies

The world’s largest cosmic-ray experiment, the Pierre Auger Observatory, is embarking on its next phase, named AugerPrime.

ALICE selects gas electron multipliers for its new TPC

The ALICE experiment is devoted to the study of strongly interacting matter, where temperatures are sufficiently high to overcome hadronic confinement, and the effective degrees of freedom are ...

ATLAS and CMS upgrade proceeds to the next stage

Résumé Le programme d’amélioration pour ATLAS et CMS passe à la phase suivante Le projet LHC haute luminosité permettra également d’étendre le programme ...

What’s next for OPERA’s emulsion-detection technology?

Developed in the late 1990s, the OPERA detector design was based on a hybrid technology, using both real-time detectors and nuclear emulsions. The construction of the detector at the Gran Sasso...

LHCb improves trigger in Run 2

LHCb has significantly improved the trigger for the experiment during Run 2 of the LHC. The detector is now calibrated in real time, allowing the best possible event reconstruction in the trigger...
