A portable gas system for particle detectors.
A portable gas system for particle detectors. Today, about 30 gas systems are used to deliver the right gas mixture to the corresponding gaseous detectors at the LHC experiments. The detector gas mixture is the sensitive medium where the charge multiplication produces the signal that is then recorded and analysed. The correct and stable gas

Scintillation light at the end of the tunnel
Scintillation light at the end of the tunnel The LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) is approaching in giant steps and with it the date for the installation of the LHCb upgrade detectors. A large SciFi tracker will replace the current downstream trackers SciFi stands for scintillating fibre and means that the fibres will produce tiny

Upgrade of the Magnet Safety System for Experimental Magnets
Upgrade of the Magnet Safety System for Experimental Magnets The Magnet Safety System (MSS) is a critical system that ensures the safety of experimental magnets, both warm and superconducting. It was developed within EP-DT for the LHC experiments, starting at the end of the 90’s, in the framework of the overall Magnets Control Project (MCP).

AIDA-2020 spearheads European detector R&D
AIDA-2020 spearheads European detector R&D Detectors are what makes particle physics an experimental science. Pushing detector technologies and facilities beyond the frontiers of scientific innovation is critical in advancing high-energy physics. As such, current detectors must be improved and upgraded, whilst new technology, concepts and applications for future detectors need to be developed. The AIDA-2020
