The RD50 Collaboration – Radiation tolerant silicon detectors
The RD50 Collaboration – Radiation tolerant silicon detectors In 2001 the RD50 Collaboration “Radiation hard semiconductor devices for high luminosity colliders” was formed in view of the first luminosity upgrade scenarios for the LHC. It was obvious that the LHC tracking detectors would not survive the radiation damage arising from a foreseen luminosity upgrade and

The new proton & mixed-field Irradiation facility at CERN PS
The new proton & mixed-field Irradiation facility at CERN PS Irradiation is the process by which an object is exposed to radiation. Although this term is fairly generic, the performing of irradiation experiments has a very important meaning for the PH department. In fact, the PH department is deeply involved in radiation tolerance testing since

The RICH detector of the NA62 experiment
The RICH detector of the NA62 experiment The NA62 experiment is focused on precision tests of the Standard Model by studies of rare decays of charged kaons since only for few kaon decays there is a precise theoretical prediction. One of these exceptions is the very rare decay K+→π+ν ν, which has a branching ratio

The PH Detector Technology (PH DT) group
The PH Detector Technology (PH DT) group PH‐DT is one of the three technical support groups in the physics department. Our main mandate is to develop, construct, operate and maintain detectors components for physics experiments at CERN. Our competencies span over a very wide spectrum from classical mechanics and composite materials over thin films and
