Comment: 6 pages, 12 figures, proceeding contribution to the 10th International Hiroshima Symposium 2016, submitted to NIMA

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Commission under the FP7 Research Infrastructures project AIDA, grant agreement no. 262025. This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) u...

DESY Hamburg operates a test beam facility with three independent beam lines at the DESY II synchrotron. It is world-wide one of very few facilities providing test beams in the GeV range. To this end, it offers electron/positron beams with user-selectable momenta from 1...

The DANSS project is aimed at creating a relatively compact neutrino spectrometer which does not contain any flammable or other dangerous liquids and may therefore be located very close to the core of an industrial power reactor. As a result, it is expected that high ne...

Hadronic showers such as those collected in the Semi-Digital Hadronic CALorimeter (SDHCAL) include tracks produced by charged particles such as Minimum Ionising Particles (MIP). These tracks could be used as a tool to probe the behaviour of the SDHCAL active layers in s...

The investigation of the characteristic luminescent response of Ce-doped silica bers under exposure<br> to electrons in the 20 - 200 GeV energy range is reported in this work, in order to explore the feasibility<br> to employ silica-based bers for a simultaneous dual-re...

The ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) collaboration plans to insert a fourth pixel layer inside the present Pixel Detector to recover from eventual failures in the current pixel system, especially the b-layer. Additionally the IBL will ensure excellent tracking, vertexing ...

Abstract The ATLAS FE-I4 pixel readout chip is a 2 × 2 cm 2 state-of-the-art ASIC that is used in high-energy physics experiments and for research and development purposes. It is optimized for high hit rates and radiation hardness, but it provides only limited charge re...

The high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider, foreseen for 2026, necessitates the replacement of the CMS experiment’s silicon tracker. The innermost layer of the new pixel detector will be exposed to severe radiation, corresponding to a 1 MeV neutron equival...

After the foreseen upgrade of the LHC towards the HL-LHC, coming along with higher beam energies and increased peak luminosities, the experiments have to upgrade their detector systems to cope with the expected higher occupancies and radiation damages. In case of the AT...
