The foreseen luminosity upgrade for the LHC (a factor of 5-10 more in peak luminosity by 2021) poses serious constraints on the technology for the ATLAS tracker in this High Luminosity era (HL-LHC). In fact, such luminosity increase leads to increased occupancy and radi...

Abstract Precision machines like electron-positron-colliders and b-factories demand for low material budget and high position resolution when it comes to particle tracking. A low material budget can be achieved by using thin double-sided silicon detectors (DSSDs) and li...

Abstract A common DAQ system is being developed within the CALICE collaboration. It provides a flexible and scalable architecture based on giga-ethernet and 8b/10b serial links in order to transmit either slow control data, fast signals or read out data. A detector inte...

Abstract A TPC is considered as tracking detector at a future linear collider. The LCTPC (Linear Collider TPC) collaboration has therefore constructed a prototype TPC for R&D purposes. MPGD readout structures, such as Micromegas or GEMs, are being considered for the TPC...

A high resolution ($\sigma 2 \sim \mu$) beam telescope based on monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) was developed within the EUDET collaboration. The telescope consists of six sensor planes using Mimosa26 MAPS with a pixel pitch of $18.4 \mu$ and thinned down to $50 ...
