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 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 ...

Abstract Si-strips are the baseline for the Forward Tracker Detector (FTD) of the International Linear Detector (ILD). The main element of the front-end electronics is a multi-channel ASIC for self-triggered detection and processing of low level charge signals. The arch...

The ATLAS Planar Pixel Sensor R&D Project is a collaboration of 17 institutes and more than 80 scientists. Their goal is to explore the operation of planar pixel sensors for the tracker upgrade at the High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). This work will give a...

Abstract At the end of 2012 the proton irradiation facility at the CERN PS [1] will shut down for two years. With this in mind, we have been developing a new ATLAS scanning facility at the University of Birmingham Medical Physics cyclotron. With proton beams of energy a...

This work was performed in the framework of the CERN-RD50 collaboration under the project RD50-2015-03. The project has received funding from the European Commission under the FP7 Research Infrastructures project AIDA, grant agreement no. 262025. This project has been p...
