This paper presents results obtained with the combined CALICE Scintillator Electromagnetic Calorimeter, Analogue Hadronic Calorimeter and Tail Catcher & Muon Tracker, three high granularity scintillator-SiPM calorimeter prototypes. The response of the system to pion...

The DESY II electron testbeam facility will be presented including the available infrastructure.

Abstract The optical emission from the 5d – 4f allowed transition of Pr 3+ ions embedded in sol-gel silica is investigated for High Energy Physics applications requiring fast scintillating materials. A complete and detailed characterization of the optical, scintillation...

CMOS active pixel sensors are being investigated for their potential use in the ATLAS\ud inner tracker upgrade at the HL-LHC. The new inner tracker will have to handle a significant\ud increase in luminosity while maintaining a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio and pulse...

The LHC luminosity upgrade, known as the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), will require the replacement of the existing silicon strip tracker and the transistion radiation tracker. Although a baseline design for this tracker exists the ATLAS collaboration and other non-ATLA...

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...
