The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB e+e- collider has started data taking in 2019 with the perspective of collecting 50ab-1 in the course of the next several years. The detector is working well with very good performance, but the first years of running are showing novel challenges and opportunities for reliable and efficient detector operations with machine backgrounds extrapolated to...
After more than 15 years of successful data taking, the Pierre Auger Observatory started a major upgrade, called AugerPrime, whose main aim is the collection of new information about the primary mass of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), besides adding new indications on hadronic interactions at UHE.
The upgrade program includes: the installation of plastic scintillator detectors (SSDs)...
The LHCb Vertex Detector (VELO) will be upgraded for the LHC run-III to a pixel detector capable of 40 MHz full event readout and operation in very close proximity to the LHC beams. The thermal management of the system is provided by evaporative CO$_2$ circulating in micro-channels embedded within thin silicon plates. The VELO modules host 12 VeloPix ASICs with a total power consumption of up...
The ATHENA (A Totally Hermetic Electron-Nucleus Apparatus) detector is designed to deliver the full physics program of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) as set out for the EIC project approval (December 2019), providing the best possible acceptance, resolution, and particle identification capabilities. As an entirely new detector, ATHENA has been designed to accommodate all necessary subsystems...
The design of a feasible multi-TeV Muon Collider facility is the mandate of the international Design Study based at CERN and is considered with great interest along the presently on-going US SnowMass process. The physics potential of such a novel future collider is overwhelming, ranging from discovery searches to precision measurements in a single experiment. Despite the machine-design...
