The LHCb experiment is one of the four big experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and it is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for New Physics. It is constructed as a forward single-arm spectrometer covering the polar angle 15-300 mrad. The Silicon Tracker (ST) of LHCb is a silicon micro-strip detector designed to perform a precise measurement of...

The CMS tracker is the largest silicon detector ever built, covering 200 square meters and providing an average of 14 high-precision measurements per track. The use of tracker data for reconstruction of charged particles and primary and secondary vertices requires fine-grained monitoring and calibration procedures as well as accurate alignment. Results from timing and threshold optimization,...

The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost detector of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, providing high-resolution measurements of charged particle tracks in the high radiation environment close to the collision region. This capability is vital for the identification and measurement of proper decay times of long-lived particles such as b-hadrons, and thus vital for the...

The CMS tracker is the largest silicon detector ever built, covering 200 square meters and providing an average of 14 high-precision measurements per track. Data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV are used to measure the performance of the detector and the reconstruction algorithms. The resolution and efficiency of the track, vertex, and beam line reconstruction...

The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost detector of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It consists of 1744 silicon sensors equipped with approximately 80 M electronic channels, providing typically three measurement points with high resolution for particles emerging from the beam-interaction region, thus allowing to measure particle tracks and secondary vertices with...

The CMS Silicon Tracker consists of 16’588 modules covering an area of more than 200m2. To achieve an optimal track-parameter resolution, the position and orientation of the modules must be determined with a precision of a few microns and an accurate representation of the distribution of material in the tracker is needed. Results of the alignment of the tracker are presented, based on the...

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC is equipped with a charged particle tracking system,
the Inner Detector, built on three subdetectors, which provide high precision
measurements made from a fine detector granularity. The Pixel and microstrip (SCT)
subdetectors, which use the silicon technology, are complemented with the Transition
Radiation Tracker.
Since the LHC startup in 2009, the ATLAS...

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) is the main instrument onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, an orbital observatory launched in low-Earth orbit on June 11 2008 to survey the high-energy gamma-ray sky. The LAT tracker/converter serves the twofold purpose of converting the incoming gamma-ray into an electron-positron pair and tracking the latter in order to measure the original photon...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high-energy physics experiment operating in space on the International Space Station since the 16th of May. Thanks to a large acceptance and a data taking period of, at least, 10 years, AMS-02 will measure over 1010 charged particles in the rigidity range 500 MV - 2 TV. AMS-02 is able to measure the energy spectrum of the cosmic ray components...

Proton Computed Tomography (pCT) is a medical imaging method based on the use of proton beams with kinetic energy of the order of 250 MeV, aimed at directly measuring the stopping power distribution of tissues (presently calculated from X-rays attenuation coefficients) to improve the accuracy of treatment planning in hadron therapy. A pCT system should be able to measure tissue electron...
