The CMS Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS) was designed for measuring protons that escape along the LHC beam line after the interaction in CMS. It has successfully taken data during the LHC Run 2, collecting more than 110 fb-1 of integrated luminosity, and since 2022 is taking data in Run 3. A substantial upgrade of the PPS tracker was designed in preparation for Run 3, concerning the...
The CMS experiment will be upgraded with a MIP Timing Detector (MTD) for the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC). The precise timing provided by MTD will help mitigate the effects of the challenging pile-up conditions expected at the High-Luminosity LHC and extend the physics reach of the experiment. The Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) will instrument the forward region of the MTD detector,...
The SIG and MERLINO INFN projects are developing new technologies for Particle Therapy beam monitoring systems, also integrating range a verification technique based on Prompt Gamma Timing (PGT) with a primary particle beam monitor able to track the single particles.
The aim of the final system is to measure on-line the time difference between a single primary particle crossing a thin...
A proof-of-principle setup with two bent silicon crystals is planned to be operated during LHC Run 3. It serves as preparation for an experiment aimed at measuring the dipole moments of charm baryons, from LHC Run 4 onwards, relying on the phenomena of particle channeling and spin precession in the bent crystals.
A silicon pixel module, based on the LHCb Velo sensors, is currently under...
