For the High Luminosity (HL-LHC) upgrade an upgrade of the CMS detector is foreseen. One of the main projects is the development of the improved Resistive Plate Chamber (iRPC) detectors that will be ...installed in the forward region of CMS. To validate the performance of the new detector gaps with HL-LHC radiation levels, experimental tests have been conducted at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++). One chamber equipped with electronics is studied and its parameters are monitored as a function of the accumulated charge.
IDEA (Innovative Detector for Electron–positron Accelerators) is a detector concept designed for a future leptonic collider operating as a Higgs factory. It is based on innovative detector ...technologies developed over years of R&D. In September 2018, prototypes of the proposed sub-detectors have been tested for the first time on a beam line at CERN. The preliminary results from this test of a full slice of the IDEA detector and standalone measurements of dual read-out calorimeter prototypes are presented.

The CMS Data Analysis School is an official event organized by the CMS Collaboration to teach students and post-docs how to perform a physics analysis. The school is coordinated by the CMS schools ...committee and was first implemented at the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab in 2010. As part of the training, there are a number of "short" exercises on physics object reconstruction and identification, Monte Carlo simulation, and statistical analysis, which are followed by "long" exercises based on physics analyses. Some of the long exercises go beyond the current state of the art of the corresponding CMS analyses. This paper describes the goals of the school, the preparations for a school, the structure of the training, and student satisfaction with the experience as measured by surveys.
The MEG-II experiment searches for the lepton-flavor-violating decay: μ⟶e+γ. The reconstruction of the positron trajectory uses a cylindrical drift chamber operated with a mixture of He and iC4H10 ...gas. It is important to provide a stable performance of the detector in terms of its electron transport parameters, avalanche multiplication, composition and purity of the gas mixture. In order to have a continuous monitoring of the quality of gas, we plan to install a small drift chamber, with a simple geometry that allows to measure very precisely the electron drift velocity in a prompt way. This monitoring chamber will be supplied with gas coming from the inlet and the outlet of the detector to determine if gas contaminations originate inside the main chamber or in the gas supply system. The chamber is a small box with cathode walls, that determine a highly uniform electric field inside two adjacent drift cells. Along the axis separating the two drift cells, four staggered sense wires alternated with five guard wires collect the drifting electrons. The trigger is provided by two 90Sr weak calibration radioactive sources placed on top of a two thin scintillator tiles telescope. The whole system is designed to give a prompt response (within a minute) about drift velocity variations at the 10−3 level.
Highly ionizing particles (HIPs) created by nuclear interactions in the silicon sensors cause a large signal which can saturate the APV readout chip used in the CMS Silicon Tracker system. This ...phenomenon was studied in two different beam-tests performed at PSI and at the CERN X5 experimental areas in 2002. The probability of a HIP-like event to occur per incident pion was measured and the dependence of the APV capability to detect a MIP signal on the time required to recover from such an event is derived. From these results, the expected inefficiency of the CMS Tracker due to HIPS is inferred.

The CMD-3 experiment has been operating at the VEPP-2000 electron–positron collider, at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, since December 2010. Its main goal is to measure the hadronic cross ...sections necessary to evaluate the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The discrepancy between the theoretical calculations and the experimental results obtained at the Brookhaven experiments is approximately 3.7 σ. The comparison between the results of the new “g-2” experiment at Fermilab and the theoretical calculation thanks to the new experimental contributions from CMD3 would provide important contributions to this measurement, which could prove the existence of New Physics. A key element for the success the CMD3 experiment is the tracking detector, which is a drift chamber built in the year 2009 at INFN of Lecce. Because of aging effects, its replacement is necessary. This paper presents the innovative design for the new ultralight CMD3 drift chamber.

The CMD3 experiment has been operating at the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider, at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, since December 2010. Its main goal is to measure the hadronic cross ...sections necessary to evaluate the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The discrepancy between the theoretical calculations and the experimental results obtained at the Brookhaven experiments is approximately 3.7 σ.
The comparison between the results of the new “g-2” experiment at Fermilab and the theoretical calculation with the new experimental contributions from CMD3 could confirm the discrepancy, which is a new important hint of New Physics.
A key element for the success the CMD3 experiment is the tracking detector, which is a drift chamber built in the year 2009 at INFN of Lecce. Due to aging effects, its replacement is necessary, so that an innovative tracking detector, named TraPId (Tracking and Particle Identification), has been designed: an ultra-light drift chamber equipped with cluster counting/timing readout techniques, which exploits the expertise gained with the successful construction of the MEG II drift chamber. The drift chamber proposed for CMD3 will be also the prototype for the tracking system of the future Super Charm-Tau Factory detector (SCTF).
In this paper, the new design of TraPId is described, with a focus on the mechanical design of the end plates, their novel tension recovery scheme and the expected performances.
