The LHCb experiment is preparing for a major upgrade in 2018–2019. One of the key components in the upgrade is a new silicon tracker situated upstream of the analysis magnet of the experiment. The ...Upstream Tracker (UT) will consist of four planes of silicon strip detectors, with each plane covering an area of about 2m2. An important consideration of these detectors is their performance after they have been exposed to a large radiation dose. In this paper we present test beam results of pre-prototype n-in-p and p-in-n sensors that have been irradiated with fluences up to 4.0×1014neq/cm2.

The CLEO detector has been upgraded to include a state of the art particle identification system, based on the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) technology, in order to take data at the upgraded ...CESR electron positron collider. The expected performance as well as the preliminary results are reviewed from an engineering run during the first few months of operation of the CLEO III detector.

The CLEO-III detector upgrade for charged particle identification is discussed. The RICH design uses solid LiF crystal radiators coupled with multi-wire chamber photon detectors, using TEA as the ...photosensor, and low-noise Viking readout electronics. Results from our beam test at Fermilab are presented.

We give an overview of BTeV design and physics goals.
The Standard Model of particle physics makes it possible to simulate complete events for physics signatures and their backgrounds in high-energy collisions. A knowledge of how the produced particles ...interact with the materials in a detector makes it possible to simulate the response of any particular detector design of these events and so determine whether the detector could observe the signal. The combination of these techniques has played an important role in the design of new detectors, particularly those for hadron supercolliders where the high rates and small signal cross sections make the experiments difficult. The technique is reviewed here and illustrated using the simulation of the GEM detector proposed for the Superconducting Super Collider. Although the simulations and results described here are somewhat detector-specific, we believe that they can serve as a useful model for this component of detector design for future hadron supercolliders.
