At present, part of the forward RPC muon system of the CMS detector at the CERN LHC remains uninstrumented in the high-η region. An international collaboration is investigating the possibility of covering the 1.6 < |η| < 2.4 region of the muon endcaps with large-area triple-GEM detectors. Given their good spatial resolution, high rate capability, and radiation hardness, these micro-pattern...
In view of a possible extension of the forward CMS muon detector system and future LHC luminosity upgrades, Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs) are an appealing technology. They can simultaneously provide precision tracking and fast trigger information, as well as sufficiently fine segmentation to cope with high particle rates in the high-eta region at LHC and its future upgrades. We report on the...
In the ATLAS experiment, the online luminosity will be monitored mainly by a dedicated detector called LUCID (LUminosity Cherenkov Integrating Detector). This apparatus is composed by two modules having 20 Cherenkov tubes which are mainly sensitive to particles coming from the ATLAS interaction point. The Cherenkov light is collected by photomultiplier tubes (PMT) directly placed at the tubes end...
