Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology is being considered for the forward muon upgrade of the CMS experiment in Phase 2 of the CERN LHC. Its first implementation is planned for the GE1/1 system in the 1.5 <| η |< 2.2 region of the muon endcap mainly to control muon level-1 trigger rates after the second long LHC shutdown. A GE1/1 triple-GEM detector is read out by 3,072 radial strips with...
The muon detection system of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is based on different technologies for muon tracking and triggering. In particular, the muon system in the endcap disks of the detector consists of Resistive Plate Chambers for triggering and Cathode Strip Chambers for tracking. At present, the endcap muon system is only partially instrumented with...
The TOTEM experiment, which will measure the total proton-proton cross-section, elastic-scattering and diffractive processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), consists of three detectors: the Roman Pots, the T1 detector and the very forward tracking T2 telescope. The readout of the TOTEM detectors uses custom radiation tolerant Integrated Circuits (ICs) as the Front-End ASIC (VFAT) and the...
