By now you are probably tired of hearing about the fall-out from the outcome of the recent UK referendum in which, of the 72% of electors who voted, 52% expressed a preference for the UK to quit the European Union (EU): the “Brexit” option. But I cannot resist the opportunity afforded by this editorial to […]
Cool sensors: new silicon detectors have their fridges built in
How 3D printing could get to the heart of the ILC detectors
Riding the wave of progress in semi-conductor industry, pixel vertex detectors have improved their performance dramatically over the last decades. It is now possible to build ultra-thin devices with a spatial resolution of several microns, while maintaining a read-out speed and power- consumption that is adequate for lepton collider experiments such as the ILC. Several […]
Linear collider technology checks LHC lumi
There’s a piece of linear collider detector technology that is getting ready to take real collision data. The linear collider may be at planning stage, but right in the middle of the CMS detector, a luminometer based on work done for the forward region of the ILC’s ILD detector is very much a working piece […]
