2 The Large Hadron Collider at CERN

3 The Challenges At the LHC, around 2800 bunches of protons circulate in each direction in a 27km tunnel at energies approaching 7 TeV ( ev) and collide every 25ns inside the LHC experiments. Each beam carries an energy 360MJ (the same kinetic energy as a TGV at 150km/h). In each bunch collision, there are typically multiple proton collisions with hundreds of particles going in all directions. The job of the detectors is to measure the path of each particle for each bunch crossing and determine its corresponding energy and momentum. Detectors often need to cope with many particles per cm 2 (high particle fluxes), many different particle types (different masses etc) and constraints of cost, accessibility, high radiation levels over long operation periods, data transmission and data storage limitations Usually a system of detectors is needed so that the different components have to perform their function while minimally interfering with the function of the other parts The requirements always push in the direction of improved position, time, energy and momentum resolution with clearer particle identification (or background rejection) and realtime pattern recognition and data processing At the same time many application demand affordable large area coverage 3

4 Particle Detectors Tracking detectors focus on measuring the paths of all the charged particles to find their energies (E), momenta (p) and charge (±), derived from linking the hits for each particle combined with additional information from other detector layers (which often also can see the neutral particles) A very powerful technique to measure momentum is to track in a known magnetic field where the curvature is proportional to 1/p. Join the dots and fit for curves (seen end-on) in a solenoid magnetic field As the particle traverses the full detector system (including the tracker) the pattern of energy loss in different media provides information on the particle type (and therefore mass). Where massive detectors stop the particle entirely (electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters) they directly provide E and also the energies and directions of the neutral particles. (In ATLAS ionization in liquid Ar with Pb, Cu or W absorbers is used for calorimetry except the for hadronic barrel based on steel and scintillator tiles) Muons, the main component of cosmic ray interactions at ground level, are very penetrating and for these charged particles, the identification comes from this property 4

14 This is where it goes

15 Physics Reach at the LHC The challenge of the LHC is to cope with proton-proton collisions at rates giving up to collision events per year, but where only a tiny fraction can be sensibly recorded Even at LHC energies and collision rates, new physics is hard to find Most collisions give low momentum events that do not correspond to the proton s constituents undergoing the head-on collisions which have the energies to make new particles A multi-level trigger quickly identifies signatures of high-energy constituent collisions and gives 10-5 online data reduction Even then, many tens of millions of Gigabytes per year need storing and processing: Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG over 150,000 processors at over 170 sites in 36 countries Cross-section, σ, measured in units of barns (b) 15

20 The Higgs: Next Steps at the LHC The CERN Council (May 2013) stated: The discovery of the Higgs boson is the start of a major programme of work to measure this particle s properties with the highest possible precision for testing the validity of the Standard Model and to search for further new physics at the energy frontier. The LHC is in a unique position to pursue this programme. Europe s top priority should be the exploitation of the full potential of the LHC, including the high-luminosity upgrade of the machine and detectors with a view to collecting ten times more data than in the initial design, by around 2030 HEPAP in the US (May 2014) decided: The HL-LHC is strongly supported and is the first high-priority large-category project in our recommended program 20

38 Potential technologies under study to bring some of the advantages of monolithic active pixel sensor (MAPS) technology to the HL-LHC HV/HR-CMOS R&D MAPS already installed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven, USA Some key fundamental issues around HV/HR-CMOS sensors are not yet fully understood, in particular the charge collection and efficiencies (especially after irradiation) but also time slewing, which all need further R&D A reasonably sized detector still needs to be demonstrated in a beam with particles 38

39 Conclusions The understanding of the full physics potential of the HL-LHC is advancing rapidly, with greatly increased activity on both detector and accelerator preparations following the adoption by CERN Council of the Updated European Strategy for Particle Physics, with the HL-LHC as its highest priority ATLAS has a coherent plan for upgrades through the coming decade to meet the challenges up to and including the HL-LHC era. There are designs for a replacement tracker that should withstand both the pile-up and radiation conditions at the HL-LHC with performance able to not just fully recover, but also improve on, the current vertex finding and tracking capabilities at low pile-up. There are many opportunities for advanced technologies in sensors, radiation-hard electronics, powering, advanced low-mass composites, optical read-out, data acquisition systems and computing. The UK participants in ATLAS, with the support of STFC, are playing major roles in key aspects of the LHC and HL-LHC programmes. 39
