The ATLAS experiment is currently preparing for an upgrade of the Inner Tracking for High-Luminosity LHC operation, scheduled to start in 2030. The radiation damage at the maximum integrated luminosity of 4000/fb implies integrated hadron fluencies over 2x1016neq/cm2 and tracking in a very dense environment call for a replacement of the existing Inner Detector. An all-silicon Inner Tracker...
The Inner Tracking System 3 (ITS3) for the ALICE experiment at CERN, to be installed during the LHC Long Shutdown 3 (2026-2030), will replace the current three innermost ITS2 layers. ITS3 introduces a novel ultra-light and high-precision vertex detector based on monolithic active pixel sensors that are thinned to 50 µm, bent to radii of 19, 25, and 32 mm to form truly cylindrical layers, and...
The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will significantly increase the instantaneous luminosity of proton-proton collisions, pushing the CMS experiment into a regime of extreme radiation levels, high particle multiplicities, and unprecedented data rates. To maintain and extend the physics performance of the CMS detector under these conditions, a complete replacement of the tracking...
Several proposals for future high-energy lepton colliders are currently under study, including circular (FCC-ee, CEPC) and linear (CLIC, LCF) options. The physics goals and experimental conditions at these 'Higgs Factories' pose challenging demands on the performance of the detector systems. For the silicon-based vertex and tracking layers, a single-plane spatial resolution of a few microns is...
