    CERNMarch/April 2021 cerncourier.com COURIERReporting on international high-energy physics WELCOME CERN Courier – digital edition Welcome to the digital edition of the March/April 2021 issue of CERN Courier. Hadron colliders have contributed to a golden era of discovery in high-energy physics, hosting experiments that have enabled physicists to unearth the cornerstones of the Standard Model. This success story began 50 years ago with CERN’s Intersecting Storage Rings (featured on the cover of this issue) and culminated in the Large Hadron Collider (p38) – which has spawned thousands of papers in its first 10 years of operations alone (p47). It also bodes well for a potential future circular collider at CERN operating at a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV, a feasibility study for which is now in full swing. Even hadron colliders have their limits, however. To explore possible new physics at the highest energy scales, physicists are mounting a series of experiments to search for very weakly interacting “slim” particles that arise from extensions in the Standard Model (p25). Also celebrating a golden anniversary this year is the Institute for Nuclear Research in Moscow (p33), while, elsewhere in this issue: quantum sensors HADRON COLLIDERS target gravitational waves (p10); X-rays go behind the scenes of supernova 50 years of discovery 1987A (p12); a high-performance computing collaboration forms to handle the big-physics data onslaught (p22); Steven Weinberg talks about his latest work (p51); and much more.

Scientists from around the world go to The 600 MeV Synchrocyclotron (SC), built in CERN to seek answers to such fundamental 1957, was CERN’s first accelerator. It provided questions using particle accelerators and pushing beams for CERN’s first experiments in particle and nuclear the limits of technology. physics. In 1964, this machine started to concentrate on nuclear physics alone, leaving particle physics to the newer During February 2019, I was given a once in a lifetime and more powerful Proton Synchrotron. opportunity to be part of The Maltese Teacher Programme at CERN, which introduced me, as one of the participants, to cutting-edge particle physics through lectures, on-site visits, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops. Why do they do all this? The main objective of these type of visits is to bring modern science into the classroom. Through this report, my purpose is to give an insight of what goes on at CERN as well as share my experience with you students, colleagues, as well as the general public. The SC became a remarkably long-lived machine. In 1967, it started supplying beams for a dedicated radioactive-ion-beam facility called ISOLDE, which still carries out research ranging from pure What does “CERN” stand for? At an nuclear physics to astrophysics and medical physics. In 1990, intergovernmental meeting of UNESCO in Paris in ISOLDE was transferred to the Proton Synchrotron Booster, and the SC closed down after 33 years of service. December 1951, the first resolution concerning the establishment of a European Council for Nuclear Research SM18 is CERN’s main facility for testing large and heavy (in French Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) superconducting magnets at liquid helium temperatures.

  • Beam–Material Interactions
    Beam–Material Interactions N.V. Mokhov1 and F. Cerutti2 1Fermilab, Batavia, IL 60510, USA 2CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract This paper is motivated by the growing importance of better understanding of the phenomena and consequences of high-intensity energetic particle beam interactions with accelerator, generic target, and detector components. It reviews the principal physical processes of fast-particle interactions with matter, effects in materials under irradiation, materials response, related to component lifetime and performance, simulation techniques, and methods of mitigating the impact of radiation on the components and environment in challenging current and future applications. Keywords Particle physics simulation; material irradiation effects; accelerator design. 1 Introduction The next generation of medium- and high-energy accelerators for megawatt proton, electron, and heavy- ion beams moves us into a completely new domain of extreme energy deposition density up to 0.1 MJ/g and power density up to 1 TW/g in beam interactions with matter [1, 2]. The consequences of controlled and uncontrolled impacts of such high-intensity beams on components of accelerators, beamlines, target stations, beam collimators and absorbers, detectors, shielding, and the environment can range from minor to catastrophic. Challenges also arise from the increasing complexity of accelerators and experimental set-ups, as well as from design, engineering, and performance constraints. All these factors put unprecedented requirements on the accuracy of particle production predictions, the capability and reliability of the codes used in planning new accelerator facilities and experiments, the design of machine, target, and collimation systems, new materials and technologies, detectors, and radiation shielding and the minimization of radiation impact on the environment.

  • How and Why Silicon Sensors Are Becoming More and More Intelligent?
    How and why silicon sensors are becoming more and more intelligent? Daniela Bortolettoa a Physics Department, University of Oxford Keble Road, Oxford, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper describes the historical evolution of silicon detectors from simple strip configurations to hybrid pixel detectors for high energy physics applications. This development has been critical to maintain the necessary physics performance in the high-rate and high- density environment of the LHC. The importance of pixel detectors and their evolution for future projects and other fields is also described. KEYWORDS: Si microstrip and pixel detectors Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Strip Sensors 2 3. Pixel Sensors 5 3.1 Hybrid pixel 6 3.2 Hybrid pixel for X-ray detection 8 4. Fully depleted Thick CCD 8 5. New Directions 9 6. Acknowledgments 10 1. Introduction Silicon is the dominant semiconductor material used in the production of position sensitive detectors for particle physics. The moderate band gap between the conduction and the valence band of 1.12 eV is large compared to the thermal energy at room temperature of 25.9 meV. Therefore cooling is necessary only in ultra-low noise applications or when required to mitigate radiation damage. The detection of minimum ionizing particles (MIP) is based on ionisation or excitation of atoms in the medium caused by the passage of charged particles. The energy required to create an electron-hole (e-h) pair is 3.6 eV yielding an ionization of about 80 e- h/µm. Thus silicon detector can be quite thin compared with gaseous detectors.

  • Poster, Some Projects Are Also Progressing at CERN
    Status Report of Survey Activities Philippe Dewitte, Tobias Dobers, Jean-Christophe Gayde, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Introduction: France Besides the main survey activities, which are presented in dedicated talks or poster, some projects are also progressing at CERN. AWAKE, a project to verify the approach of using protons to drive a strong wakefield in a plasma which can then be harnessed to accelerate a witness bunch of electrons, will be using the proton beam of the CERN Neutrino to - Gran Sasso, plus an electron and a laser beam. The proton beam line and laser beam line are ready to send protons inside the 10m long plasma cell in October. The electron beam line will be installed next year. ELENA, a small compact ring for cooling and further deceleration of 5.3 MeV antiprotons delivered by the CERN Antiproton Decelerator, is being installed and aligned, for commissioning later this year. The CERN Neutrino Platform is CERN's undertaking to foster and contribute to fundamental research in neutrino physics at particle accelerators worldwide. Two secondary beamlines are extended in 2016-18 for the experiments WA105 and ProtoDUNE. In parallel the detectors for WA104 are refurbished and the cryostats assembled. This paper gives an overview of the survey activities realised in the frame of the above mentioned projects and the challenges to be addressed. AWAKE - Advance WAKefield Experiment AWAKE will use a protons beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) in the CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso facility (CNGS). CNGS has been stopped at the end of 2012. A high power laser pulse coming from the laser room will be injected within the proton bunches to create the plasma by ionizing the (initially) neutral gas inside the plasma cell.

    An Outlook from Europe Rolf-Dieter Heuer PoS(EPS-HEP2011)034 CERN CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] This paper presents an outlook from Europe for high-energy physics and reports on options for high-energy colliders at the energy frontier for the years to come. The immediate plans include the exploitation of the LHC at its design luminosity and energy as well as upgrades to the LHC (luminosity and energy) and to its injectors. This may be complemented by a linear electron- positron collider, based on the technology being developed by the Compact Linear Collider and by the International Linear Collider, and/or by a high-energy electron-proton collider. Moreover, a rich particle physics programme with fixed-target experiments is outlined. This contribution describes the various future directions, all of which have a unique value to add to experimental particle physics, and concludes by outlining key messages for the way forward.

Dr. Eberhard Widmann Für meinen Großvater. Abstract The Large Hadron Collider is a large particle accelerator at the CERN research labo- ratory, designed to provide particle physics experiments with collisions at unprece- dented centre-of-mass energies. For its second running period both the number of colliding particles and their collision energy were increased. To cope with these more challenging conditions and maintain the excellent performance seen during the first running period, the Level-1 trigger of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment — a so- phisticated electronics system designed to filter events in real-time — was upgraded. This upgrade consisted of the complete replacement of the trigger electronics andafull redesign of the system’s architecture. While the calorimeter trigger path now follows a time-multiplexed processing model where the entire trigger data for a collision are received by a single processing board, the muon trigger path was split into regional track finding systems where each newly introduced track finder receives data from all three muon subdetectors for a certain geometric detector slice and reconstructs fully formed muon tracks from this.
