R&D towards a High Rate Particle Detector for the CMS Experiment at the LHC Ghent University
In 2009, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful accelerator became operational,
producing mainly proton-proton collisions at multi-TeV center-of-mass energies. This allows
experiments, such as the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), to explore the so-far uncharted physics at
this energy scale. One of the, in the meantime world-famous results of the first LHC physics run that
recently ...
