The Muon Collider Study (MuC) covers the accelerator complex, detectors and physics for a future muon collider. In 2023, European Commission support was obtained for a design study of a muon collider (MuCol) [3]. This project started on 1st March 2023, with work-packages aligned with the overall muon collider studies. In preparation of and during the 2021-22 U.S. Snowmass process, the muon collider project parameters, technical studies and physics performance studies were performed and presented in great detail. Recently, the P5 panel [4] in the U.S. recommended a muon collider R&D, proposed to join the IMCC and envisages that the U.S. should prepare to host a muon collider, calling this their "muon shot". In the past, the U.S. Muon Accelerator Programme (MAP) [5] has been instrumental in studies of concepts and technologies for a muon collider. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.12450v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.12450v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 17 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">This document summarises the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) progress and status of the Muon Collider R&D programme</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10261">arXiv:2407.10261</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.10261">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.10261">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Design and optimization of a hadronic calorimeter based on micropattern gaseous detectors for a future experiment at the Muon Collider </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Buonsante%2C+M">Marco Buonsante</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Borysova%2C+M">Maryna Borysova</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Colaleo%2C+A">Anna Colaleo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Camerlingo%2C+M+T">Maria Teresa Camerlingo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Longo%2C+L">Luigi Longo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Iodice%2C+M">Mauro Iodice</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Maggi%2C+M">Marcello Maggi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Moleri%2C+L">Luca Moleri</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Radogna%2C+R">Raffaella Radogna</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Sekhniaidze%2C+G">Givi Sekhniaidze</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Simone%2C+F+M">Federica Maria Simone</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Stamerra%2C+A">Anna Stamerra</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Venditti%2C+R">Rosamaria Venditti</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Zavazieva%2C+D">Darina Zavazieva</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Zaza%2C+A">Angela Zaza</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2407.10261v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Micro-pattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) are a promising readout technology for hadronic calorimeters (HCAL) thanks to their good space resolution, longevity and rate capability.

We also present the performance of twelve MPGD prototypes with different technologies (MicroMegas, $渭$-RWELL and RPWELL) assembled and operated in test beam first with high-energy muons and later with pions in a hadronic calorimeter prototype of $\sim1\,位_\text{I}$ length; the detectors have a good response uniformity (lower than 17\%) and space resolution and their performance in the calorimeter shows very good agreement with the Monte Carlo shower calculation. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.10261v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.10261v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17244">arXiv:2303.17244</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.17244">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2303.17244">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/18/07/C07006">10.1088/1748-0221/18/07/C07006 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> GEM Detectors for the CMS Endcap Muon System: status of three new detector stations </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2303.17244v2-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC, or Phase 2 LHC) will deliver proton-proton collisions at 5-7.5 times the nominal LHC luminosity, with an expected number of 140-200 pp-interactions per bunch crossing (Pile-up or PU).

To maintain the performance of muon triggering and reconstruction under high background radiation, the forward part of the Muon spectrometer of the CMS experiment will be upgraded with Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) and improved Resistive Plate Chambers (iRPC) detectors. A first GEM station (GE1/1) was installed during long-shutdown 2 (LS2, 2019-2021), a 2$^{\text{nd}}$ station (GE2/1) of Triple-GEM detectors will be installed in winter 2023-24 and 2024-25, while a new 6-layer station (ME0) will be installed in the third long shutdown (LS3, 2026-2028). GE11 is considered an early Phase 2 upgrade as it will reduce the $p_{T}$ threshold by combining GEM and Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) hits in the forward muon system at twice the LHC design luminosity ($\mathcal{L} = 2 \cdot 10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$, 50 PU). After a successful start of Run 3 in 2022, with almost 40 fb$^{-1}$ collected, the commissioning of the GE1/1 detector is nearly complete. Most chambers are operated stabily with an efficiency in excess of 95%, next being the demonstration of the combined CSC-GEM trigger in 2023. The lessons learnt with the first large-area GEM station have lead to improvements in detector and electronics design for the Phase 2 detectors GE2/1 and ME0. This proceeding will discuss the progress made since last MPGD Conference (MPGD 2019), discussing the commissioning and early performance of GE1/1; the design improvements and start of construction of GE2/1; and the R&D currently ongoing for ME0. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.17244v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.17244v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 3 May, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 30 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">The 7th International Conference on Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors, MPGD2022</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.08533">arXiv:2303.08533</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08533">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2303.08533">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Accelerator Physics">physics.acc-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Phenomenology">hep-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Towards a Muon Collider </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Accettura%2C+C">Carlotta Accettura</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Adams%2C+D">Dean Adams</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Agarwal%2C+R">Rohit Agarwal</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Ahdida%2C+C">Claudia Ahdida</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Aim%C3%A8%2C+C">Chiara Aim猫</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Amapane%2C+N">Nicola Amapane</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Amorim%2C+D">David Amorim</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Andreetto%2C+P">Paolo Andreetto</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Anulli%2C+F">Fabio Anulli</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Appleby%2C+R">Robert Appleby</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Apresyan%2C+A">Artur Apresyan</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Apyan%2C+A">Aram Apyan</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Arsenyev%2C+S">Sergey Arsenyev</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Asadi%2C+P">Pouya Asadi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Mahmoud%2C+M+A">Mohammed Attia Mahmoud</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Azatov%2C+A">Aleksandr Azatov</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Back%2C+J">John Back</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Balconi%2C+L">Lorenzo Balconi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bandiera%2C+L">Laura Bandiera</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Barlow%2C+R">Roger Barlow</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bartosik%2C+N">Nazar Bartosik</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Barzi%2C+E">Emanuela Barzi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Batsch%2C+F">Fabian Batsch</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bauce%2C+M">Matteo Bauce</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Berg%2C+J+S">J.

We describe the production and characterization of triple-GEM detectors produced with an innovative GEM foil segmentation technique, the ``random hole segmentation'', that allows an easier manufacturing of segmented GEM foils. The electrical stability to high voltage and the gain uniformity of a random-hole segmented triple-GEM prototype are measured. The results of a test beam on a prototype assembled for the Phase-2 GEM upgrade of the CMS experiment are also presented; a high-statistics efficiency measurement shows that the random hole segmentation can limit the efficiency loss of the detector in the areas between two sectors, making it a viable alternative to blank segmentation for the GEM foil manufacturing of large-area detector systems. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.06355v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.06355v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 May, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 11 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09906">arXiv:2207.09906</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.09906">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2207.09906">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2022.167618">10.1016/j.nima.2022.167618 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Performance of triple-GEM detectors for the CMS Phase-2 upgrade measured in test beam </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Stamerra%2C+A">Anna Stamerra</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2207.09906v2-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Triple-GEM detectors for the GE2/1 and ME0 stations of the endcap muon system for the Phase-2 upgrade of the CMS Experiment have been operated in a test beam to measure their efficiency and spatial resolution, together with a high spatial resolution triple- GEM tracker.

However, the accelerator upgrades will also make the experimental conditions more challenging, with implications for detector operations, triggering, and data analysis. The luminosity of the proton-proton collisions is expected to exceed $2-3\times10^{34}$~cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ for Run 3 (starting in 2022), and it will be at least $5\times10^{34}$~cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ when the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider is completed for Run 4. These conditions will affect muon triggering, identification, and measurement, which are critical capabilities of the experiment. To address these challenges, additional muon detectors are being installed in the CMS endcaps, based on Gas Electron Multiplier technology. For this purpose, 161 large triple-Gas Electron Multiplier detectors have been constructed and tested. Installation of these devices began in 2019 with the GE1/1 station and will be followed by two additional stations, GE2/1 and ME0, to be installed in 2023 and 2026, respectively. The assembly and quality control of the GE1/1 detectors were distributed across several production sites around the world. We motivate and discuss the quality control procedures that were developed to standardize the performance of the detectors, and we present the final results of the production. Out of 161 detectors produced, 156 detectors passed all tests, and 144 detectors are now installed in the CMS experiment. The various visual inspections, gas tightness tests, intrinsic noise rate characterizations, and effective gas gain and response uniformity tests allowed the project to achieve this high success rate. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.12037v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.12037v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">45 pages, 39 figures, submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07224">arXiv:2203.07224</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.07224">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2203.07224">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Promising Technologies and R&D Directions for the Future Muon Collider Detectors </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Jindariani%2C+S">Sergo Jindariani</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Meloni%2C+F">Federico Meloni</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pastrone%2C+N">Nadia Pastrone</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Aim%C3%A8%2C+C">Chiara Aim猫</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bartosik%2C+N">Nazar Bartosik</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Barzi%2C+E">Emanuela Barzi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bertolin%2C+A">Alessandro Bertolin</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Braghieri%2C+A">Alessandro Braghieri</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Buonincontri%2C+L">Laura Buonincontri</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Calzaferri%2C+S">Simone Calzaferri</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Casarsa%2C+M">Massimo Casarsa</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Catanesi%2C+M+G">Maria Gabriella Catanesi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Cerri%2C+A">Alessandro Cerri</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Chachamis%2C+G">Grigorios Chachamis</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Colaleo%2C+A">Anna Colaleo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Curatolo%2C+C">Camilla Curatolo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Da+Molin%2C+G">Giacomo Da Molin</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Delahaye%2C+J">Jean-Pierre Delahaye</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Di+Micco%2C+B">Biagio Di Micco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Dorigo%2C+T">Tommaso Dorigo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Errico%2C+F">Filippo Errico</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fiorina%2C+D">Davide Fiorina</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Gianelle%2C+A">Alessio Gianelle</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Giraldin%2C+C">Carlo Giraldin</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Hauptman%2C+J">John Hauptman</a> , et al.

However, on the experimental side, such great physics potential is accompanied by unprecedented technological challenges, due to the fact that muons are unstable particles. Their decay products interact with the machine elements and produce an intense flux of background particles that eventually reach the detector and may degrade its performance.

Large size, cost-effective, high-efficiency detection systems in high background environments are required in order to accomplish the physics program. MPGDs offer a diversity of technologies that allow them to meet the required performance challenges at future facilities thanks to the specific advantages that each technology provides. MPGDs allow stable operation, with environmentally friendly gas mixtures, at very high background particle flux with high detection efficiency and excellent spatial resolution. These features make MPGD one of the primary choices as precise muon tracking and trigger system in general-purpose detectors at future HEP colliders. In addition, the low material budget and the flexibility of the base material make MPGDs suitable for the development of very light, full cylindrical fine tracking inner trackers at lepton colliders. On-going R&Ds aim at pushing the detector performance at the limits of each technology. We are working in continuing to consolidate the construction and stable operation of large-size detectors, able to cope with large particle fluxes. In this white paper, we describe some of the most prominent MPGD technologies, their performance measurements, the challenges faced in the most recent applications, and the areas of improvement towards efficient tracking and Muon detection at future high energy physics colliders. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.06525v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.06525v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 12 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Contribution to Snowmass 2021</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.09021">arXiv:2201.09021</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.09021">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2201.09021">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Rate capability of large-area triple-GEM detectors and new foil design for the innermost station, ME0, of the CMS endcap muon system </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Bianco%2C+M">Michele Bianco</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fallavollita%2C+F">Francesco Fallavollita</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fiorina%2C+D">Davide Fiorina</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Garcia%2C+L+F+R">Luis Felipe Ramirez Garcia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Rosi%2C+N">Nicole Rosi</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2201.09021v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> To extend the acceptance of the CMS muon spectrometer to the region 2.4 $<|畏|<$ 2.8, stacks of triple-GEM chambers, forming the ME0 station, are planned for the CMS Phase 2 Upgrade.

These large-area micro-pattern gaseous detectors must operate in a challenging environment with expected background particle fluxes up to 150 kHz/cm$^2$. Unlike traditional non-resistive gaseous detectors, the rate capability of such triple-GEM detectors is limited not by space charge effects, but by voltage drops on the chamber electrodes due to avalanche-induced currents flowing through the resistive protection circuits (introduced as discharge quenchers). We present a study of the irradiation of large-area triple-GEM detectors with moderate fluxes to obtain a high integrated hit rate. The results show drops as high as 40% of the nominal detector gas gain, which would result in severe loss of tracking efficiency. We discuss possible mitigation strategies leading to a new design for the GEM foils with electrode segmentation in the radial direction, instead of the "traditional" transverse segmentation. The advantages of the new design include uniform hit rate across different sectors, minimization of gain-loss without the need for voltage compensation, and independence of detector gain on background flux shape. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2201.09021v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2201.09021v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 January, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2022. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09439">arXiv:2107.09439</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.09439">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/2107.09439">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2107.09439">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2374/1/012142">10.1088/1742-6596/2374/1/012142 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Performance of a fast timing micro-pattern gaseous detector for future collider experiments </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2107.09439v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> The fast timing MPGD is a micro-pattern gaseous detector conceived for achieving sub-nanosecond time resolution while maintaining the ability to instrument large areas in high-rate environments; applications of such technology are perspected in high-energy physics experiments at future colliders and medical diagnostics with time-of-flight methods.

This work shows the systematic studies carried on an FTM prototype on the performance of GEM foils coated with resistive DLC films, whose development is essential for the FTM operation. The resistive foil performance has been tested with several gas mixtures and compared with the results obtained on conductive foils.

The distribution of cluster size and the efficiency to reconstruct high $p_T$ muons in proton--proton collisions are presented as well as the measurement of the environmental background rate to produce hits in the GEM detector. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2107.09364v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2107.09364v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 September, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 20 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">10 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03621">arXiv:2107.03621</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.03621">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2107.03621">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/16/12/P12026">10.1088/1748-0221/16/12/P12026 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Modeling the triple-GEM detector response to background particles for the CMS Experiment </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbas%2C+M">M.

The hit rate is measured using data collected with proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV and a luminosity of 1.5$\times10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The simulation framework uses a combination of the FLUKA and Geant4 packages to obtain the hit rate. FLUKA provides the radiation environment around the GE1/1 chambers, which is comprised of the particle flux with momentum direction and energy spectra ranging from $10^{-11}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for neutrons, $10^{-3}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for $纬$'s, $10^{-2}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for $e^{\pm}$, and $10^{-1}$ to $10^{4}$ MeV for charged hadrons. Geant4 provides an estimate of detector response (sensitivity) based on an accurate description of detector geometry, material composition and interaction of particles with the various detector layers. The MC simulated hit rate is estimated as a function of the perpendicular distance from the beam line and agrees with data within the assigned uncertainties of 10-14.5%. This simulation framework can be used to obtain a reliable estimate of background rates expected at the High Luminosity LHC. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2107.03621v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2107.03621v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 8 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">16 pages, 9 figures, 6 tables</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.09505">arXiv:2009.09505</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.09505">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2009.09505">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/12/P12019">10.1088/1748-0221/15/12/P12019 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Interstrip Capacitances of the Readout Board used in Large Triple-GEM Detectors for the CMS Muon Upgrade </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbas%2C+M">M.

The main goal of the study is to find configurations that minimize the interstrip capacitances and consequently maximize the signal-to-noise ratio for the detector. We find agreement at the 1.5--4.8% level between the two methods of calculations and on the average at the 17% level between calculations and measurements. A configuration with halved strip lengths and doubled strip widths results in a measured 27--29% reduction over the original configuration while leaving the total number of strips unchanged. We have now adopted this design modification for all eight module types of the GE2/1 detector and will produce the final detector with this new strip design. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2009.09505v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2009.09505v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 September, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">22 pages, 14 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> 2020 JINST 15 P12019 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08661">arXiv:2002.08661</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.08661">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2002.08661">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/04/C04011">10.1088/1748-0221/15/04/C04011 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A UV laser test bench for micro-pattern gaseous detectors </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pellecchia%2C+A">Antonello Pellecchia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Ranieri%2C+A">Antonio Ranieri</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Verwilligen%2C+P">Piet Verwilligen</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2002.08661v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> UV lasers for the calibration of gaseous detectors have seen newfound employment with current-generation micro-pattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs), especially those devices not suitable for tests with traditional sources (e.g. cosmic rays or X-ray beams) by design constraints.

Thanks to the application of thin resistive films such as Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) a new detector concept was conceived: Fast Timing MPGD (FTM). In the FTM the drift volume of the detector has been divided in several layers each with their own amplification structure. The use of resistive electrodes makes the entire structure transparent for electrical signals. After some first initial encouraging results, progress has been slowed down due to problems with the wet-etching of DLC-coated polyimide foils. To solve these problems a more in-depth knowledge of the internal stress of the DLC together with the DLC-polyimide adhesion is required. We will report on the production of DLC films produced in Italy with Ion Beam Sputtering and Pulsed Laser Deposition, where we are searching to improve the adhesion of the thin DLC films, combined with a very high uniformity of the resistivity values. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1907.13559v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1907.13559v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 31 July, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">MPGD2019 proceedings, presented by Piet Verwilligen</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04291">arXiv:1606.04291</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.04291">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1606.04291">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/11/09/C09017">10.1088/1748-0221/11/09/C09017 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> R&D towards the CMS RPC Phase-2 upgrade </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fagot%2C+A">A.

In the present study, we constructed real-sized double-gap and four-gap RPCs with gap thicknesses of 1.6 and 0.8 mm, respectively, with 2-mm-thick phenolic high-pressure-laminated (HPL) plates. We examined the prototype RPCs for cosmic rays and 100 GeV muons provided by the SPS H4 beam line at CERN. We applied maximum gamma rates of 1.5 kHz cm-2 provided by 137Cs sources at Korea University and the GIF++ irradiation facility installed at the SPS H4 beam line to examine the rate capabilities of the prototype RPCs. In contrast to the case of the four-gap RPCs, we found the relatively high threshold was conducive to effectively suppressing the rapid increase of strip cluster sizes of muon hits with high voltage, especially when measuring the narrow-pitch strips. The gamma-induced currents drawn in the four-gap RPC were about one-fourth of those drawn in the double-gap RPC. The rate capabilities of both RPC types, proven through the present testing using gamma-ray sources, far exceeded the maximum rate expected in the new high-畏 endcap RPCs planned for future phase-II LHC runs. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1605.00440v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1605.00440v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 May, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 2 May, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2016. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Conference proceeding for the 2016 Resistive Plate Chambers and Related Detectors 8 pages, 9 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.08529">arXiv:1512.08529</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.08529">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1512.08529">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1512.08529">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A novel application of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in MPGD </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbaneo%2C+D">D.

The GE1/1 CMS project consists of 144 GEM chambers of about 0.5 m2 active area each, employing three GEM foils per chamber, to be installed in the forward region of the CMS endcap during the long shutdown of LHC in 2108-2019. The large active area of each GE1/1 chamber consists of GEM foils that are mechanically stretched in order to secure their flatness and the consequent uniform performance of the GE1/1 chamber across its whole active surface. So far FBGs have been used in high energy physics mainly as high precision positioning and re-positioning sensors and as low cost, easy to mount, low space consuming temperature sensors. FBGs are also commonly used for very precise strain measurements in material studies. In this work we present a novel use of FBGs as flatness and mechanical tensioning sensors applied to the wide GEM foils of the GE1/1 chambers. A network of FBG sensors have been used to determine the optimal mechanical tension applied and to characterise the mechanical tension that should be applied to the foils. We discuss the results of the test done on a full-sized GE1/1 final prototype, the studies done to fully characterise the GEM material, how this information was used to define a standard assembly procedure and possible future developments. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1512.08529v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1512.08529v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 December, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2015. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">4 pages, 4 figures, presented by Luigi Benussi at MPGD 2015 (Trieste, Italy). arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1512.08481</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Report number:</span> INFN-15-10/LNF </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.08481">arXiv:1512.08481</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.08481">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1512.08481">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1512.08481">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2016.01.059">10.1016/j.nima.2016.01.059 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors as flatness and mechanical stretching sensors </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abbaneo%2C+D">D.

Its first implementation is planned for the GE1/1 system in the $1.5 < \mid畏\mid < 2.2$ region of the muon endcap mainly to control muon level-1 trigger rates after the second long LHC shutdown. A GE1/1 triple-GEM detector is read out by 3,072 radial strips with 455 $渭$rad pitch arranged in eight $畏$-sectors. We assembled a full-size GE1/1 prototype of 1m length at Florida Tech and tested it in 20-120 GeV hadron beams at Fermilab using Ar/CO$_{2}$ 70:30 and the RD51 scalable readout system. Four small GEM detectors with 2-D readout and an average measured azimuthal resolution of 36 $渭$rad provided precise reference tracks. Construction of this largest GEM detector built to-date is described. Strip cluster parameters, detection efficiency, and spatial resolution are studied with position and high voltage scans. The plateau detection efficiency is [97.1 $\pm$ 0.2 (stat)]\%. The azimuthal resolution is found to be [123.5 $\pm$ 1.6 (stat)] $渭$rad when operating in the center of the efficiency plateau and using full pulse height information. The resolution can be slightly improved by $\sim$ 10 $渭$rad when correcting for the bias due to discrete readout strips. The CMS upgrade design calls for readout electronics with binary hit output. When strip clusters are formed correspondingly without charge-weighting and with fixed hit thresholds, a position resolution of [136.8 $\pm$ 2.5 stat] $渭$rad is measured, consistent with the expected resolution of strip-pitch/$\sqrt{12}$ = 131.3 $渭$rad. Other $畏$-sectors of the detector show similar response and performance. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1412.0228v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1412.0228v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 8 December, 2014; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 30 November, 2014; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2014. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">8 pages, 32 figures, submitted to Proc. 2014 IEEE Nucl.

An algorithm based on the parametrization of RPC efficiency, noise, cluster size and timing for every strip has been developed. Experimental data obtained from cosmic and proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV have been used for determination of the parameters. A dedicated validation procedure has been developed. A good agreement between the simulated and experimental data has been achieved. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1301.6978v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1301.6978v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 January, 2013; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2013. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">to be published in JINST</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1210.1819">arXiv:1210.1819</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1210.1819">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1210.1819">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1210.1819">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/8/03/T03008">10.1088/1748-0221/8/03/T03008 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A study of gas contaminants and interaction with materials in RPC closed loop systems </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Colafranceschi%2C+S">S.

This note presents results of the RPC detector uniformity and stability during the 2011 data taking period, and preliminary results obtained with 2012 data. The detector uniformity has been ensured with a dedicated High Voltage scan with LHC collisions, in order to determine the optimal operating working voltage of each individual RPC chamber installed in CMS. Emphasis is given on the procedures and results of the High Voltage calibration. Moreover, an increased detector stability has been obtained by automatically taking into account temperature and atmospheric pressure variations in the CMS cavern. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1209.1989v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1209.1989v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 10 September, 2012; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2012. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Plenary talk presented at RPC2012.

They mainly serve as trigger detectors and also improve the reconstruction of muon parameters. Over the years, the instantaneous luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider gradually increases. During the LHC Phase 1 (~first 10 years of operation) an ultimate luminosity is expected above its design value of 10^34/cm^2/s at 14 TeV. To prepare the machine and also the experiments for this, two long shutdown periods are scheduled for 2013-2014 and 2018-2019. The CMS Collaboration is planning several detector upgrades during these long shutdowns. In particular, the muon detection system should be able to maintain a low-pT threshold for an efficient Level-1 Muon Trigger at high particle rates. One of the measures to ensure this, is to extend the present RPC system with the addition of a 4th layer in both endcap regions. During the first long shutdown, these two new stations will be equipped in the region |eta|<1.6 with 144 High Pressure Laminate (HPL) double-gap RPCs operating in avalanche mode, with a similar design as the existing CMS endcap chambers. Here, we present the upgrade plans for the CMS RPC system for the fist long shutdown, including trigger simulation studies for the extended system, and details on the new HPL production, the chamber assembly and the quality control procedures. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1209.1979v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1209.1979v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 10 September, 2012; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2012. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">9 pages, 6 figures, presented by M.Tytgat at the XI workshop on Resistive Plate Chambers and Related Detectors (RPC2012), INFN - Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, February 5-10, 2012</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1209.1941">arXiv:1209.1941</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1209.1941">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/8/04/P04005">10.1088/1748-0221/8/04/P04005 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> CMS Resistive Plate Chamber overview, from the present system to the upgrade phase I </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Paolucci%2C+P">P.
