Thermal design of an ejector-supported cycle using krypton for cooling of particle detector accelerators / Contiero, Luca (CERN ; Norwegian U. Sci. Tech.) ; Banasiak, Krzysztof (Norwegian U. Sci. Tech. ; SINTEF, Oslo) ; Verlaat, Bart (CERN) ; Hafner, Armin (Norwegian U. Sci. Tech.) ; Försterling, Sven (Unlisted, DE) ; Allouche, Yosr (Norwegian U. Sci. Tech.)
According to the High-Luminosity plan (HL-LHC) the Large Hadron Collider will be upgraded to further extend physics discoveries (2033–2034). The increase of the luminosity is followed by an increase of the radiation damage on the silicon sensors used to detect those particles, which they must be preserved from the thermal runaway after which the sensors reach electrical breakdown.

Influence of Crystal Fiber Inhomogeneity on the Energy Resolution of a Sampling Electromagnetic Calorimeter / Roux, Louis (CERN ; ILM, Lyon) ; Martinazzoli, Loris (CERN) ; PIzzichemi, Marco (CERN ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Dujardin, Christophe (IUF, Paris ; ILM, Lyon) ; Auffray, Etiennette (CERN)
Sampling electromagnetic calorimeters (ECALs) are widely used in high-energy physics (HEP) experiments, thanks to their ability to efficiently measure electromagnetic particles’ energy over a broad dynamic range while maintaining good energy resolution. These detectors alternate passive layers made of dense absorber materials, with active layers, such as scintillators. [...]
