Synopsis

Too often descriptions of detectors focus on the what and not the why. This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector environment. In turn, the detector choices are made to adopt to that environment. The goal of LHC physics is to explore the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking. Because of the minuscule cross-sections which need to be explored, 0.1 fb, the LHC needs to provide 100 fb-1/yr, or an instantaneous luminosity of 1034 / (cm2 sec). With a bunch crossing interval of 25 nsec, well matched to detector speeds, there will be 25 events occupying each bunch crossing. Thus the physics requires fast, finely segmented, low noise and radiation resistant detectors which provide redundant measurements of the rarely produced electrons and muons. To achieve those goals, new ground was broken in constructing the A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS) and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detectors in the vertex detectors, tracking systems, calorimetry, strong magnets, muon systems, front end electronics, trigger systems, and in the data acquisition methods used.

Revue de presse

This book follows a new concept, which makes it unique and interesting to read ... The actual technological choices made by the collaborations to address the physics at the LHC are outlined by subsequent well-written and illustrated contributions from 22 prominent scientists, engineers, experts and leaders responsible for the detector subsystems of ATLAS and CMS. The book contributes in an impressive way towards understanding the motivation behind specific choices, and towards learning about the risks and the courage required to tackle necessary technological developments ... this book should be on the shelf of all friends of the LHC. It represents a nicely balanced record of the historical developments, technical challenges and scientific background, and packed with photos of the LHC machine and its two major general-purpose detectors, ATLAS and CMS, taken during construction and assembly.
--CERN Courier

This is a penetrating description and analysis of the major LHC experiments and their implementation, from the point of view of their physical, technical, and other requirements, with specific reference to electronics, 'digital' infrastructure of the experiment and microtechnology. It is also a detailed depiction of the architecture and engineering of the detectors. It is aimed at physicists and graduates in particle physics, as well as any engineer who is interested in the LHC. This is a collective work, written by 22 scientists, engineers, and leaders of the experiments in question. Thus, it contains the best possible information on the subject. --Contemporary Physics
