HEPD participation in the LHC projects:
|
 A new stage in high energy physics is related with construction
of Large Hadron Collider at CERN for proton-proton collisions
(8 TeV+8 TeV). The beginning of LHC operation is scheduled for 2007.
HEP Division participates in the
design and construction of the all 4 major detectors for LHC: ATLAS,CMS, ALICE, LHCb.
Participation in
ATLAS project.
ATLAS is a general purpose collider detector at LHC.
HEP Division participates in construction of the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) which is a part of the ATLAS Inner Detector. The main contribution of PNPI will be construction of 50 four-plane End Cap TRT modules containing 150000 straw tubes.
Participation in CMS project.
CMS is a general purpose collider detector at LHC.
HEP Division participates in construction of the End Cap Muon System of the CMS Detector. PNPI should build 120 six-plane Muon Chambers containing about 500000 anode wires.
Also, HEPD is involved in development of the chamber electronics, the multi-channel high voltage system, and the muon trigger system.
 .
Participation in ALICE project.
ALICE detector is dedicated for search
of quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions at LHC.
HEPD is involved in R&D and construction of proportional
chambers with cathode readout for End Cap Muon System
of ALICE detector.
Participation in LHCb project.
LHCb detector should focus on problems of CP-violation physics
with b-quarks.
HEPD proposed and carried out R&D of the Muon System
approved by the LHCb Collaboration. HEPD should build
600 four-layers muon chambers.
