Sumario: | To optimise performance with the higher luminosity, higher beam energy and shorter bunch spacing of 25\,ns at the LHC after 2014, an upgrade program is performed for the detectors to measure the luminosity and machine induced background.
A new detector is the pixel luminosity telescope consisting of 8 telescopes, equipped with silicon pixel sensors, on both ends of the interactions point (IP). The Fast Beam Conditions Monitoring system, using diamond sensors, is upgraded to 24 sensors, 12 on each end of the IP. In addition, dedicated fast ASICs produced in 130 nm commercial CMOS technology and dead-time free backend electronics using FPGAs for fast signal processing are being developed and built. Also, the part of the forward HCAL used for the luminosity measurement is instrumented with new readout electronics, in microTCA standards. The machine induced background measurement will be supported by a new system of direction sensitive quartz Cherenkov counters, with excellent time resolution.
A data acquisition architecture is being developed that is common for all subsystems and allows for synchronization across different hardware. The design of the new system will be presented, and a report will be given on the performance of each subsystem measured in several test-beam campaigns
and prototype operation in the last LHC run. |
