Sumario: | The NA61/SHINE detector, at the CERN SPS, is undergoing a major
upgrade during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 period (2019–2021). The
upgrade is essential to fulfill the requirements of a new open charm measurement
program. It is necessary to stress that this New Physics goal can
be only achieved when the readout rate will be increased by a factor of 10
and the resolution of the secondary vertex in the high multiplicity tracks
environment of Pb+Pb events will be improved. The following elements
of the experiment are parts of the upgrade: Time Projection Chambers
(TPC), Vertex Detector (VD), Beam Position Detectors (BPD), Particle
Spectator Detector (PSD), and Time-of-Flight detectors (TOF). On top of
the detectors, a new Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system is being
developed. In this contribution, the progress on design and development
of new detectors and TDAQ system for NA61/SHINE experiment will be
presented. |
