Abstract This Letter of Intent presents a plan for preserving and improving the current
detection capabilities of the ATLAS detector to meet the challenges and take advantage of …

The CMS experiment [1] at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) includes a silicon pixel
detector as the innermost part of the tracking system. The pixel detector provides 3 …

The LHCb experiment will be upgraded between 2018 and 2019 in order to reach
unprecedented precision on the main observable of the b and c-quark sectors. This …

The CMS detector at the CERN LHC features a silicon pixel detector as its innermost
subdetector. The original CMS pixel detector has been replaced with an upgraded pixel …

The LHCb upgrade will take place in the second long shutdown of the LHC, currently
scheduled to begin in 2018. The upgrade will enable the experiment to run at luminosities of …

Optical data transmission will remain a key enabling technology for the upgrading detectors
at HL-LHC. In particular the inner tracking detectors will require low-mass, radiation tolerant …

The ATLAS experiment at CERN is planning full deployment of a new unified optical link
technology for connecting detector front end electronics on the timescale of the LHC Run 4 …

Abstract The Versatile Link PLUS project targets the phase II upgrades of the ATLAS and
CMS experiments. It will develop a radiation resistant optical link, operating at up to 10 Gb/s …

Neutron and pion irradiation and annealing data from semiconductor lasers and
photodiodes for use in 10 Gb/s datalinks are presented. These components are found to be …
