Forward Pixel Detector for the Phase 2 Upgrade of CMS And Module Testing at UIC

Abstract

High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade aims to increase performance. In order to efficiently handle the larger particle flux and increased radiation, an upgrade is planned for the inner Tracker of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, which is located at the innermost part of the CMS. To efficiently reconstruct and track particles, the existing pixel tracker will be upgraded with novel sensors, readout chips, and front-end electronics designed to handle increased data rates. These improvements will allow the detector to track particles more precisely. In the United States, we are working on assembling new sensor modules to be inserted into disks, referred to as TFPX, for installation in the CMS detector for the HL-LHC era. We are currently testing the prototype of TFPX modules to ensure the upgrade is carried out in the best way possible. The University of Ilinois Chicago has been tasked with testing the final versions of the TFPX sensor modules before they are sent to CERN to be installed into the CMS detector. This work is supported by NSF.
