Triggering and data acquisition in High-Energy Physics, even in pretty simple cases, require a mixture of electronics, detector and software competences. Indeed, asynchronous signal handling may present critical issues in both digitization and trigger generation. As a function of the experimental conditions, the physics results may suffer from problems, for example, in signal-to-noise...

With their ability to measure neutral particles, calorimeters are one of the most important components in particle physics detectors. They play a crucial role for the reconstruction of single particles and jets as well as event quantities like missing transverse momentum. Recently, calorimeters with high granularity have been developed that are essential for a very good jet energy...

Tracking devices are the tool to reconstruct the trajectories of charged particles and play a central role in the reconstruction of whole events in complex multi-purpose detectors. Excellent tracking is crucial for many physics analysis at the LHC, e.g. the identification of b-quarkjets typically utilises tracking information. To optimise the performance of tracking systems, one has to study...

10. Overview: Basics of timing measurements

Precise measurement of the time of arrival of ionizing particles can be useful in High Energy Physics experiments, for example in high pile-up environments (4D tracking), like for the future generations of colliders, or for particle identification using the time of flight. More precise detectors are also useful outside the HEP community, for instance to increase the accuracy of PET, reducing...
