24 - 28 October, 2022
The Experimental High Energy Physics (EHEP) department of CoE Physics at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad is organising this workshop aimed at providing a forum for the Pakistani high energy physics community particularly the young students and researchers to learn and discuss the latest updates on the tracking detector technologies and its applications in the high energy physics experiments.
The EHEP department is actively involved in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) tracker phase-II upgrade project. The CMS is one of the experiments of the world's largest accelerator called Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, which is located at the border of Switzerland and France. The NCP is one of six certified centres for silicon sensor qualification and one of the ten centres for module assembly worldwide within the CMS tracker collaboration. A dedicated laboratory has been built at NCP which consists of state-of-the-art instrumentations. The CMS tracker will measure the trajectories and momenta of charged particles produced as a result of proton-proton collisions at the center of the CMS experiment. This workshop will also cover the recent progress and future aspects of CMS tracking detectors.
