22 - 24 October, 2024
Introduction
The Experimental High Energy Physics (EHEP) department at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad is organizing a workshop aimed at providing a platform for the Pakistani high- energy physics community, particularly young students and researchers, to learn and discuss the latest developments on tracking detector technologies and their applications in high-energy physics experiments.
The EHEP department is actively involved in the Phase-II upgrade project of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) tracker. CMS is one of the experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest accelerator located at CERN on the border of Switzerland and France. NCP is one of six certified centers for silicon sensors qualification and one of the eight centers for silicon module assembly and testing. It is also the only center responsible for TB2S ladder assembly and qualification within the CMS tracker collaboration. A dedicated laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation has been established at NCP.
The CMS tracker will precisely measure the trajectories and momenta of charged particles resulting from proton-proton collisions at the center of the CMS experiment. This workshop will also delve into recent progress and future prospects of tracking detectors.
