The ongoing project of ALICE 3 for LHC Run 5 and beyond envisages a Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector for high-energy charged particle identification. This detector employs an aerogel radiator in proximity-focusing configuration and Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays, with a high-refractive index window for improving the timing capabilities.

Future high-energy and nuclear physics experiments require advanced particle gaseous detectors with exceptional tracking and timing performance, capable of operating in harsh environments. The μ-RWELL, a single-stage resistive Micro-Pattern-Gaseous-Detector (MPGD), developed by some of the authors in 2014, achieves gas gains of ∼2×104, ∼100μm spatial resolution, and 5–6ns time resolution.

Study on discharge and short circuit generation in CMS GE1/1 triple-GEM detectors during Run 3
/ CMS GEM Group of the Collaboration
The installation of the new GE1/1 station of Gas ElectronMultiplier (GEM) detectors in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)experiment was completed during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) phase ofthe Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The GE1/1 station has beenoperational in the CMS detector since the beginning of the Run-3data-taking phase, and for the first time the GEM technology wasdeployed on a large scale, comprised of 144 chambers and tested inrunning conditions as integral part of the CMS data acquisition,reconstruction, and analysis chain.

Development of a novel compact and fast SiPM-based RICH detector for the future ALICE 3 PID system at LHC
/ Mazziotta, M N (INFN, Bari) ; Altamura, A R (INFN, Bari) ; Congedo, L (INFN, Bari) ; De Robertis, G (INFN, Bari) ; Di Mauro, A (CERN) ; Guerra-Pulido, J O (Mexico U., ICN) ; Licciulli, F (INFN, Bari) ; Lorusso, L (INFN, Bari ; Bari Polytechnic) ; Martinengo, P (CERN) ; Nappi, E (INFN, Bari) et al.
A dedicated R&D; is ongoing for the charged particle identification system of the ALICE 3 experiment proposed for the LHC Run 5 and beyond.One of the subsystems for the high-energy charged particle identification will be a Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector.The possibility of integrating Cherenkov-based charged particle timing measurements is currently under study.The proposed system is based on a proximity-focusing RICH configuration including an aerogel radiator separated from a SiPM array layer by an expansion gap. A thin high-refractive index window of transparent material, acting as a second Cherenkov radiator, is glued on the SiPM array to enable time-of-flight measurements of charged particles by exploiting the yield of Cherenkov photons in the thin window.We assembled a small-scale prototype instrumented with different Hamamatsu SiPM array sensors with pitches ranging from 1 to 3 mm, readout by custom boards equipped with the front-end Petiroc 2A ASICs to measure charges and times.The primary Cherenkov radiator consisted of a 2 cm thick aerogel tile, while various window materials, including SiO$_{2}$ and MgF$_{2}$, were used as secondary Cherenkov radiators.The prototype was successfully tested in a campaign at the CERN PS T10 beam line with pions and protons.

Aeronautics) ; Barbero, M B (Marseille, CPPM) ; Barillon, P (Marseille, CPPM) ; Beccherle, R (INFN, Pisa) ; Bilei, G M (INFN, Perugia ; Perugia U.) ; Bjalas, W (CERN) ; Bonaldo, S (INFN, Padua ; Padua U.) ; Bortoletto, D (Oxford U.) et al.
The Phase-2 upgrades at the High-Luminosity LHC of ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN will require a new tracker with readout electronics operating in extremely harsh radiation environment (1 Grad), high hit rate (3.5 GHz/cm2) and high data rate readout (5 Gb/s). The RD53 collaboration is a joint effort between the ATLAS and CMS to qualify the chosen 65 nm CMOS technology in high radiation environment and develop the pixel readout chips of both experiments.

In the context of the CERN EP R&D; on monolithic sensors and the ALICE ITS3 upgrade, the Tower Partners Semiconductor Co (TPSCo) 65 nm process has been qualified for use in high energy physics, and adopted for the ALICE ITS3 upgrade. An Analog Pixel Test Structure (APTS) featuring fast per pixel operational-amplifier-based buffering for a small matrix of four by four pixels, with a sensor with a small collection electrode and a very non-uniform electric field, was designed to allow detailed characterization of the pixel performance in this technology.
