To prove these points, timing measurements were performed on a hexagonal-shaped detector similar to the one shown in Fig. 9.4 connected to a fast amplifier with a 1.5 ns risetime [21]. The operating temperature was 20°C. Figure 9.5 shows a scatterplot of the timing error (dt) versus pulse height and, on the top and right-side axes, the projected distributions of each. The median and average values are 129 and 155 ps, and there is clear pulse-height dependence. More recently, 3D sensors were connected to faster amplifiers where average responses below 100 ps are expected. More optimized designs for 3D sensors, readout electronics, and fast tracking algorithms promise even better resolutions with pixel systems [22]. As already pointed out, further applications include possible upgrades of the CERN LHC LHCb experiment, which plans to unravel the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe among the rest.
New frontiers in computing and data analysis – the European perspectives

The high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) (the upgrade of LHC) will support the investigation of the properties of the Higgs boson and its couplings to other particles. The ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) (5) and CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) (6) experiments will continue to make measurements in the Higgs sector and will search for new physics beyond the standard model (BSM). The LHCb experiment will study various aspects of heavy flavor physics (b- and c-quark, and tau-lepton physics) to investigate the BSM physics. The study of neutrinos, their mass and oscillations, will also shed light on matter–antimatter asymmetry. These experimental programs require large investments in detector hardware to support building new facilities and experiments and to upgrade LHC in a new generation phase of high luminosity.
