“…High precision charged particle tracking in large volumes requires complex systems, sometimes with more than half a million read-out channels [129]. In addition to collecting charge, recording detector information using electro-optical means is also possible by detecting the fluorescence light produced in the avalanche amplification region [130,131] of gas-based detectors.…”

Developments in quantum technologies in the last decades have led to a wide range of applications, but have also resulted in numerous novel approaches to explore the low energy particle physics parameter space. The potential for applications of quantum technologies to high energy particle physics endeavors has however not yet been investigated to the same extent. In this paper, we propose a number of areas where specific approaches built on quantum systems such as low-dimensional systems (quantum dots, 2D atomic layers) or manipulations of ensembles of quantum systems (single atom or polyatomic systems in detectors or on detector surfaces) might lead to improved high energy particle physics detectors, specifically in the areas of calorimetry, tracking or timing.

“…The graphical output of the tool is shown in Figure 4 for illustrative purposes. In this example, the dependencies of the common-mode effect (see Section 3) for the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM)-based TPC [9] are studied using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm [10]. The tool allows for interactive visualization of eight parameters as sliders below the plots.…”

The ALICE experiment at CERN has undergone a major upgrade during the Long Shutdown 2 of the LHC during 2019-2021. A key element is the installation of the new Inner Tracking System 2 (ITS2). The new ITS2 based on CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors will significantly improve the impact parameter resolution and the tracking efficiency, especially for particles with low transverse momenta, as well as the readout-rate capability. In the following, the upgrade and its commissioning status as well installation status will be outlined.
