Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be upgraded in several phases that will allow significant expansion of its physics program. The final luminosity of the accelerator is expected to exceed 5 × 1034cm−2s−1, five times more than the original design value. The CMS muon system must be able to sustain a physics program after the increase of luminosity and maintain sensitivity for electroweak physics for TeV scale searches similar to what was achieved up to now. To cope with the corresponding increase in background rates and trigger requirements, the installation of additional sets of muon detectors based on Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology, referred to as GE2/1 and ME0, has been planned. The installation and commissioning of the GE2/1 chambers is scheduled in 2022, and for ME0 detectors are expected to be installed between 2022 to 2024. We present an overview of the Muon Spectrometer upgrade using GEM technology, a detailed description of the GE2/1 and ME0 upgrade in terms of design, pre-production chambers, mechanics, installation services etc. We will focus in particular on the novel solutions adopted for realization of the latter project, with a summary of the ongoing R&D activities
Highlights
The Compact muon solenoid (CMS) is a general purpose detector used for measuring protonproton and heavy-ions collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC)[1] at CERN
To cope with the increase in background rates and trigger requirements, the GE2/1 and ME0[5] Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors will be installed in the CMS muon spectrometer
The front-end readout chips (VFAT3) for each module are mounted on a GEM Electronics Board (GEB)
Summary
The Compact muon solenoid (CMS) is a general purpose detector used for measuring protonproton and heavy-ions collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC)[1] at CERN. It has already produced many excellent scientific results and to increase the extent of the new physics searches, a major upgrade of the LHC has been decided which is known as High Luminosity LHC (HLLHC).
