Channeling radiation is an appealing radiation process to produce X-ray radiation with low energy electron beams. We plan to use our novel photo and field emission cathodes to generate very small emittance electron beams to make channeling radiation X-ray sources. In this contribution we discuss the anticipated performance and construction status of a channeling radiation experiment to produce...

The CMS pixel detector is a tracking device located closest to the interaction point. The present detector was designed for a maximum luminosity of 1×10^34 cm^−2s^−1. Following the Phase 1 upgrade of the LHC, the peak luminosity is foreseen to reach 2×10^34 cm^−2s^−1 or higher. Due to the radiation damage and significant data losses in the readout chip, the present pixel system must be...

The CMS pixel detector is an all-silicon tracking device located
closest to the interaction point. Following the first long shut down
of the LHC, in order to maintain the high performance of the tracker,
the pixel detectors must be upgraded to handle the increased amounts
of event pileup. One of the components of the upgrade is the forward
pixel detector, which uses a High Density...

At the core of the CMS all-silicon tracking system is the silicon pixel detector, comprising three barrel layers and two pixel disks in the forward and backward regions, accounting for a total of 66 million channels. The pixel detector provides high-resolution 3D coordinates of the tracks produced in high energy pp collisions. Under the combined action of electric and magnetic fields, the...
