Date: Wednesday 24 July 2019 Speaker: Steve McMahon (RAL/PPD) Title: "Charged particle tracking in colliding beam experiments" I will give a pedagogical introduction to the design, development and operation of charged particle tracking systems in large colliding beam experiments. Nowadays this means a system based around silicon technology, where the RAL-PPD group has a long history and expertise accross multiple experiments. The material will be pitched at the newcomer to the subject with a lot of opportunities to ask questions and engage in discussion.
