The world's largest scientific apparatus the 27 km long LHC is performing investigations into the fundamental building blocks of nature. For the second phase of the LHC improved detectors are needed that can cope with an increased number of particle collisions. The highest precision elements of the detectors that measure these collisions are known as pixel detectors. The UK has been at the forefront of vertex detector technology for over 20 years, and this proposal aims to retain this UK lead. This project aims to construct a small element of a pixel detector that will demonstrate the feasibility of making larger detectors for the LHC upgrade. This element, or pixel tile, can then be connected with others to produce the detector required for any of the new experiments at the LHC. The project is particularly aimed at two of these detectors, ATLAS - the largest detector at the LHC, searching for the direct production of new particles and LHCb - the LHC experiment studying anti-matter and rare processes to find physics effects from beyond the known standard model of particle physics.

世界上最大的科学仪器，27公里长的大型强子对撞机正在对自然界的基本组成部分进行调查。对于LHC的第二阶段，需要改进的探测器，以科普更多的粒子碰撞。测量这些碰撞的检测器的最高精度元件被称为像素检测器。20多年来，英国一直处于顶点探测器技术的最前沿，该提案旨在保持英国的领先地位。该项目旨在构建一个像素探测器的小元件，以证明为LHC升级制造更大探测器的可行性。然后，这个元件或像素块可以与其他元件连接，以产生LHC任何新实验所需的探测器。该项目特别针对其中的两个探测器，ATLAS -大型强子对撞机最大的探测器，寻找新粒子的直接生产和LHCb -大型强子对撞机实验研究反物质和罕见的过程，以发现粒子物理学已知标准模型之外的物理效应。
