Description
Many current experiments in particle and nuclear physics are and will
be carried out at particle colliders. We will first discuss the basic
concepts and the technologies used in a modern accelerator complex,
starting from a particle source, through the injector chain, to the
accelerator used for experiments. Where relevant the Large Hadron
Collider will serve as an example.
Next, we will discuss the ideas and concepts in typical experiments at
hadron colliders. We will describe some detector types in more detail,
i.e. explain the detector physics relevant for the signal generation,
the front-end electronics used for the read-out, and the basic
algorithms used for reconstruction. LHC experiments and, in
particular, ALICE detectors will again serve as an example where
useful.
