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.
