Dynamics of hot QCD matter 2024 — new facilities and instrumentation

This part of the conference proceeding provides a detailed overview of cutting-edge advancements in detector technologies, focusing on their optimization, characterization and applications in particle physics experiments. Building on the insights and developments presented at the Hot QCD Matter 2022 conference, 1 this section of the Hot QCD Matter 2024 proceedings highlights significant advancements in detector technologies. The development of Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) into Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors is explored, demonstrating their potential for superior timing resolution in future high-energy experiments. Simulation studies of Micropattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs), including MICRO MEsh GAseous Structure (Micromegas) and Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, provide insights into their performance under high-radiation environments using tools like Ansys and Garfield[Formula: see text]. A novel GEM foil geometry is proposed for improved gain and durability. Characterization of semiconductor detectors, such as Monolithic MALTA pixel detectors and CMS prototype silicon sensors, is also presented, highlighting their radiation tolerance, imaging capabilities and structural integrity. These studies underscore the critical role of silicon sensors in ensuring detector reliability and performance. Additionally, the J-PARC muon g-2/EDM experiment is reviewed, showcasing its precision measurements to test Standard Model predictions and explore potential physics beyond. By addressing the interplay between detector development, simulation and characterization, this proceeding showcases a collective effort toward advancing detector technologies and their pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of modern particle physics.
