10. ATLAS and CMS, general purpose experiments 24.5.2015P. Eerola10 Research target is ”everything”: search for new particles/phenomena, high-precision measurements of know particles/phenomena Many different kinds of detectors, many (O(100M)) electronic channels Large so-called dynamic range: measure energies and momenta O(100 MeV)  several TeV. Large solid angle coverage. Position resolution O(10  m), diameter 10-25 m, length 25-40 m

13. Next generation: linear colliders CLIC – Compact Linear Collider (40 km?) R&D already ongoing – will require new solutions from many fields: For example coating of radiofrequency cavities – basic material science – research project at HIP (K. Nordlund, F. Djurabekova et al Currently HIP involvement in ISOLDE (nuclear ph.), CLOUD (atmospheric+particle ph.) 24.5.2015P. Eerola, AFO13 Plus...there will be many smaller scale experiments in other fields requiring also innovative solutions...
