New Ultra-Fast Particle Detector Could Help Unmask Dark Matter
Physicists on the CMS experiment at CERN are installing a new ultra‑fast timing detector that can measure particle arrival times with 30‑picosecond precision—roughly the distance light travels in a centimeter. The system combines about 10,000 crystal sensors in a barrel and ultra‑thin silicon wafers with a novel gain layer that amplifies tiny signals. By resolving collisions to within a few centimeters in time, the detector will help differentiate slow‑moving, long‑lived particles that could belong to the dark sector from ordinary Standard Model debris. The upgrade is timed for the High‑Luminosity LHC, where collision rates will surge five‑fold.
