Evolution of Silicon Sensor Technology in Particle Physics

Dr. Frank Hartmann is a member of the detector group at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. He headed the CMS Tracker project for eight years, serving as project manager or deputy project manager. Currently, he coordinates the entire CMS Upgrade for the High-Luminosity LHC. Additionally, he teaches physics and detector science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
