Description
The MIP Timing Detector (MTD) for the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment is designed as the timing detector for the HL-LHC era to mitigate the effects of high pile-up using 4-dimensional spatial information. Precise timing information from the MTD will improve the quality of physics analysis, particularly through particle identification in the low-momentum region, especially with data from heavy-ion collisions. For the forward region, a technique based on Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) sensors paired with the Endcap Timing Read-Out Chip (ETROC) ASIC has been selected. Many Korean institutes and fabrication facilities will contribute to the manufacturing effort, focusing on the post-processing of LGAD sensors. In this presentation, the current status of the MTD project will be presented, with emphasis on the contributions of the Korean group.
