Experiments are being prepared at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider that promise to deliver extraordinary insights into the nature of spontaneous symmetry breaking, and the role of supersymmetry in the universe. This article reviews the goals, challenges, and designs of these experiments. The first hadron collider, the ISR at CERN, has to overcome two initial obstacles. The first was low luminosity, which steadily improved over time. The second was the broad angular spread of interesting events. In this regard Maurice Jacob noted (1): The answer is ... sophisticated detectors covering at least the whole central region (45{degree} {le} {theta} {le} 135{degree}) and full azimuth. This statement, while obvious today, reflects the major revelation of the ISR period that hadrons have partonic substructure. The result was an unexpectedly strong hadronic yield at large transverse momentum (p{sub T}). Partly because of this, the ISR missed the discovery of the J/{psi} and later missed the {Upsilon}. The ISR era was therefore somewhat less auspicious than it might have been. It did however make important contributions in areas such as jet production and charm excitation and it paved the way for the SPS collider, also at CERN.

Hadron collider detectors

This proposal requests beam time at Fermilab during the 1999 Fixed-Target Run to test Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond microstrip and pixel detectors. Our research in this area began nearly a decade ago when we realized that CVD diamond is a promising, radiation-hard alternative to silicon. Our work has been funded by DOE, TNRLC, and NSF; we are currently funded by an NSF MRI grant. Below we detail what we expect to accomplish in beam tests of diamond detectors as well as what resources are required.
