The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will be the world's highest energy particle accelerator for the foreseeable future, and the only facility capable of investigating some of the highest priority topics in fundamental physics. LHC operation will continue until at least 2035, with ever-increasing performance required from the accelerator complex in order to provide useful statistical reach and from the associated detectors. As such the CMS detector will require significant and comprehensive upgrades in order to maintain performance in the presence of much harsher conditions. The UK is leading key aspects of the upgrades to the tracking system, end-cap calorimeters and the trigger system. The common element is the development of high throughput digital electronics, and their tailoring to the three specific sub-systems mentioned above. David's PhD is focused on developments for the tracking system, and in particular for the Track Trigger and the associated 'Design, Trigger and Control' board. The work involves developing suitably powerful software and firmware, as well as algorithmic improvements to the track finding and electron identification, as well as integration tests of parts of the overall system at CERN. David will need to design and build the appropriate test set-ups.

在可预见的将来，CERN的大型强子对撞机（LHC）将成为世界上最高的能量粒子加速器，也是唯一能够研究基本物理学中一些最优先主题的设施。 LHC操作将持续到至少2035年，并需要从加速器复合物中进行不断增加的性能，以提供有用的统计范围和相关的检测器。因此，CMS探测器将需要进行大量且全面的升级，以在存在更为严峻的条件下保持绩效。英国是跟踪系统升级，端盖量热量表和触发系统的主要方面。共同的元素是开发高通量数字电子产品，以及对上面提到的三个特定子系统的量身定制。 David的博士专注于跟踪系统的发展，尤其是跟踪触发器以及相关的“设计，触发和控制”板。这项工作涉及开发适当的功能强大的软件和固件，以及对曲目查找和电子识别的算法改进，以及CERN整体系统部分的集成测试。大卫将需要设计和建造适当的测试设置。
