Too often descriptions of detectors focus on the 'what' and not the
'why'. This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the
physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector
environment. In turn, the detector choices are made to adopt to
that environment. The goal of LHC physics is to explore the
mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking. Because of the
minuscule cross-sections which need to be explored, 0.1 fb, the LHC
needs to provide 100 fb-1/yr, or an instantaneous luminosity of
1034 / (cm2 sec). With a bunch crossing interval of 25 nsec, well
matched to detector speeds, there will be 25 events occupying each
bunch crossing.Thus the physics requires fast, finely segmented,
low noise and radiation resistant detectors which provide redundant
measurements of the rarely produced electrons and muons. To achieve
those goals, new ground was broken in constructing the A Toroidal
LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS) and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detectors in
the vertex detectors, tracking systems, calorimetry, strong
magnets, muon systems, front end electronics, trigger systems, and
in the data acquisition methods used.
