Abstract :
At the CERN Large Hadron Collider bunches of high energy protons (and ions) collide at the heart of 4 massive experiments. Hybrid pixel detectors identify and tag individual particle tracks helping physicists to select the handful of interesting events from the millions created per second. Applications beyond LHC will also be described.
