HL-LHC and future colliders call for more sophisticated experimental technologies. CERN has launched a process to define its R&D programme on new experimental technologies from 2020 onwards.
by Francis Anghinolfi and Federico Faccio (EP-ESE)
RADECS (RADiation Effects on Components and Systems) the yearly European conference in the field of radiation effects in electronics devices and systems was held in Geneva.
The 3rd workshop on medical applications of spectroscopic X-ray detectors took place at CERN from 20-23 April covering a number of CERN-related topics.
The new CMS Timing and Control Distribution System (TCDS) has been designed, built and installed in CMS during the first Long Shutdown (LS1) of the LHC and is now routinely used to control CMS data-taking.
ESE has three families of activities: services, developments and/or maintenance for specific experiments or projects and developments of components of general interest and in 2014 important progress has been made on all fronts.

The recently formed RD53 collaboration will address the challenges of phase 2 pixel detector upgrades of ATLAS and CMS as well as long-term challenges for LCD.
The history of microelectronics at CERN, initiated thanks to the LAA project, provides important lessons as we are now starting to exploit new science and new technologies
