Detector technologies

Face-Shield Production in EP-DT

by Burkhard Schmidt

One of the CERN Against COVID-19 initiatives, in the production of face-shields, was kicked-off by a handful of members of the EP-DT group, quickly attracting contributions from other groups as well as generating a cascade of parallel projects. 

 

Progress in fundamental physics calls for pushing the current state-of-the-art for detectors, and developing new technologies that would boost the efficiency while reducing the cost and the environmental impact of future experiments. For future experiment to continue playing their important role in scientific inquiry a solid programme on developing detector technologies is needed.

Advanced deep neural networks can have multiple applications in the design of high-granularity calorimeters for future experiments while some of the offered solutions can find applications beyond particle physics. 

Upgrade of the EP Irradiation Facilities: The Gamma Irradiation Facility GIF++

by Martin R. Jäkel and Federico Ravotti (EP-DT-DD)

During LS2, the time without particle beams is used to significantly upgrade the two CERN Irradiation facilities run by EP-DT, namely IRRAD and GIF++

A new home for GEM detectors at CERN

by Rui De Oliveira (CERN)

A new building at CERN is ready to house ongoing R&D activities that will push the performance of detectors to cope with the high performance of the LHC.

The workshop on medical applications of spectroscopic X-ray detectors (specXray) brings together specialists in the field from physics, medical research and industry meet to exchange experience and knowledge.
