WP4: Upgrade of Irradiation and Characterisation Facilities
Objectives
Task 4.1 Coordination and Communication
• Management and coordination of the Work Package, including monitoring of work progress, budget spending and
reporting to the project management.
• Organisation of WP meetings as well as meetings with other WPs and coordinating presentation of results within
AIDAinnova and to the detector community.
Task 4.2 Micro-beam upgrade at RBI accelerator facility
• Upgrade the RBI Accelerator Facility (RBI-AF) infrastructure for detector characterisation and radiation hardness
studies at micron-scales, including the upgrade of the motorised precision device positioning, cooling and data
acquisition systems
Task 4.3 Common tools for irradiation facilities quality control: data management, traceability, dosimetry and activation
measurements
• Generalise the IRRAD facility Data Manager (IDM) system to include new facilities (e.g., CERN GIF++, ENEA-
FNG) and improve the sharing of irradiation experiment results and operational data
• Produce a common dosimetry calibration set for cross-comparison of irradiation facilities
• Design and develop the prototype for an integrated system to manage induced activation (gamma spectrometry) and
traceability data for irradiated objects
Task 4.4 Design & development of a new sensor characterisation system based on the TPA-TCT technique
• Complete the development from the proof-of-concept installation towards a customisable user friendly Two-Photon
Absorption (TPA) Transient Current Technique (TCT) system with data acquisition and data analysis tools
• Support the evaluation of newly developed sensors (Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors and depleted CMOS devices)
developed in WP5 and WP6
• Offer support towards the implementation of similar systems in other European institutions
Task 4.5 Design & development of new electronics characterisation system for EMC control
• Design and develop an Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test bench to measure the noise transfer function (TF)
curves of physics detectors
• Design and develop a portable test bench to perform in-situ EMC emission measurements of power supply unit in
irradiation facilities
