European roadmap for detector R&D
European roadmap for detector R&D This article is a edited version of AIDAinnova’s deliverable D1.1 available here. By Felix Sefkow (DESY). The European Strategy for Particle Physics stressed the importance of a strong focus on instrumentation, and the 2020 Update mandated the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) to develop a roadmap for detector R&D

First beam tests for highly granular dual-readout calorimeter prototype
First beam tests for highly granular dual-readout calorimeter prototype The prototype, designed for the containment of electromagnetic showers, was qualified on beam, first at DESY with a pure electron beam with energies up to 6 GeV and secondly at CERN with electrons up to 100 GeV (image: INFN-PV Lab) By Roberto Ferrari (INFN) and Romualdo

First characterisation study for front-end and data acquisition systems aimed at future micro-pattern gas detectors
First characterisation study for front-end and data acquisition systems aimed at future micro-pattern gas detectors By Lucian Scharenberg (CERN) In summer 2021, several state-of-the-art detector instrumentations conducted full characterisation studies at SPS. In order to match the increasing detector performance standards in precision and speed of new detectors for future experiments, it is necessary to

AIDAinnova kicks-off a visionary work programme for particle detectors at accelerators
AIDAinnova kicks-off a visionary work programme for particle detectors at accelerators A new EU project called AIDAinnova (Advancement and Innovation for Detectors at Accelerators) will develop a variety of innovative particle detector technologies for experiments at future colliders. The virtual AIDAinnova Kick-off Meeting brought together over 300 representatives from international institutions and laboratories, researchers and
