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 continuously improve their instrumentation and adapt to new user demands. Aimed at the advancement and…

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 industry. The contribution to a Detector R&D Roadmap, in line with…
