The Silicon Electron Multiplier is a novel sensor concept for Minimum Ionising Particle detection which uses internal gain and fine pitch to achieve excellent temporal and spatial resolution.

This recently awarded Blue Sky project aims to overcome this limit by the design of a novel doping layer with the potential to extend the lifetime of sensors by at least one order of magnitude.

Under the coordination of WP5, the development of DMAPS will allow for more cost-effective and radiation-resistant pixel detectors.

The AIDAinnova blue-sky project “NanoCal” will lay the ground for a new generation of fine-sampling calorimeters fulfilling the role of large-volume homogenous detectors at a fraction of the cost.

An analysis of market-innovation trends of particle detectors stresses the decline in innovation growth of Europe in comparison to China.

The Software for Future Detectors work package (WP12) has invited all of its AIDAinnova developers to a hackathon at CERN, June 21-23.
