WP8: Calorimeters and Particle Identification Detectors

Objectives

Task 8.1. 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 8.2. Towards next generation highly granular calorimeters
• Development of a common electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter data concentration interface for minimised space
and power consumption
• Demonstrator with functional active detector elements and full read-out chain
• Development of a high granularity demonstrator for Liquid Noble gas calorimeters with innovative readout
technologies


Task 8.3. Innovative calorimeters with optical readout
• Optimisation of crystal materials and processes for fast timing applications in radiation environments
• Industrialisation of the production process of fast and radiation-hard crystals
• Study of neutron detection with organic scintillators
• Develop scalable production procedures for large-scale highly granular scintillator calorimeters


Task 8.4. Innovative solid-state light sensors and highly-granular dual-readout fibre-sampling calorimetry
• Systematic study of neutron irradiated SiPMs at different temperatures
• Development of SiPMs with improved radiation resistance
• Definition of the specifications for an optimal ASIC and the readout for fibre-sampling dual-readout calorimeters
• Construction of several 10×10 cm^2, 2 m long, dual-readout matrices with SiPM sensors and readout electronics
