Combined with the very intense bunch es of FEL’s this will allow to extract the structure of the target from scattering of individual bunches. \nThe talk will be based on AGIPD - a mu lti-national consortium of DESY\, PSI\, University of Hamburg and Universi ty of Bonn. This group develops Si-sensors\, ASIC’s\, PCB’s and FGPA ’s for a 1Mega-pixel camera with 200µm sized pixels\, which will be abl e to record individual pictures for the bunch interval of the Eu-XFEL\, 22 2ns. The accelerator will deliver bunches in a trained structure of 10 tra ins/second with each 2700 bunches. Out of them AGIPD will store 324 pictur es/train and by that 3240 pictures/second. An ASIC behind the sensor will store the signals into capacitors for each pixel and bunch. Since the ASIC area for each pixel is its own size\, the number of storage cells is limi ted. Random access will allow keeping the best scatterings for later proce ssing. After each train the kept signals will be digitized with 33MS/s by 1024 ADC's mounted onto PCB's generating a total data stream of 0.5Tbit/s. 16 FPGA's within the detector head\, each for a detector module represent ing a geometrical region\, will do first processing and sorting. Using the full time between trains each FPGA sends its data formatted to 10GbE/UPD out of the detector-head. An ATCA based FPGA system collects them and sor t them to full geometrical pictures and trains.\nFor Eu-XFEL two other con sortia develop similar cameras\, LPD with larger pixels and more area for electronics and DSSC integrated the ADC's already into each pixel. AGIPD ’s digital electronics with its high data throughput is also requested t o be integrated into cameras used at synchrotrons. DESY contributes to the developments of PERCIVAL using MAPs techniques and to LAMBDA aiming for a combination of the MEDIPIX chips with high-Z sensors.\n\nhttp://indico.ce rn.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=164&sessionId=44&confId=170595 LOCATION:Oxford University\, UK Martin Wood Lecture Theatre URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=164&sessionId=4 4&confId=170595 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:firmware approach for TEL62 trigger and data acquisition board DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120920T155200Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120920T155300Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T211050Z UID:indico-contribution-170595-130@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: PEDRESCHI\, Elena (Sezione di Pisa (IT))\nThe main g oal of the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is to measure the branching rat io of the ultra-rare K+ → π+νν decay\, collecting about 100 signal ev ents in 2 years.

Laborat ory and beam tests\, as well as simulations\, have been used to understand their origin. They are ascribed to direct energy deposition by particles in the avalanche photodiodes used for light readout. A reprogramming of th e front-end electronics has allowed a majority of these anomalous signals to be identified and rejected at the first (hardware) trigger level with m inimum impact on physics performance. Further rejection is performed in th e high-level (software) trigger and offline analyses.\n\nhttp://indico.cer n.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=137&sessionId=53&confId=170595 LOCATION:Oxford University\, UK URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=137&sessionId=5 3&confId=170595 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Conducted and radiated noise distribution on Pt rod power network for CMS Tracker upgrade.

"Higgs boson-like discovery claimed at LHC" enthused the BBC. The New York Times was far more excited with the headline: "Physicists Find Elusive Pa rticle Seen as Key to Universe". Many of us watched Fabiola Gianotti and Joe Incandela's talks on the discovery from ATLAS and CMS respectively and in the end saw many plots and tables\, mostly about backgrounds and stati stical analyses\, that lead up to one or two final plots in the end settin g confidence levels. \n\nIn this talk I hope to take these discoveries a b it more slowly. The talk will have two main sections\, the first of which will be the background to the discovery. There will be an explanation as t o why the Higgs boson was invented in the first place\, then given that it was\, why we needed to build a machine with a radiation profile that almo st no electronic equipment or sensors could survive. I will then explain h ow the Higgs boson decays and why only certain decay channels ended up bei ng the ones presented in July. \n\nThe second section will focus on the re sults obtained. I will look at the "golden channels" and explain a bit abo ut what kind of detector is needed to find the Higgs in these channels. Ho wever\, the game at this stage is all about the backgrounds and so some di scussion on the largest background will be needed. The final part of the t alk ends with the final plots from ATLAS and CMS from the discovery in Jul y so that one can see how it all happened.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contri butionDisplay.py?contribId=163&sessionId=44&confId=170595 LOCATION:Oxford University\, UK Martin Wood Lecture Theatre URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=163&sessionId=4 4&confId=170595 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Laser and Photodiode Environmental Evaluation for the Versatile Li nk Project DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120918T093500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120918T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T211050Z UID:indico-contribution-170595-120@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. TROSKA\, Jan (CERN)\nWe summarize the results ob tained in a series of radiation tests of candidate laser and photodiode co mponents for use in the Versatile Transceiver (VTRx)\, the front-end compo nent of the Versatile Link.

But with the advent of lasers and optical fibres in the later ha lf of the past century a revolution occurred in the telecommunications ind ustry. A single fibre made of a flexible strand of ultra-pure silica\, wit h a width not much greater than that of a human hair\, has the capacity to transmit more than 250 million simultaneous telephone conversations\, or to provide 5 million broadband internet connections. Moreover it can do th is over transoceanic distances. This explosion in data transfer capacity\, speed and system reach has changed the world through the internet and in order to satisfy societies ever increasing communications needs a cloak of optical fibres now covers the globe.\n\nThis development of today’s fib re networks has only been possible due to a number of key scientific break throughs\, as well as huge and sustained investment in optical fibre telec ommunications technology over the years. Major advances have been required in manufacturing processes\, as well as in both component and system conc epts. For example\, the invention of the optical fibre amplifier at Southa mpton University in the mid-1980s eliminated signal attenuation as a funda mental limit to the distance and speed that data can be sent through optic al fibre cables. Prior to this\, signals had to be converted from the opti cal to the electronic domain every few tens of kilometres and this imposed a huge bottleneck to system capacity. Until recently\, it had been widely assumed that the transmission bandwidth available from optical fibres as developed in the mid-70’s was effectively infinite relative to our needs . However\, due to increased internet uptake and the emergence of new and ever more bandwidth hungry applications\, there is a growing realization t hat this is no longer the case and that there is a significant risk of a c apacity crunch in the next 10-20 years without further radical innovation in the underpinning fibre technology. \n\nIn this talk I will review the h istoric development of optical fibre technology and describe the current s tate-of-the-art in terms of transmission performance. I will then review p ossible ways forward to avoid the looming bandwidth-crunch ahead. Time per mitting I will also describe some of the other emerging applications of fi bre technology which range from demonstrating nuclear fusion\, use in cutt ing and welding steel right through to discovering new oil reserves.\n\nht tp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=172&sessionId=45&conf Id=170595 LOCATION: Oxford\, UK Martin Wood Lecture Theatre URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=172&sessionId=4 5&confId=170595 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The AMS-02 electronics: design\, production and qualification\, in flight performance.

The LHC has several thousand mag nets\, both warm and super-conducting\, which are supplied with current by power converters. Precise magnetic fields are created\, ensuring the cor rect conditions for beam operation. If the magnetic field is incorrect th e beam will be affected and beam losses can occur: in cases this leads to the execution of an emergency dump of the energy stored in the circulating beam before the losses become unacceptable. As beam losses can also caus e localised heating in magnets\, a failure in magnet powering can also lea d to the execution of an emergency discharge of energy stored in the magne tic circuits. \nEach power converter is controlled by a purpose-built ele ctronic module called a Function Generator Controller (FGC). This hardwar e allows remote control of the power converter state\, and forms the centr al part of a closed-loop control system where the power converter Voltage is set\, based on the converter output current and magnet-circuit characte ristics. Some power converters and FGCs are located in areas which are ex posed to beam-induced ionizing radiation. There are numerous radiation in duced effects\, some of which lead to a loss of control of the power conve rter\, directly impacting upon the accelerator’s availability.\nIn 2015 and 2016\, following the first long shut down\, the LHC will re-start with higher intensity beams\, and higher beam energy. This is expected to lead to a significantly increased rate of radiation induced effects in materia ls close to the accelerator. Recent radiation tests indicate that using th e current FGC would lead to an unacceptable loss of availability of the ma chine. A new FGC known as the FGClite is being designed to work reliably in the radiation environment expected in the LHC tunnel in the post-LS1 er a.\nThis paper outlines the concepts of power converter controls for machi nes such as the LHC\, and introduces the risks related to radiation effect s on electronics. The FGClite project is then described\, with its key co ncepts and challenges: aiming for high availability in a radiation field.\ n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=170&sessionId=50 &confId=170595 LOCATION:Oxford University\, UK Martin Wood Lecture Theatre URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=170&sessionId=5 0&confId=170595 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Very Forward Muon Trigger and Data Acquisition Electronics for CMS : Design and Radiation Testing DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120921T090500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120921T093000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T211050Z UID:indico-contribution-170595-145@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GILMORE\, Jason (Texas A & M University (US))\nWith the forthcoming High Luminosity LHC accelerator upgrade\, the CMS Endcap M uon system will require new electronics to handle the increased data rate while maintaining high data collection efficiency.

H owever\, there are always new challenges keeping research alive in the fie ld of solid-state image sensors\, with an increasing demand for imaging sy stems able to provide extra-information with respect to the standard digit al cameras output. Among them there is the continuous progress of Single-P hoton Avalanche Diode (SPAD) fabricated using standard CMOS technologies\, which allow adding more and more\, processing features onto the same chip while the pixel dimensions are shrinking. This kind of sensors\, capable of resolving the photons time-of-arrival on a sub-nanosecond time scale\, can be exploited in life science research for real-time fluorescence lifet ime imaging and positron emission tomography. Another hot-topic\, nowadays emerging in consumer market applications\, concerns scannerless three-dim ensional imaging\, where a new class of sensors capable of measuring both the intensity map and the depth map of a scene is needed. Finally\, a rec ently emerging challenge is the extension of the detectable frequency spec trum beyond the visible range\, getting closer to the radio waves range in the so-called Terahertz region where the properties of the radiation beco me extremely interesting for many applications.

We propose two boards \, that can bridge the PCI Express protocol over optical fiber\, already working in the Drift Tube system of the CMS experiment.
