Tipp2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics

Scientific Programme

• Calorimetry
  Detectors based on absorption of electromagnetic or hadronic showers in dense media. Examples include sampling calorimeters, crystal calorimeters, particle flow based devices and dual readout calorimeters.
• Experimental Detector Systems
  Multi-component detector systems and upgrades to existing detectors. This subject includes special overview talks from the major experiments/projects across the fields (collider experiments, rare kaon/muon experiments, neutrino experiments, dark matter experiments, astrophysics experiments, large scale R&D projects .... etc). This conference and this track is not for polished talks about all that is beautiful and works well. We'd like to hear what the limitations are of the current experiments and how it limits the science and focus on ideas on how to break these barriers. The overview talks could reference/advertise the shorter (more focused) talks from the same experiment.
• Gaseous Detectors
  Detector technologies based on signal generation in gaseous media. Examples include proportional and ionization chambers, micropattern gas detectors, and time projection chambers.
• Particle Identification
  Detectors and detector systems capable of resolving particle species. Examples include time-of-flight systems, muon detectors, ring imaging Cerenkov systems, and transition radiation detectors.
• Photon Detectors
  This category includes photon detectors, exclusive of electromagnetic calorimeters. Examples include phototubes, silicon photomultipliers, photocathode developments and x-ray detectors.
• Semiconductor Detectors
  Detector technologies based on charge collection in semiconducting devices. Examples include silicon strip and pixel detectors, SiC-based detectors, and diamond-based detectors.
• Semiconductor Detectors
  Detector technologies based on charge collection in semiconducting devices. Examples include silicon strip and pixel detectors, SiC-based detectors, and diamond-based detectors.
• Dark Matter Detectors
  Technology used in searches for dark matter. Examples include noble liquid detectors, bubble chambers and semiconductor-based detectors.
• Detectors for neutrino physics
  Detectors for neutrino and rare decay physics. Examples include large water Cerenkov and liquid Argon neutrino detector arrays. This subject also includes instrumentation for studies of double beta decay, neutrino mass and proton decay.
• Astrophysics and Space Instrumentation
  Instrumentation intended for ground, upper atmosphere and space based studies. Examples include gamma ray satellites, cosmic microwave background (CMB) studies, instrumentation for x-ray astronomy, and technology for ground-based telescopes.
• Instrumentation for Medical, Biological and Materials Research
  Applications of Particle Physics technology to other research and commercial fields. Examples include x-ray focal plane systems, radiography systems, PET instrumentation, and systems for homeland security.
• Front-end Electronics
  Electronics for amplification and signal conditioning for raw detector signals. Examples include transistor technologies, front-end circuits, 3D vertically integrated circuits, and circuits for extreme environments.
• Trigger and Data Acquisition Systems
  Electronics and software for event triggering and data acquisition. Examples include level 1 and 2 trigger systems for collider experiments, data aqusition systems based on xTCA, tracking trigger systems, and higher level trigger processor farms.
• Machine Detector Interface and Beam Instrumentation
  Instrumentation utilized to monitor and characterize particle beams and sources. This subject also includes studies and instrumentations for the machine detector interface regions. Examples include beam position and profile monitors, emittance measurements, background simulations and accelerator control systems.
