(US) marcel.demarteau@cern.ch 7308 Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics 2011 TIPP 2011 TIPP11 <p> The Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics 2011 (TIPP 2011) conference is the second in the new series of international conferences in the field of particle physics sponsored by IUPAP. The program focuses on all areas of detector development and instrumentation in particle physics, astro-particle physics and closely related fields.</p> Here is a rough general guideline: for the existing experiments/projects (running, under construction, or in the plan, or large R&amp;D projects),&nbsp;we are soliciting two types of talks. One type is the overview talk (~25+5 min) for each experiment/project, the&nbsp;other type is more elaborate/focused/short talks on sub-detectors (15+5 mins).&nbsp; For individual smaller scale&nbsp;(R&amp;D) work, one abstract/talk should be good enough (length somewhat flexible, typically short).&nbsp;<br /> <br /> The areas covered by the parallel tracks are categorized as follows:<br /> <div style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> <div class="indented" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; clear: both; "> <div> Experimental detector systems</div> Gaseous detectors<br /> Semiconductor detectors<br /> Calorimeters<br /> Particle identification<br /> Photon detectors<br /> Dark Matter Detectors<br /> Neutrino Detectors<br /> Astrophysics and space instrumentation<br /> Front-end electronics<br /> Trigger and data acquisition systems<br /> Machine Detector Interface and beam instrumentation<br /> Instrumentation for medical, biological and materials research<br /> <br /> Since this is a science driven cross-disciplinary conference on Technology and Instrumentation, the overview talks from each experiment should not be the usual &quot;beauty contest&quot; type of presentations shown at typical physics or hardware conferences. The overview talk for a given experiment should start from science motivations, then focus on the challenges in technology and instrumentation, and how the experiment/project overcame the challenges, the experience of designing and building such systems and lessons learned. What would especially be good to hear is not only what the challenges<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#444444">&nbsp;</font>were, but what challenges they are still struggling to overcome! This conference is not for polished talks about all that is beautiful and works well.&nbsp;We&#39;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.&nbsp;The overview talks could reference/advertise the shorter (more focused) talks from the same experiment. One could think of the overview talks as &quot;mini-plenary&quot; talks (one per experiment/project).&nbsp;In some cases, especially large sub-detectors, it is also possible to consider an overview talk (with a few abstracts on the details).&nbsp;<br /> <br /> &nbsp;</div> </div> False Chicago

Superior A 2011-06-11T16:40:00 2011-06-11T17:00:00 00:20 The next generation neutrino-less double beta decay experiments aim to probe Majorana neutrino masses at or below 10 meV. To reach this sensitivity ton-scale detectors are needed with even lower residual radioactive backgrounds than the best ones operating today or planned for the near future. The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) collaboration is developing a novel strategy for a virtually background-free search for neutrino-less double beta decay of xenon-136. EXO plans to detect individual barium-136 ions resulting from such decays combining optical spectroscopy and ion physics techniques with rare event detector technologies. If proven possible with high efficiency, single ion identification would allow one to eliminate all non-barium producing backgrounds which are the limiting factor for current and planned experiments. The EXO collaboration is actively pursuing barium-tagging strategies for both liquid and gaseous xenon detectors. The progress of such research will be presented and the prospects towards a ton-scale EXO experiment discussed. slides doc http://indico.cern.ch/images/word.png word file ppt http://indico.cern.ch/images/powerpoint.png powerpoint file pdf http://indico.cern.ch/images/pdf_small.png pdf file odt http://indico.cern.ch/images/writer.png writer file odp http://indico.cern.ch/images/impress.png presentation file ods http://indico.cern.ch/images/calc.png spreadsheet file other http://indico.cern.ch/images/file_small.png unknown type file link http://indico.cern.ch/images/link.png link 2013-05-18 2013-05-19
