(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

Ontario 2011-06-09T17:40:00 2011-06-09T18:00:00 00:20 The branching ratio (BR) for the decay K+ -> pi+ nu anti-nu is about 10-10 and can be predicted in the Standard Model with minimal theoretical uncertainties, making it a sensitive probe for new physics. Measurement of this BR is challenging because of the background from dominant channels. The goal of the NA62 experiment is to measure this BR to within about 10%. A system of photon vetoes is needed to reject e.g. pi0's from K+ -> pi+ pi0. We describe the design and construction of one of the main components of the photon veto system: the large-angle vetoes (LAV), a series of 12 ring-shaped detectors stationed at intervals of about 10 m along the beam line. The LAVs make creative reuse of lead-glass blocks recycled from the OPAL electromagnetic calorimeter barrel. We describe the mechanical design and challenges faced during construction, the development of front-end electronics to allow simultaneous time and energy measurements over an extended dynamic range using the time-over-threshold technique, and the development of an in situ calibration and monitoring system. Our results are based on test beam data taken to assist the design of the LAV detectors. 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 2013-05-25 2013-05-26
