High Energy Physics Seminar

Friday 3 Oct 2025, 11:30 → 13:00 Europe/Warsaw

Room: B2.38 (Wydział Fizyki UW)

11:30 → 13:00 LUXE and DRDcalo - calorimeter R&D for future experiments

The Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw is a member of the international LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) Collaboration. The project involves a groundbreaking experiment in the Eu.XFEL laboratory in Hamburg. It aims to study the Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in the regime of very strong fields. One of the key elements of the LUXE experiment is a high-density electromagnetic calorimeter, ECAL-P, designed to precisely measure the energy and spectra of positrons produced during collisions. The ECAL-P project is being developed within the framework of the CERN Detector R&D Collaboration on Calorimetry (DRD-calo).

Members of the LUXE collaboration came to Warsaw in September to take part in the collaboration meeting and the workshop of the ECAL-P detector group. The meeting in Warsaw was followed by the DRD-calo collaboration meeting in Ancona. We will report on the activities of both collaborations with particular focus on the Faculty of Physics contribution.

Speakers: Aleksander Filip Żarnecki (IFD UW), Grzegorz Grzelak (IFD UW)
