162. Advanced Electronics Developments at the STFC National Laboratory

Mr Marcus Julian French (STFC - Science & Technology Facilities Council (GB))

17/09/2012, 16:30

The UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) provides electronics and instrumentation solutions to large scale scientific facilities in the UK and world-wide. The Technology Department of the STFC plays a leading role in developing, deploying and supporting the requirements of those facilities for advanced electronics and detectors. The talk will look at those facilities...

164. High speed cameras for X-rays: AGIPD and others

Peter Goettlicher (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

For the scattering experiments of X-rays at FELS’s new instruments, cameras are currently being developed to record two dimensional images with increased picture rate and the feature to store scatterings of individual X-ray bunches on the targets. Combined with the very intense bunches of FEL’s this will allow to extract the structure of the target from scattering of individual bunches. The...

163. A Much Better Explained (hopefully) Version of the Discovery by ATLAS and CMS of a New Boson. (But we all think it is probably the Higgs Boson).

Dr Todd Brian Huffman (University of Oxford (GB))

On July 4th of this year we all know what was dominating the Headlines. "Higgs boson-like discovery claimed at LHC" enthused the BBC. The New York Times was far more excited with the headline: "Physicists Find Elusive Particle 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...
