The complexity and resolving capability of detectors for high energy physics experiments have been steadily increasing. The front-end electronics, which provides the readout of signals from the sensing elements of these detectors, has observed a corresponding increase in complexity, functionality, and transistor count. A major breakthrough came with the advent of front-end Application-Specific...

Since its inception in 1965, Moore’s law has had a large impact on
many technologies. This presentation will review how these changes
have influenced the design of trigger and DAQ systems, and attempt
to extrapolate the trends identified towards the future.

Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy based on optical and electronic generation and detection of radiation has resulted in a wealth of new application opportunities in the area of medical surgery (e.g. tumor margin detection), biomedical analysis (e.g. protein interaction), non-destructive testing (e.g. production control), security (e.g. airport scanners, detection of concealed weapons) as well...

Driven by the availability of modern photolithographic techniques, the Micro Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGD) have been introduced in the last years of the 20th century by pioneer activities: Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) and Micromegas, later followed by thick-GEM, resistive GEM (RETGEM) and novel micro-pattern devices. Nowadays, a flourishing of R&D activities dedicated to MPGDs and of...

This keynote lecture describes the art to precisely manufacture solid-state devices at the scale of micrometers down to tens of nanometers. The latest developments in microchip fabrication are presented, with their possible consequences in circuit design and computing. Further, the use of microfabrication for particle detectors is reviewed.

Huge calorimetric systems built to ensure the Higgs discovery and new physics searches have borne scrutiny of collisions and harsh environment during the first LHC run. Few key aspects of the performance of these systems and lessons learnt in this context will be discussed. In the future, several crucial physics problems have to be addressed in different scientific fields and this research...

PANalytical is a company in the Netherlands that designs and builds X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence systems. Systems are sold (and serviced) worldwide and many are operational 24/7.
Since the year 2000 PANalytical has been an industrial partner of the Medipix collaboration. The aim for PANalytical was to integrate Medipix detectors in their X-ray diffraction equipment to increase...

The LHC experiment collaborations are presently preparing major upgrades of their detectors during the long LHC shutdowns planned in 2018/2019 and 2023/2024.
This presentation will discuss the key challenges for these upgrades and will review the main detector technologies under consideration.

In free space, efficient momentum transfer over an extended distance between an oscillating field and a massive charged particle is impossible. With a proper boundary, this notion does not hold any longer. We have recently shown that electrons can be continuously accelerated with laser light at a dielectric grating structure. With low-power femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm we could...

Detectors using liquid noble gas media like xenon or argon have shown a great potential for direct dark matter searches. Particles interacting with these targets cause the emission of light and free electrons, via excitation and ionization processes, respectively.
The pulse shape of the prompt light signal and/or the ratio between light and extracted charge can be used to discriminate between...

The precision of large-area spatial measurements has improved dramatically over
the last 50 years due to the invention of silicon strip and pixel detectors. The precision
of large-area time measurements, however, has only recently started to attract a similar
level of attention and investment. The ultimate time resolution of large-area devices
is not yet known, but the intrinsic resolution of...

White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond accuracy and picoseconds precision of synchronization for large distributed systems. It also allows for deterministic and reliable data delivery at a gigabit rate. The Ethernet-based network can connect thousands of nodes with typical distances of 10 km between nodes while even a 1000 km link is in operation with a lower accuracy. The hardware, firmware and...

I will review the transfer of technology from accelerator-based particle detection to space-borne astroparticle physics. Requirements for detection, identification and measurement of ions, electrons and photons in space will be recalled. The additional requirements and restrictions imposed by the launch process in manned and unmanned space flight, as well as by the hostile environment in orbit...
