Oral

NESTOR Collaboration is a key player in the Design Study of the KM3NeT, the European Deep Sea Neutrino Telescope and claims to have the best site in the Mediterranean for this. In this report we describe briefly the site properties, the pioneer NESTOR expertise, our contribution towards the KM3NeT and present the specially constructed, for telescope modules deployments, ship-platform...

147. The European XFEL Project

Dr Ulrich Trunk (DESY)

The European XFEL project is a 4th generation photon source to be built in Hamburg. Electron bunches, accelerated to 17.5GeV by the XFEL linac, are distributed to three SASE long undulators. There photon pulses with full lateral coherence and wavelengths between 0.1nm and 4.9nm (12.4keV and 0.8keV) are generated for three beamlines. It will deliver around 1012 photons within each 100fs pulse,...

138. Development of a 3.2 GPixel Camera for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)

Mr John OLIVER (Havard University)

Oral

The LSST is an 8.4 meter survey telescope currently under development for operation on the 2,700 meter Cerro Pachon mountaintop in central Chile. LSST will have features which make it uniquely capable of carrying out multiple science missions including “Type 1A” supernovae surveys to constrain dark energy parameters, weak lensing probes for dark matter tomography, transient phenomena, galactic...
