218. Carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons for future IC interconnect technology

Antonio Maffucci (University of Cassino and Southern Lazio)

9/23/13, 5:00 PM

Oral

Given their physical limits, conventional materials such as copper are expected to fail in meeting many of the requirements for future nanoscale IC interconnects. Due to their outstanding electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) or Graphene Nano-Ribbons (GNRs) are proposed as innovative interconnect materials. This presentation will first discuss the first...

219. The First Long Shutdown (LS1) and future upgrades of the LHC machine

Frederick Bordry (CERN)

Oral

The LHC has been delivering data to the physics experiments since the first collisions in 2009. The first long shutdown (LS1), which started on 14 February 2013, was triggered by the need to consolidate the magnet interconnections so as to allow the LHC to operate at the design energy of 14 TeV in the centre-of-mass for proton–proton collisions. It has now become a major shutdown that, in...
