Description
In this work we present the process of construction, development, some
results and further advances of the “Laboratorio de Detectores”
(Detectors Laboratory), of the UAN, as a R&D laboratory for training,
development, fabrication, applications and innovation particularly with
SiPMs and MPGDs and their related technologies. The goal of this lab-
facility is to support the training of PhD students and young researchers
in High Energy Physics detectors to increase the critical mass in such
important scientific and technological advances, in particular for Latin-
America with new capacities for detectors development, fabrication,
quality control and characterization in HEP and new applications in
other disciplines and social sectors. This lab-facility supports a new
PhD program in applied science at the UAN to benefit the radiation
detectors community in general and in particular the RD51 program at
CERN, and the NEXT experiment at CSIC, with more professionals,
students and infrastructure dedicated to the radiation detectors and
related technology.
