With its ambitious scientific programme to discover new physics, CERN has to continuously innovate to push the boundaries of technology and achieve ever higher levels of energy and luminosity in the Large Hadron Collider and to detect and process intelligently collisions of interest which occur in the LHC experiments.
Equally ambitious is CERN’s approach to transferring those technologies to...
As part of the Fraunhofer-Society, Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) specializes in applied and industrial contract research. Fraunhofer IZM’s focus is on packaging technology and the integration of multifunctional electronics into systems. Due to the knowledge in electronic packaging, system integration and reliability engineering Fraunhofer IZM has been a...
The technology, methods and data processing algorithms developed for experiments in high energy physics are often considered by public opinion as being far from real-life applicability. Actually many particular technologies can find their applications outside of HEP presenting significant commercialization potential. This contribution is focused on applications of digital particle counting and...
Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are devices often used for charge particle tracking, as exemplified at the LHC experiments. These devices were introduced to improve the position resolution, the capability to cope with high particle flux, and the long term stability compared to the Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers. In recent years, MPGDs found applications beyond high energy physics...
