Description

The focus of the school is on the most advanced technologies in the fields of semiconductors, very deep submicron and 3D technologies, nanotechnology, advanced packaging and interconnects, telecommunications, real-time signal processing, filtering and massively parallel computing and on the physics motivations that require confronting these technogical challenges for building the needed new instruments

These physics motivations are reviewed both in dedicated lectures as well as in all the more technology-based lectures.

The school provides lectures and lab work in a variety of cross-disciplinary example applications drawn from the exploration of distant universe, through medical imaging of the human body, to exploration of the elementary particle world. Lectures on technical developments and science overviews will be given by experts from academia and industry, alongside with hands-on lab sessions with demonstrators and subject specific master-classes on science & technology.

The school organization follows the academic and local life habits; the lecture,  the breaks as well as the lunch and dinner schedules follows those of the local student life. The plenary morning lectures are held in the Lecture Hall where all the lectures are held at HUST. The attendants thus experience the HUST student life by being merged in the same lecture hall than all the other HUST students.

Apart from the first and last days of the school, the morning sessions from 8:00 am to 12:00 am are dedicated to the lectures held in general in the Lecture Hall. The afternoon sessions are devoted to the Lab sessions from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. After the dinner held from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm there is a science and/or technology overview keynote lecture from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. All the days (except Sunday, 19th May) follows this schedule (see timetable).

The school is held from Monday May 13 (morning) to Saturday May 25 (end of the afternoon), with a break on Sunday, May 19 with organized visits of the city of WUHAN.

The program of the Computing and Practical Labs are in a booklet format available on line for the attendants at the start of the school.

THE "LABs" are presented on MONDAY May 13 in a plenary afternoon session: see slides in the TIMETABLE PAGE. Students registered on the dedicated registration slot in the school website after these presentations.

As an example a Photo of a room where were held some of the Lab sessions computer-based, dedicated to advanced data processing (Deep Machine Learning, Parallel Computing and FPGA based Lab) is shown here below and also on the LABs INDICO Page

Students Posters Exhibition: The school attendants are expected to provide a poster. On May 25, the morning session is dedicated to the presentation of posters in an exhibition Hall in the main Building of the WLNO Laboratory. The posters and the photos of the presenters are included in the school website in the TIMETABLE PAGE.

The three best posters and the PHOTOS of the winners are included here below as well as in the POSTER INDICO page

All the lectures are posted in the school website.

### The Proceedings of INFIERI 2019 will be published in Journal of Instrumentation, JINST. This will be the second time after the Proceedings of INFIERI 2014.

A VISION ON THE MAIN DIRECTIONS IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS IN THE NEXT DECADES 1h 50m

After decades of success in exploring the ultimate components of the Matter, the large High Energy Physics worldwide community is continuying its fundamental research quest. The next two decades will witness exciting searches in the Neutrinos world thanks to three major experiments that are bult in USA (DUNE), in China (JUNO) and in Japon (Super/HyperKamiokande); meanwhile the largest accelerator in the world, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), at CERN (Geneva, CH) will increase its exploration capability thanks to upgrading both the machine and the 4 associated experiments. The increase in Luminosity by a factor of at least 5 and increase to the nominal energy value of 14 TeV (currently 13TeV) in the center of mass, will strengthen the Physics reach of this Machine. This goes together with the major upgrades, on the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments. These upgrades consist in drastic modification of several detectors and/or of their associated signal processing or data handling, in rebuilding some major parts using novel technologies and in adding some new detection capabilities. This school will review some of these main aspects. The upgrades of these experiments will further increase the overall Physics potential of the HL-LHC era that will start in 2025. They are also pioneering the new detection technologies that will inspire and serve the design and construction of the experiments for the next generation of HEP machines, without forgetting their cross-disciplinary and high tech industrial outcomes.

Meanwhile, and in parallel to the success of the LHC, a long term R&D period on different next HEP machine concepts with the related Physics studies are ongoing, aiming to pursue on the Particle Physics ultimate Quest. Decisions on the main directions to go are expected by the end of this decade and are crucial for the next 50 years.

THE NEW WAYS TO EXPLORE THE BRAIN FUNCTIONING 1h 30m

The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system. It is made up of a large network of neurons and controls everything from senses to the muscles throughout the body. When the brain is damaged, it can affect many different things, including memory, motor function, sensation and even personality. Brain disorders include several rare diseases which currently have little to no effective measures of diagnoses and treatments.
In the EU, a disease is considered to be rare when the number of people affected is less than 5 per 10 000. There are more than 7000 rare diseases, most of them with a genetic basis. However, the exact cause for many rare diseases remains still unknown. A very rough estimate would be that one out of 10 persons could be affected by rare diseases with about 300 million people worldwide.
Rare diseases, also referred to as orphan diseases, are serious, often chronic and progressive conditions.
In the last decades, considerable attention has been paid to efforts to stimulates preclinical and clinical research in the field of these diseases, however basic knowledge remains still limited or not available for most of them. To date, neurological rare disorders are vastly underdiagnosed and effective treatment is often lacking or only symptomatic. A global effort is necessary in order to raise awareness and improve knowledge, aiming for earlier diagnosis and specific research programs to identify underlying molecular mechanisms and lead to possible new and/or alternative therapies.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON SILICON TECHNOLOGY 1h 50m

The use of the Silicon technology has been strongly increasing over the few last decades in the High Energy Physics experiments. This is because the impressive advances in this high tech domain as well as the cutting-edge performances demands moitvated by the Physics.

Abstract: Modern detector science and technology has originated from High Energy Physics experiment needs in the ‘80’s of the past century, based on the achievement and knowledge of the silicon industry of the time. The first segmented array of diodes (a microstrip sensor) was developed to track vertices at the NA11 experiment at the SPS accelerator at CERN (Geneva, CH). During the following years, detector technology developed into a special branch of the huge silicon technology enterprise that has been arguably the biggest contributor to the evolution of most of the economical, social and scientific activities of mankind. If, and how, detector technology for science has kept the pace with the spectacular speed of evolution of mainstream silicon technology (namely, the microelectronics industry) is the object of this lecture, that will also point out the special requirements of detectors for science and how these can be linked to modern microelectronics trends.

Gianluigi Casse is Professor at the Physics Department, University of Liverpool, leading the detector group within Particle Physics in the Department. He is also Director of the Center for Materials and Microsystems of FBK , Trento (Italy) and Co-Spokesperson of the CERN/RD50 experiment (~ 300 scientists worldwide) on Radiation hard semiconductor devices for very high luminosity colliders.

In this School, two Labs are organized on Silicon sensors related to this lecture and one Lab to the associated FEE.
Two other lectures (by Prof. L. Ratti and the keynote by Prof. Allport) are also related to this lecture.

NEW HIGH GRANULARITY CALORIMETERS for HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS 1h 50m

Making calorimeters to be highly granular devices has been the subject of decades of R&D work within the High Energy Physics international community and is actively pursued worldwide.This is strongly motivated by the needs of the Physics to be explored in the particle accelerators.
The contribution of Dr Barney to this School includes two lectures:

Lecture 1: High-Energy Physics Calorimetry by Examples
In the first of two lectures on calorimetry, we give an overview of electromagnetic and hadronic shower development and how they lead to the design of modern calorimeters for energy measurements of high-energy particles. We explore the differences between sampling and homogeneous calorimeters and present the pros and cons of each. We focus on some real-world examples from the state-of-the-art detectors designed and operating at the Large Hadron Collider, and explore methods to increase the information content from future calorimeters and the challenges that these new calorimeters pose to detector physicists and engineers.

Lecture 2: The CMS High Granularity Calorimeter for High-Luminosity LHC
Calorimetry in high-energy physics is rapidly evolving, with new challenges and a wide variety of technologies being employed, both for signal creation and detection. Advances in large-area highly-segmented detectors are providing possibilities for high-granularity calorimetry. The CMS HGCAL, being designed to replace the existing CMS endcap calorimeters for the HL-LHC era, is one example. It is a sampling calorimeter, featuring unprecedented transverse and longitudinal readout segmentation for both electromagnetic (CE-E) and hadronic (CE-H) compartments. This will facilitate particle-flow calorimetry, where the fine structure of showers can be measured and used to enhance pileup rejection and particle identification, whilst still achieving good energy resolution. The CE-E and a large fraction of CE-H will use hexagonal silicon sensors as active detector material. The lower-radiation environment will be instrumented with scintillator tiles with on-tile SiPM readout. These concepts borrow heavily from designs produced by the CALICE collaboration but the design of such a detector at a hadron collider is considerably more challenging than at the linear colliders.

Dr David Barney is Senior Research Physicist and Group Leader at CERN (European Centre for Particle Physics), System & Beam Test Coordinator for High Granularity Calorimeter upgrade for the CMS experiment at the LHC: CMS is one of the two large multipurpose experiments at the LHC at CERN.

HIGH PERFORMANCE TIMING DETECTORS FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS & NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR High LUMINOSITY LHC 1h 50m

In recent years precision timing detectors have increasingly captured the interest of the particle physicists, for their potential as time of flight detectors in high luminosity collider experiments as the LHC.
In the phase-1 of the LHC, the experiments have exploited a global event description, making use of all the subdetector information (tracks, calorimeter hits and muon chamber hits) to optimize the particle energy and position measurement depending on the particle type.
This technique usually referred to as "particle flow" has a beneficial effect particularly on the jet energy and on the missing transverse energy resolution.
In 2025 a new phase of the Large Hadron Collider will begin with increased instantaneous luminosity (HL-LHC) and a number of concurrent proton-proton interactions per bunch crossing as high as 200.
Therefore the events will have very high vertex and track density, and high hit occupancy will be detected in the calorimeters. Hence the need to exploit additional measurement, like the timing information, for the track to vertex matching algorithms and for the association of calorimeter hits to tracks, in order to be able to efficiently use the particle flow technique in these harsher conditions.
This lecture will review the existing detectors with fast and precise timing measurement as well as the physics motivation for their use.
It will introduce the various detector technologies able to achieve high performance in timing: Micro-channel plates, scintillation crystals coupled to high gain photodetectors, and silicon based detectors as Low Gain Avalanche devices.

Dr. Francesca Cavallari is a Senior Research Scientist at INFN and University La Sapienza in Rome (Italy); she is currently Project Manager at the CMS experiment at LHC. She had/has important contributions and responsibility to one of the key element of the experiment, i.e the electromagnetic calorimeter from the beginning (i.e. construction) its running and now its upgrade.

KAGRA: 2ND GENERATION OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE (GW) EXPERIMENT & FIRST UNDERGROUND GW EXPERIMENT 1h 50m

Deep under the mountain of the Kamioka mine in Kamioka-cho, Hida-city, Gifu-prefecture, in Japan, there are many leading edge facilities to answer questions about many physics, astronomical and cosmological subjects that haven’t been answered, such as “Super Kamiokande”, the successor of “Kamiokande”.
In 2010, a new challenging science project, KAGRA (Kamioka Gravitational wave detector, Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope) has started.
KAGRA aims to spot spacetime ripples by harnessing advanced technological twists: chilling key components to temperatures hovering just above absolute zero, and placing the ultrasensitive setup in an enormous underground cavern.
The new detector will join similar observatories in the search for the minute cosmic undulations, which are stirred up by violent events like collisions of black holes. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO, in the USA and Virgo, located near Pisa, Italy. Those detectors sit above ground, and don’t use the cooling technique, making KAGRA the first of its kind.

In this lecture, Professor Miyakawa explains some gravitational wave(GW) physics and main results of the GW detection achieved by LIGO and VIRGO with some historical development of the experimental side for the GW detectors. He will spend some time to explain principles of GW detection using Michelson interferometer and development for the optical configuration as Fabry Perot cavities, power recycling and signal recycling technics. In the second part, he introduces KAGRA that is a 3km scale interferometer currently being constructed underground. KAGRA has low temperature mirrors as test masses which will be cooled down to 16K to reduce thermal noise. Professor Miyakawa is working as a leader of commissioning task at KAGRA site, and he will show some interesting experiences and results obtained during KAGRA construction.

Osamu Miyakawa is Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo, Institute of Cosmic Ray Research, ICRR, Tokyo, Japan.

We live in a mysterious Universe.
Recently, gravitational waves have been detected, black holes horizons have been observed,
Dark Energy could be a cosmological constant... Of the main challenges in physics, we still have to uncover the nature
of the observed Dark Matter, which is contributing more than 80% of the matter in the Universe.
Extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics like Supersymmetry expect particles which are neutral and interact very weaklywith other forms of matter. In this talk I will briefly review, what we really know about Dark Matter and address some detection issues.

QUANTUM COMPUTING: ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES 1h 50m

Quantum computing promises to solve hugely complex multi-variable problems that are impossible for classical computers to handle. It’s an exciting prospect, and research has come a long way, but quantum computers aren’t ready yet. Today’s experimental quantum systems are still too small to be useful. An alternative is to use quantum inspired computing. Quantum inspired computing uses conventional computing elements to approximate the behavior of quantum computing. With exceptionally inventive architectures and algorithms, we can manipulate data in ways that mimic the behavior of quantum machines. These systems are slower than true quantum computers, but much larger and more capable. In this lecture we will discuss this new class of computing hardware.

THE HARDWARE SIDE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: PIXEL-EMBEDDED SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF RADIATION DETECTORS AT THE LHC AND FREE ELECTRON LASER MACHINES 1h 50m

The fast evolution of microelectronic technologies has made the pixel detector a dependable, virtually essential device in a number of crucial applications in high energy physics (HEP) experiments and in photon science. With the upgrade of the LHC experiments and the advent of 4th generation free electron laser (FEL) machines, pixel front-end circuits developed in these two different fields have come to face a number of common challenges: use of scaled CMOS technologies to increase functional density in a limited pitch, large number of parallel channels in a single chip, with the relevant integration issues, huge amount of data to be processed and transferred off-chip to mass storage, ever faster processing speed, exposure to unprecedented doses of ionizing radiation.
This lecture will focus on the core of the pixel detection system, the front-end analog chain measuring the charge released by the detector, including the charge preamplifier and the shaping filter, in its time-invariant and time-variant flavors. Particular emphasis will be put on the signal processing methods and the front-end channel architectures adopted to comply with the demanding specifications of HEP and photon science experiments. Design criteria for minimum noise and optimization of threshold (offset) dispersion will be presented. Some specific topics, such as radiation tolerance, leakage current compensation, dynamic range compression and amplitude measurement digitization, will be discussed also with reference to some particular design cases.

THE FUTURE MACHINES IN PROJECT FOR CONFRONTING THE FUTURE OF PARTICLE PHYSICS 2h

!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC IN THE HIGH ENERGY WORLD !!
WHAT ARE THE NEXT MACHINES TO BE BUILT FOR EXPLORING and EXPLAIN THE ELEMENTARY PARTICLE WORLD MUCH BEYOND WHAT HAS BEEN ALREADY DISCOVERED??
These are WORLDWIDE & INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS for the next 50 or more years to come.
The accelerators of particles in project in the world, China, Europe and Japan will be presented, with their Physics reach as well as their Physics and Technological Challenges, by international experts. These projects include:

• The electron-positron linear colliders; two such colliders in project:
1) the ILC (International Linear Collider) at 250 GeV in c.m.s. in Japan (see abstract by Prof. Hitoshi Hayano). Five Technical Design Reports describe in details the whole project.
2) CLIC ( Compact Linear Collider) at CERN (CH) first at 380 GeV, then 1.5 TeV and up to 3TeV. Four Conceptual Design Reports (CDR) describe the Machine, Detectors and Physics of this project.

• Two combined e+e- and pp colliders in project:
1) the CepC/SppC project in China aiming to build a 100 kms long circular machine. This machine will be in a first stage an electron-positron collider, running at 90, 160 and 250 GeV (Z, W factory, Higgs Factory, Flavor factory).The CepC is expected to run towards end of 2030.
In a second stage of this project, the circular tunnel is used as a proton-proton collider running at about 100 TeV center of mass energy.
2) The FCC (Future Circular Collider) in Europe (to be based at CERN) implemented as FCCee, an e+e- circular collider (from 90 to 365 GeV) and then implemented as a 100 TeV pp collider, FCC will also provide the possibility of an electron-hadron collider. The FCCee machine would start running after the end of the High Luminosity era of the LHC (HL-LHC), i.e. towards 2038.
Both CepC-SppC and FCC have produced detailed Conceptual Design Reports (CDR) describing the Machine, Detectors and Physics at the end of 2018. Needless to stress how much these projects are extremely challenging. They explore different ways in the most tricky R&D aspects of these machines, especially the magnets.

"It’s a huge leap, like planning a trip not to Mars, but to Uranus,” says Gian Francesco Giudice, who heads CERN’s theory department and represents the laboratory in the Physics Preparatory Group of the strategy update process."

"It’s too early to say this is a competition. I think it’s good to have different proposals and to explore the advantages and disadvantages of each proposal thoroughly. Then we can see which one is more feasible, and the community will decide." says Prof. Yifang Wang in an article on Nature January 2019.

The lecturers are;
- Prof. Joao GUIMARAES DA COSTA (IHEP, CAS, CN) for the Circular Electron Positron Collider, CEPC project
- Dr Michelangelo L. MANGANO (CERN, CH) for the Future Circular Collider, FCC project.
- Prof Hitoshi HAYANO (KEK-Japan) for the International Linear Collider, ILC Project (see abstract here attached).

Spectral capture technique collects information with more color channels than traditional trichromatic sensing. Therefore, it provides more detailed properties of the light source and the scene. Possible applications span across lots of fields such as remote sensing, materials science, bio-photonics, environmental monitoring, and so on. Spectral capture technique needs to record massive data in spatial, temporal and spectral domains, traditional spectral capture systems suffer from temporal and spatial scanning, thus is not suitable for video capture. Nowadays, with rapid development in sampling theory and electronic techniques, spectral video acquisition is becoming tractable. In this talk, we present recent progresses on the high resolution spectral video acquisition. Prism-Mask Image Spectrometer (PMIS) is proposed which accomplishes high quality video capture in three domains: spectral (1nm), spatial (one mega-pixels) and temporal (real-time) resolution. Both the optical principle and the prototype setup of the PMIS are introduced. In the end, a bunch of machine vision applications (object tracking, skin detection, automatic white balance, etc) based on PMIS are also discussed. In addition, we will also introduce the emerging field of computational photography and other representative researches.

NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING WITH SPINTRONIC NANODEVICES 1h

Computing systems inspired by biological neural networks can perform complex tasks for which they were not explicitely programmed, by learning from examples. They demonstrate amazing performances in machine learning tasks such as image or speech recognition, or natural language processing. However, they are executed on traditional von Neuman architecture computers, resulting in huge energy consumption.

Building hardware inspired by brain enables analog neuromorphic computing and machine learning with low energy consumption. Due to their nanometric size and nonlinear properties, magnetic tunnel junctions are great candidates for artificial neurons. I will present few experiments that we have realized where spintronic circuits based on these artificial neurons were used to successfully classify different forms such as spoken digits or vowels, or distinguishing sines from squares.

Dr Danijela Markovic has obtained her PhD at Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, on quantum information with superconducting circuits.. She currently works at the CNRS/Thales Laboratory at Palaiseau, Frsnce on neuromorphic computing with spin torque nano-oscillators.

KEYNOTE: FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY 1h 30m

The Convener of this keynote session is: Prof. Yoshinobu UNNO (KEK, JP)

Instrumentation is the great enabler of science both pure and applied. New directions in science are launched by new tools much more often than by new concepts. Instrumentation is critical to the missions of fundamental research into the nature of quantum mechanics and general relativity, astrophysics, and particle physics and in the development of advanced technologies that enable our modern society. To explore the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space and time, to explore the cosmos and the objects within it and to understand the workings of the human body and mind, and to diagnose and treat disease; we are in the midst of a new golden age of discovery.

In the 20th century, the discovery, formulation and understanding of quantum mechanics heralded a new generation of scientific advances that in turn led to technologies from micro-electronics and computers to MRI, which are vital in sustaining and improving the human condition. These technologies underpin significant sections of the economies of developed nations and have driven the “1st Quantum Revolution”. Future scientific and technological exploration, will have deep and transformational consequences and form part of a “2nd Quantum Revolution”, embedding quantum technologies into the fabric and to the service of our society. In the near-term this will profoundly influence areas including communication, finance, healthcare, aerospace, and defence.

The LHC and new experiments being planned at proposed new accelerators, deep underground, on mountain summits, at the poles, in space, and quantum sensing on the table-top, together will teach us more about the origin of mass, explain the matter anti-mater asymmetry of the universe, determine if extra spatial dimensions exist, reveal the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and probe the Planck scale. The application of the technologies developed will be applied to medical imaging, biomedical engineering and other aspects of modern life. For the very first time we may come to know how our universe was born, how it will evolve and its ultimate fate, and more about humankind and our place within it.
