Building a Microelectronics Foundation for Tomorrow’s Detectors
Building a Microelectronics Foundation for Tomorrow’s Detectors The challenge: smarter chips in harsher places Particle physics detectors have always pushed electronics to their limits. The next generation of tracking systems and calorimeters will depend critically on dense, intelligent, low power and radiation-hard microelectronics: front-end ASICs that can survive for decades in harsh environments, having their

New Staff Members and Fellows
New Staff Members and Fellows Maximilian Babeluk Hi, I’m Max. I recently joined the ALICE ITS3 team, where I work on sensor testing, functional verification, and in the future also chip design – particularly on MOSAIX. My main activities include testing and yield assessment across multiple integration levels (wafer probing to system tests), including data

Neutrinos: the hunt continues at CERN
Neutrinos: the hunt continues at CERN BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/neutrinos-hunt-continues-cern) DsTau is a new project which has been proposed at the CERN SPS to study tau-neutrino (ντ ) production [1] with the aim of providing important data for future ντ measurements. Indications of possible lepton non-universality have been recently reported by

CERN History Days – 1 February 2018
CERN History Days – 1 February 2018 It has been over 20 years since the original CERN History Project concluded. That initiative produced three excellent volumes of CERN history spanning the period from the 1940s to the end of the 1970s. CERN History Days is a new initiative in order to relaunch the Project. Τhe
