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

Discussing synergies between particle physics, astrophysics and nuclear physics
Discussing synergies between particle physics, astrophysics and nuclear physics One overarching objective of science is to further our understanding of the universe, from its early stages to its current state and future evolution. This depends on gaining insight on the universe’s most macroscopic components, for example galaxies and stars, as well as describing its smallest
