Knowledge Sharing CERN considers knowledge and technology transfer as an integral part of its mission.
CERN technologies have applications in several domains with high relevance to society.
Showing tangible benefits to society from key application domains important to illustrate the impact and role of fundamental research as a driver for innovation.
CERN as an education and training centre
CERN as a catalyser for collaboration

Detector Technologies
Challenge: sample the results of up to 600 million proton-proton collisions per second!
LHC detectors have sophisticated electronic trigger systems that precisely measure the passage time of a particle to accuracies in the region of a few billionths of a second. The trigger system also registers the location of the particles to millionths of a metre. This is essential for ensuring that the particle recorded in successive layers of a detector is one and the same.

Medipix• A family of single photon counting
integrated circuits used in Hybrid Silicon Pixel Detectors
• The Medipix collaborations helps with development and dissemination of the technology
• A good example of how (fundamental) science fosters innovation which can be transferred to society… and back!

CERN@school allows students to use a Timepix chip in the lab to visualise radiation
Langton Ultimate Cosmic ray Intensity Detector uses 5 Timepix chips to monitor the radiation environment in Space
Data from LUCID and CERN@school detectors will be uploaded to the Grid and made available for students to analyse

CERN Technologies and innovationCombining accelerators, detectors and IT to fight cancer
CANCER
Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation Manjit Dosanjh– SKF, 11.05.2013
Cancer is a large and growing challenge Need: Earlier diagnosis, better control, fewer side-effects
How?• new technologies
• Imaging, dosimetry, accelerator & detector technology• Better understanding – genetics, radiobiology…• Advanced healthcare informatics …
• international collaboration• If progress is to be maintained
Although cancer is a common condition, each tumour is individual
Need personalised approach Large patients data to understand the key drivers of the
disease
Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation Manjit Dosanjh– SKF, 11.05.2013
Catalysing collaboration in health fieldChallenges:
•Bring together physicists, biologists, medical physicists, doctors•Cross-cultural at European and global level
Why is CERN/HEP well placed to do this?
•It is widely acknowledged as a provider of technologies and as a catalyst for collaboration.•It is international, non-commercial, not a health facility.

There is no substitute for RT in the near futureThe rate of patients treated with RT is increasing
Present Limitation of RT: ~30% of patients treatment fails locally

Hadrontherapy: all started in 1946In 1946 Robert Wilson:– Protons can be used clinically– Accelerators are available– Maximum radiation dose can be placed into
the tumour– Proton therapy provides sparing of normal
