IFIN-HH – 20.11.2012

AreasFrom the user point of view (CERN-

experiments):

• Electronics / detectors

• inter-connect (electrical/optical)

• detector ensembles

• IT/C

• flash algorithms

• GRID / HPC

• mechanics

• fine-mechanics

• support assemblies

Electronics / detectors• interconnect

• micro-electronics (MCM-D, Kapton, BeO)

• bump-bonding (i.e. - w/ IZM-Berlin)

• optical (electro-optical converters)

• micro/electronic test-benches

• detectors

• calorimetry, mirrors, crystals, ... assembly

• liquid/gas flow control automation

• data-acquisition (slow-control)

IT / C• flash algorithms

• trigger software

• DSP / FPGA firmware

• online monitoring (trk/vtx-ing, histo’s)

• hierarchical un/packing (C++ overhead)

• GRID / HPC

• interconnect technology (i.e. - Myrinet)

• custom-design systems (... competition)

• control / monitoring s/w (IBM-Informix)

Mechanics• fine-mechanics

• optical/computer survey tables

• fine drilling (i.e. – pressure end-plates)

• fine processing (i.e. – ablation, etc)

• fine-positioning (i.e. – piezo/mechanical)

• support assemblies

• controlled rigidity types (Be, BeO, etc)

• massive (magnets, calorimeters, fluids)

• surface coatings

Research - Industry• research – CERN connection

• define project, split into tasks

• define equipment demands

• contact industrial partners

• industry – research connection

• contract w/ CERN

• sub-contract w/ research some parts

• joint testing (surveying, test-beam, etc)

• joint delivery/implementation at CERN

IT Component• R&D / test-beam

• automated calibrations

• detector alignments

IT Component• R&D / test-beam

• automated calibrations

• detector alignments

research specific software

• highly collaborative

• running

• efficiency monitoring

• functioning parameters’ monitoring

Conclusions

• collaborative endeavour

• highly custom-defined

• CERN – research – industry

• Q&A / testing programme integrated among partners (production, research, on-site at CERN)

• opportune PPP partnership

• innovative (i.e. MCM-D, Objectivity, etc)
