ELEC-2005</b> - Electronics in High Energy Physics: Autumn Term (November-December 2005)



ELEC-2005 is a new course series on modern electronics, given by CERN physicists and engineers within the framework of the 2005 Technical Training Programme, in an extended format of the ELEC-2002 course series.

This new, comprehensive course series is designed for people who are not electronics specialists, for example physicists, engineers and technicians working at or visiting the laboratory, who use or will use electronics in their present or future activities, in particular in the context of the LHC accelerator and experiments.

ELEC-2005 is composed of four Terms. The Winter (Introduction to electronics in HEP), Spring (Integrated circuits and VLSI technology for physics), and Summer (System electronics for physics: Issues) Terms already took place. The Autumn Term - Electronics applications in HEP experiments (November-December, 10 lectures) is still open for registration, and has started on November 8th with the following programme:

  • Tuesday 8.11 - Tracking (Geoff Hall).
  • Thursday 10.11 - Calorimetry (Christophe de la Taille).
  • Tuesday 15.11 - Muon detection systems (Jay Chapman).
  • Thursday 17.11 - The PS326 GigaTracker (1): Sensor and detectors (Petra Riedler).
  • Tuesday 22.11 - The ATLAS acquisition (DAQ) and high level trigger (Livio Mapelli).
  • Thursday 24.11 - First level triggers for the LHC experiments (Nick Ellis).
  • Tuesday 29.11 - Electronics of LHC Experiments (1): ATLAS, CMS (Philippe Farthouat, Jordan Nash).
  • Thursday 1.12 - Electronics of LHC Experiments (2): LHCB (Jorgen Christiansen). The PS326 GigaTracker (2): Microelectronics (Giovanni Anelli).
  • Tuesday 6.12 - Detector control systems (Sascha Schmeling).
  • Thursday 8.12 - Electronics of LHC Experiments (3): ALICE (Fabio Formenti). Trends in micro and nanoelectronics (Pierre Jarron).

Lectures take place at CERN on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10h00 to 12h30, in the Training Centre Auditorium (bldg. 593), and are given in English, with questions and answers also possible in French. Separate registration to each Term is required: attendance costs will be of 100.- CHF for this last Term.

Participation to ELEC-2005 is open: attendance to a Term is not a prerequisite to attend subsequent Terms. If you are interested in attending, please discuss with your supervisor and/or your DTO, and apply electronically via EDH. Participation to all sessions in a Term is strongly encouraged. Registered participants will be invited, and attendance will be recorded in the personal training records.

More information, online registration to the Autumn Term and detailed Term programmes are available on the ELEC-2005 webpage, accessible from http://www.cern.ch/TechnicalTraining.
