This project focuses on the development of ASIC electronics for the ILC Forward-Calorimeter and Diamond Detectors. Two different approaches are being taken: project-driven integration of an ESR into the electronics development for the international detector project, and application-driven development of cutting-edge diamond detectors. The project plan includes activities such as VLSI design, simulations, layout, analog front-end, data conversion, digital readout, and prototype ASIC testing.

Two different approaches • Project driven: Very active VLSI ASIC development group integrates an ESR into a challenging electronics development for an international detector project: • AGH has taken over the readout electronics development for the ILC LumiCal Forward Calorimeter • Application driven: Cutting edge diamond detector application development seeks ER for a generation transfer of knowledge in high speed microwave analogue ASIC electronics from highly specialized expert to step down soon. • Proceed with the PADI diamond detector pixel readout multi channel ASIC development by Mircea Ciobanu who will retire at the end of 2009.
LumiCal architecture Si/W sandwich calorimeter, 2 half barrels, each 30 layers • Signal: from 2 fC – 10 000 fC • Occupancy: up to ~20% • Sensors: Cdet10-100 pF • Inter bunch time ~ 350 ns Each layer consists of 0.35cm thick tungsten and 300µm thick Si sensor Single detector layer 24 azimuthal sectors, each sector with ~64 radial pads
Prospective ESR activities (recruitment in progress) • VLSI design, simulations, layout • Analog Front-end • Data conversion • Digital readout • Prototype ASIC testing • FPGA digital readout Precise weighting of activities will heavily depend upon personal preferences, experience and capability of the ESR

Single Crystal- CVD Diamond Detectors for Spectroscopy and Timing pixelized detector will allow GHz individual particle detection including essential timing information: start, veto and interaction t0 determination
Summary for ER engagement on WP11 at GSI • Deep fundamental technological research with important implications to detector system performance! • pixelized diamond detectors for start and t0 (dt < 30ps) • further broad applications with RPC TOF detectors • Pick-up and expand on Mircea Ciobanu´s first PADI 4 channel prototype before he leaves to Rumania for his pension. (Mircea is GSI´s in house Visiting Scientist) • Close interaction with a powerful analogue ASIC development group essential for persistance of this work and technology transfer. MC-Pad is a well matched vehicle!
