1. Upgraded Facility for Development of Silicon and Diamond Particle Detector Systems PARTICLE DETECTORS Tome Anticic FP7 REGPOT, Start summer 2010

2. Participants deciding on how much money to ask for... • 3 largest DEP laboratories • Laboratory for ion beam interactions • Laboratory for nuclear physics • Laboratory for high energy physics Dr. Stjepko Fazinic Dr. Milko Jaksic Dipl. ing. Natko Skukan Dipl. ing. Mladen Bogovac Dr. Tonci Tadic Dr. Iva Bogdanovic ~33 employees, 15 directly included Dr. Neven Soic Dr. Mladen Kis Dr. Suzana Szilner Dr. Zoran Basrak Dr. Roman Caplar Dr. Sasa Blagus Dr. Tome Anticic Dr. Vuko Brigljevic Dr. Tatjana Susa

3. Project goal • Even though DEP has • Excellent physicists, • Active on numerous top experiments, • Posseses good know-how, • Has an excellent detector testing faciltity (Van De Graaff) • lack of equipment,instrumention, staff, detectors, (and cooperation) prevents • A much more prominent role in international experiments, • Greater scientific impact • A larger experimental contribution to international and local experimental facilties. Problem: FP7 project that builds on exisitng know-how, puts to use existing strong facilties, uses existing membership in top experiments in order to significantly increase the experiemntal capacity and human potential, while at the same time addresing MANY of the weaknesses given in the SWOT analysis Solution • silicon detectors and readout • diamond detectors and readout • testing detectors: vacuum chamber and laser system • DAQ and detector control Focus

4. “Why bother/is the solution available?”: HOW does Europe profit from this project? The trend in nuclear and particle physics experiments is the deployment of ever more precise and specialized particle detectors. However, the experimental facilities in Europe are often overbooked and understaffed to meet the demands for the timely development and testing of such detectors.

8. Silicon • silicon detectors for charged particles detection (thin 10-20 μm small area detectors, 1D position sensitive detectors, double-sided strip detectors, thin 20-30 μm large area strip detectors and position sensitive strip detectors). The estimated cost for these is 83500 €. • State-of-the-art silicon pixel detectors: NA61 and CMS at CERN. The estimated cost for these is 41500 €. • Procurement of detector readout electronics and modules including crates and related materials. Included are pre-amplifiers, multi-channel amplifiers, gate generators, FIFOs, logic units, multi-channel fast discriminators, counters, logic analyser, and power supplies. Estimated cost is 58000 €. Material costs, including cabling, connectors and adapters are about 14300 €. + 1 Foreign expert

9. Diamond • Procurement of state-of-the-art diamond detectors: CERN, FAIR (CBM). The estimated cost for these is 62500 €. • Procurement of diamond detector readout electronics and modules, and related materials. Estimated cost is 28500 €. Material costs, including cabling, connectors and adapters are about 5500 €. + 1 Foreign expert

10. Detector testing: Vacuum chamber + laser • Procurement of equipment/tools for assembly of the vacuum chamber. Included are a dedicated vacuum system (pumps, valves and vacuum-meters), a beam-guiding system (electro-magnetic elements and collimators) and a detector signal feed-through system for large number of detector elements. The estimated cost is 79000 €. Material cost is about 8500 €. • Procurement of a 3-stage goniometer to be able to rotate a detector in the vacuum chamber. Estimated cost is 22500 €. • Procurement of a table-top laser testing setup. Included is an optical table, motorized x-y translation stage with micrometer accuracy, and a mW CW laser.
