R&D highlights • Medipix collaboration • Gridpix & RD51 • Development of integrated grid on a chip • C02 cooling • Chip design • Gossipo • Timepix • FEI-4 (Atlas) Els Koffeman - MC PAD Kick off
MC PAD interest • P5 TPC with MPGD readout: Large volume tracking for ILC and PANDA at FAIR based on MPGD and pixel readout. • CERN, DESY, GSI, NIKHEF, UHH • ESR: 3 × 3 yrs • Milestone: Solving the sparkproblem….. • P9 Front-end Electronics for Hybrid Pixel Detectors: New readout architectures for the frond end electronics of the upgrades of ATLAS and CMS pixel detectors • NIKHEF, PSI • ESR: 3 yrs, ER: 2 yrs) • Milestone: Expect ATLAS pixelchip submit by end 2009 Els Koffeman - MC PAD Kick off
Persons • Jan Timmermans • currently at DESY working on TPC in EUDET framework • Harry van der Graaf • in RD51 working on gridpix • Ruud Kluit • (senior) VLSI designer coordinating work on FEI-4 and Gossipo-3. • Els Koffeman • ATLAS silicon strips. Professor at University of Amsterdam and therefore happy to have PhD canidates from the network finishing a PhD thesis (+ one year extra payment !!) Els Koffeman - MC PAD Kick off
