Objectives

The main objective of this work package is to develop beyond state-of-the-art detector technology for the instrumentation of the ESFRI projects ESS and FAIR and other European RIs. The work within WP7 also fosters synergy effects in detector technology of thermal and cold neutron beams at ESS on one side and nuclear and high energy physics on the other. The development of large-size, fast monolithic active CMOS pixel sensors (MAPS) and their integration to a high-rate silicon tracker of extremely low material budget are also an objective:

  • MAPS-CMOS technologies for silicon trackers;
  • New methods for effective integration of MAPS sensors;
  • The development of next generation of neutron detectors;
  • Pilot exploration to introduce MAPS sensors in neutron detection applications
  • Training of next generation of neutron detector experts;
  • School for young scientists on particle detection technologies
