AIDA-2020 spearheads European detector R&D
AIDA-2020 spearheads European detector R&D Detectors are what makes particle physics an experimental science. Pushing detector technologies and facilities beyond the frontiers of scientific innovation is critical in advancing high-energy physics. As such, current detectors must be improved and upgraded, whilst new technology, concepts and applications for future detectors need to be developed. The AIDA-2020

Micro-pattern gaseous detectors applications for imaging purposes, and the prospects of the actual developments
Micro-pattern gaseous detectors applications for imaging purposes, and the prospects of the actual developments Introduction Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are a family of detectors with gas as active medium. They were conceived in order to overcome the limitations of the Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs) [1] with respect to position resolution, their capability to cope with

LHC experiments go greener: Strategies for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the detector systems
LHC experiments go greener: Strategies for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the detector systems At the LHC experiments a wide range of gas mixtures is used for the operation of different gaseous detectors. Some of these gases, such as C2H2F4, CF4 and SF6, are indicated as greenhouse gases (GHG) due to their high Global

The Straw Detector in the NA62 Experiment
The Straw Detector in the NA62 Experiment The NA62 experiment is the successor of a previous kaon decay experiment (NA48) operated in the same experimental area at the CERN SPS (see Fig.1). In December 2008, the CERN Research Board has authorized the collaboration to build new detectors, which are tailored to measure the very rare

Radiation Monitors Tested on Orion Space mission
Radiation Monitors Tested on Orion Space mission On Friday 5 December, NASA's new Orion spaceship, a capsule built to take humans further into space than ever before, made its first test flight. The flight marked the first time, since Apollo 17 was launched to the moon in 1972, that a spacecraft built for humans traveled
