Read moreBack in the 1980s, Erik Heijne at CERN envisioned that the then fledgling integrated circuit technologies could be employed to create a novel radiation detector. His vision was that all the electronics needed for processing signals from a radiation…
Read moreIn the course of 2007, at the time the ESE group was formed1, several “white paper projects” -an initiative of the Council towards projects for future research- were defined and approved for a start in 2008. ESE was involved in four of them and this…
Read moreThe PH-ESE group (Electronics Systems for Experiments) was established in 2007 from the merging of 5 separate PH electronics groups. The group consisting of ~50 staff members supports all CERN experiments with electronics R&D, services and the…
