Development of detectors

Development of detectors represents an important activity of our Department. Recently we participated, among other things, in the development of

  • radiation hard pixel detectors for the ATLAS experiment;
  • silicon pad detectors for the electromagnetic ECal calorimeter of the CALICE project;
  • pixel detectors for the MediPix project

These research activities are supported by EU projects

  • AIDA – Advanced European Infrastructures for Detectors at Accelerators;
  • EUDET – Detector R&D towards the International Linear Collider.
