IRTG Fall School 2010, Heidelberg, Oct./Nov. 2010
Radiation Tolerant Detectors in High Energy Physics
With increasing available energies and luminosities of the today's
accelerators, damages caused to the detectors by radiation
became a very serious issue. Nowaday's it is unavoidable to design
experiments in high energy physics in a way that they can sustain
high radiation
doses.
The aim of the school is to bring to the attention
of the participants recent developments in the techniques, which allow
to make exeprimental equipment more radiation resistent.
During the week of the school participants will learn about radiation damages
that occure both in the detectos as well as in the read-out electronics. Special focus
will be put on the techniques of improving the radiation hardness of equipment
(
see the poster).
Two days of the school will be devoted to practical excersises during which
participants will prepare their own fault-tolerant FPGA designs.
Traditionally, one day will be spent on some leisure activities in the
surrounding area.
