64. Imaging Sensors For Space Applications

Thibaut Prod’homme (ESA)

17/05/2024, 09:00

In this 20-min introduction to light detection from space the following topics will covered
Basic concepts behind the operation of imaging sensors
Detector technologies & specifications
Characterizing and modelling detectors

65. Tracking and calorimetry for particle physics

Dave Barney (CERN)

17/05/2024, 09:40

We present a brief introduction to two principle types of detector for use in particle-physics experiments: trackers and calorimeters. We show the basic principles and give examples of the most modern variants of these detectors being prepared for the next phase of operation at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, from around 2029.

67. Thermal neutron detection principles, front end readout and signal processing

Patrick Van Esch (ILL)

17/05/2024, 11:20

The first part of the course will cover thermal neutron detection techniques in general, and a few specific physical readout techniques much used at the ILL in particular. X-Y readout, delay lines and resistive charge division will be handled. The second part will talk about the principles of resistive charge division and the noise concepts which play a role in the front-end electronics. A...
