IFIN-HH – 20.11.2012
AreasFrom the user point of view (CERN-
experiments):
• Electronics / detectors
• inter-connect (electrical/optical)
• detector ensembles
• IT/C
• flash algorithms
• GRID / HPC
• mechanics
• fine-mechanics
• support assemblies
Electronics / detectors• interconnect
• micro-electronics (MCM-D, Kapton, BeO)
• bump-bonding (i.e. - w/ IZM-Berlin)
• optical (electro-optical converters)
• micro/electronic test-benches
• detectors
• calorimetry, mirrors, crystals, ... assembly
• liquid/gas flow control automation
• data-acquisition (slow-control)
IT / C• flash algorithms
• trigger software
• DSP / FPGA firmware
• online monitoring (trk/vtx-ing, histo’s)
• hierarchical un/packing (C++ overhead)
• GRID / HPC
• interconnect technology (i.e. - Myrinet)
• custom-design systems (... competition)
• control / monitoring s/w (IBM-Informix)
Mechanics• fine-mechanics
• optical/computer survey tables
• fine drilling (i.e. – pressure end-plates)
• fine processing (i.e. – ablation, etc)
• fine-positioning (i.e. – piezo/mechanical)
• support assemblies
• controlled rigidity types (Be, BeO, etc)
• massive (magnets, calorimeters, fluids)
• surface coatings
Research - Industry• research – CERN connection
• define project, split into tasks
• define equipment demands
• contact industrial partners
• industry – research connection
• contract w/ CERN
• sub-contract w/ research some parts
• joint testing (surveying, test-beam, etc)
• joint delivery/implementation at CERN
IT Component• R&D / test-beam
• automated calibrations
• detector alignments

IT Component• R&D / test-beam
• automated calibrations
• detector alignments
research specific software
• highly collaborative
• running
• efficiency monitoring
• functioning parameters’ monitoring
Conclusions
• collaborative endeavour
• highly custom-defined
• CERN – research – industry
• Q&A / testing programme integrated among partners (production, research, on-site at CERN)
• opportune PPP partnership
• innovative (i.e. MCM-D, Objectivity, etc)
