12. The Barrel DIRC detector at PANDA

Mr Marvin Krebs (GSI Helmholtzzentrum fuer Schwerionenforschung GmbH)

31/01/2017, 09:00

The PANDA experiment at the future FAIR facility will use antiproton annihilations to investigate open questions in hadron physics in the momentum range of 1.5-15 GeV/c. A Barrel DIRC detector will be built for the PANDA target spectrometer in order to achieve excellent charged particle identification (PID), which is needed to cleanly separate π/K/p. Based on the successful BaBar DIRC...

11. ROPPERI - A TPC readout with Timepix and pads

Ulrich Einhaus (FLC)

For the International Large Detector (ILD) at the planned International Linear Collider (ILC) a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is foreseen as central tracker. The electrons produced in the TPC gas volume are amplified by Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs). One possibility is the usage of Gaseous Electron Multiplier (GEM) foils that amplify the electrons and project the charge cloud onto...

15. Silicon photomultiplier for space application

Mr Max Renschler (Karlruher Institut für Technologie)

31/01/2017, 09:40

The development of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) made great progress in the last years. Compared to conventional Multi Anode Photomultiplier Tubes (MAPMTs), SiPMs have several advantages like a low bias voltage and a robust structure, but also disadvantages like a high temperature dependence and a high dark count rate. To investigate the possibility of replacing conventional MAPMTs with...

16. HILITE - High-Intensity Laser Ion-Trap Experiment

Mr Nils Stallkamp (GSI; Helmholtz Institut Jena)

31/01/2017, 10:00

We are currently setting up a Penning-trap experiment to investigate laser-ion interaction in high-intensity photon fields and study non-linear processes like multi-photon and tunnel ionization of trapped ions. The setup is designed to be transported to different high-intensity laser facilities, like FLASH at DESY, or JETI/POLARIS in Jena. The trap is designed as an open-endcap Penning...

20. Photonic Chip & System Design for Terabit/s Optical Data Transmission

Zhang Yunlong (IPE, KIT)

31/01/2017, 10:20

Future detectors will consist of many millions up to billions individual channels resulting in massive raw data, to develop corresponding readout system is a key problem. IPE, KIT proposed a novel high-speed optical data transmission system based on wavelength division multiplexer. This report will introduce the novelty of the concept, the comprised components of the system and some techniques...
