TALENT MC ITN

• Marie Curie Initial Training Network is in the context of the ATLAS Tracker Upgrade program

• Aims at career development of early stage researchers in the field of instrumentation for radiation detection.

• Pilots the development, the construction and up to the operation of a new precision pixel detector for the ATLAS experiment, the Insertable B-Layer detector (IBL), and for future precision tracking detectors.

TALENT TechnologiesNew technical solutions are required to upgrade or construct new infrastructures and detectors for the LHC experiments.Running the research facilities at increased intensity levels pose a need to significantly improve the detector technologies mainly due to the significant increased of the radiation level and of the data volume.

Answering these challenges require vigorous collaboration between industry and research on:• Radiation-hard precision pixel sensors

(WP2)• Radiation-hard high-density

electronics and interconnection technologies (WP3)

• New mechanical integration methods for light-weight support and cooling systems (WP4)

• Detector performance and system integration (WP5)

TALENT has a special focus on dissemination, knowledge transfer and external research funding (WP6)

WP2: Precision Sensors• Optimal design reached for IBL, while

optimization is required for Upgrade• 3 sensor technologies under production:

silicon planar, silicon 3D and CVD diamonds

• Rooms for further development• Measure charge collection properties• Investigate radiation hardness• Study designs for pixel detectors and

beam monitors

planar 3D 5

WP3: Electronics and Interconnection• New data transmission and off-detector readout

system• Qualification and system testing of readout and

powering systems• Research in 3D integration methods TSV (Through

Silicon Vias) for future high-density pixel detectors• New powering schemes for future trackers• Integrated and simplified detector to FE

interconnection – HV-CMOSPMOS NMOS

WP4: Mechanics and Cooling• Design of light weight stiff composite structures for

detector support

• Qualification of materials

• Measurements of thermo-mechanical properties on support prototypes

• Design and construction of high- efficiency CO2 cooling system

• Common CAD software procedures for integration

WP 5: System integration• Types

– Design and construction of prototypes for the IBL detector integration – qualification of thermal and mechanical properties

• Signal processing software– Development and optimization of signal processing

software

• Integration of modules on staves– Integration of modules on staves and qualification of staves

• Integration of staves – Integration of staves to the full detector system and

detector commissioning

• Overall IBL performance characterization

WP 6: Knowledge Exchange • Study current technology needs in ATLAS

• Create map of external R&D funding instruments

• Benchmark available knowledge and technology transfer methods

• Stimulate knowledge exchange with industrial partners

• Business study to find industrial applications

9

Organization of training

• Researchers recruited by Partners– ESRs for 36 months and ERs for 24 months

• High quality independent research projects– Each researcher is assigned to an individual research project– ESRs are enrolled in PhD programs within academic partners– Secondments from industry to academia and vice versa– Both S&T and complementary skill training to researchers

• Events– Network organizes workshops, summer schools, joint training courses

10

Industry-Academia cooperation

• Enhanced knowledge exchange between academia and industry working in the field of particle detection

• Great potential to long-term intersectoral R&D collaborations within the network but also with actors outside the network

11

Technology transfer• Increases the R&D efficiency

– new technical solutions for future scientific infrastructures and industrial applications

• New innovative solutions – for fields such as medicine, cancer therapy, aeronautics etc.

• TALENT R&D outcomes have market potential – Outcomes of the research can be exploited outside the project as well

- radiation sensors- integrated electronics- light-weight mechanical structures- CO2 cooling
