WP4 – Access to Research Infrastructures for Detectors
Coordinator Marko Mikuž (JSI)
This activity aims at providing TA to various facilities having energetic beams (protons, mesons, muons, electrons) and irradiation facilities in mixed hadron and g fields. These measurements are necessary to study the effect of detectors and associated equipment in-beam, required for the detectors upgrades for operation at the HL-LHC and construction of new detectors for the future.
WP Goals
- Providing transnational access to top level European Research Infrastructures for R&D on HEP detectors
– TA complement to AIDAinnova - Access to RI’s free of charge
– Tailored to detector R&D where dedicated funding is often a problem - Covers 3 types of research infrastructures, grouped into tasks
– Test Beams (3 facilities)
– Detector Characterization (2 facilities)
– Irradiations (6 facilities) - Service Improvements at each RI to improve access
- Research Infrastructures ready to accept EURO-LABS users
- EURO-LABS WP4 shall facilitate Detector R&D in HEP during the next four years
