Scientific Overview

The SNRI-VIII course is structured in morning and afternoon sessions.

Morning sessions will be mainly devoted to seminars given by worldwide recognized detector experts (for a total of ~ 12 hours). They will be held at the Physics Department in Genova.

  • Prof. Eraldo Oliveri (CERN) – Research and Development efforts for Gaseous Detectors 
  • Prof. Giulio Pellegrini (IMB-CNM) – Research and Development efforts for Solid State Detectors 
  • Prof. Massimiliano Fiorini (INFN/Universita' Ferrara)– Research and Development efforts for Photon Detectors and Particle ID 
  • Prof. Roberto Ferrari (INFN Pavia) – Research and Development efforts for Calorimeters 

The visit to  ASG Superconductors (Genova) replaces  4 hours  of face-to-face seminars and includes  an introduction by Dr. Stefania Farinon (INFN Genova).

Afternoon sessions will be devoted to practical tutorials (~17 hours). “Hands-on” laboratory exercises will allow participants to test detectors and techniques.

  • DarkSide SiPM tile characterization 
  • Characterization of high speed data transmission lines 
  • A streaming Read-Out data acquisition framework for HEP detectors 
  • Non-destructive composition analyses of the atmospheric particulate matter 
  • Low Temperature Detectors 
  • 2 hours  on Magnetic fields Calculations are foreseen  on Friday  afternoon. This course will be  activated only if a minimum  attendance of 5 persons will be reached. Interest in attending it will be asked after the class is defined.
