Although Nikhef’s primary focus is and will be curiosity driven research, pushing the boundaries of the fundamental knowledge, a key intangible societal gain. Nikhef also acknowledges the increased importance of more tangible societal impact, hence resulting in concrete (industrial) applicability (‘valorization’). There are several ways to transfer research results, usually a technology in which Nikhef has vested intellectual property rights (IPR): selling, licensing or become an ‘entrepreneur’. Since several years Nikhef has worked towards enabling this last route. Building further on FOM’s valorization policy and together with our partner, 1&12 Investment Partners, a holding company, called Particle Physics Inside Products (P2IP bv) has been established. P2IP is the legal entity from which Nikhef-FOM can participate in a subsidiary start-up. It has established a supervisory board that monitors its participations (currently three), assesses new opportunities and explores new activities. Recently our sister FOM-institute AMOLF joined P2IP. We will highlight the experiences so far with startup companies emanating from the Nikhef scientific programme. Some of them are not participations of P2IP. We will also sketch the environment of the Amsterdam Venture Lab in which these startup activities are embedded.

03 Mar '14

Beste Hans en Pieter, The abstract submission will be closed tomorrow, Friday February 28 and we would like to give you some further information to complete the rating of all abstracts. We expect to have in your session 10 talks of 20 min, but we will only finalise this number after all abstracts have been rated. It is possible that we will increase the number of slots in your session as there is still room in the overall programme. Therefore, we ask you to propose for talks all the abstracts that meet your requirements for a talk, as we can always reward a poster presentation to the ones we cannot accept as a talk. Ideally, we would like to receive a ranking list to facilitate the assignment of the exact number of talks to each track. We would appreciate if you could complete the rating by Wednesday March 12. Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation, looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam, Jan Visser on behalf of the local organising committee

Abstract content Multigap resistive plate chambers have proven to be the best choice for time-of-flight systems of large experiments such as ALICE, STAR, PHENIX. In the MPD experiment aimed at the study of hot and dense baryonic matter it has been also decided to use MRPCs. To reduce the number of TOF system channels it is advisable to use readout from each end of a strip. Several different prototypes of detectors with different geometries and readout electronics have been tested. The tests of the MRPC prototypes at the Nuclotron deuteron beam demonstrate a time resolution of about 65 ps and an efficiency of 99.8%. This value meets the requirements of the MPD experiment.

We are undertaking an R&D project for the TORCH collaboration, a proposed LHCb upgrade, to develop a novel multi-anode Microchannel Plate detector, with $128 \times 8$ effective pixels in a $5.3 \times 5.3$ cm$^{2}$ active area each with 50 ps RMS timing resolution. The proposed design utilises charge sharing across multiple readout anodes to i) improve spatial resolution beyond the defined anode pitch, ii) provide a well-defined charge footprint for readout even in high magnetic fields and iii) reduce the impact of manufacturing issues when producing high-density multi-anode devices. Simulations of this hybrid multi-anode detector will be presented, covering the expected charge footprint on each readout anode and the impact of utilising charge sharing between anodes to improve the detector’s spatial resolution. This includes simulating the impact of the TORCH project current readout solution using the NINO amplifier/discriminator ASIC and the HPTDC, a 25 ps resolution time-to-digital converter.

The following email has been sent to GRAF, Norman Anthony: === Dear Norman Anthony Graf, The submission of your abstract has been successfully processed. Abstract submitted: <https://indico.cern.ch/event/192695/call-for- abstracts/my-abstracts>. Status of your abstract: <https://indico.cern.ch/event/192695/call- for-abstracts/413/>. See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: GRAF, Norman Anthony Submitted on: 02 March 2014 22:59 Title: mesh2gdml: Importing CAD geometries into Geant4 Abstract content Geant4 is the de facto HEP standard for simulating the interaction of particles with materials and fields. The software toolkit provides a very rich library of basic geometrical shapes, often referred to as “primitives”, plus the ability to define compound geometries, making it capable of supporting extremely complex physical structures. Current versions of Geant4 fully and natively support an xml-based Geometry Description Markup Language (GDML) to define geometries. The ability to directly import CAD geometries into Geant4 is an often requested feature, despite the recognized limitations of the difficulty in accessing proprietary formats, the mismatch between level of detail in producing a part and simulating it, the often disparate approaches to parent-child relationships and the difficulty in maintaining or assigning material definitions to parts. The main impediment to the importation of CAD files into Geant4 has been their proprietary formats. Thanks to the proliferation of rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing processes, the surface tesselation language (STL) format is the industrial standard for handling triangulated meshes and is ubiquitous as an export format for both CAD and other 3D modelling software. In this talk, we present mesh2gdml, a solution which converts an STL file into a GDML file which can be imported directly into Geant4. We believe the approach outlined in this talk provides access to a wider range of geometry inputs and will prove to be useful to a number of user communities. Summary We present a pathway for importing CAD geometries into Geant4. This will enable the response of complex detector stuctures to particles to be simulated in a straightforward manner. No prior knowledge of or experience with C++ or Geant4 would be needed to conduct such studies, making it a perfect solution for small groups working on novel technologies, or those not associated with university groups or large experimental collaborations with such experience.

It features modular packages providing sophisticated simulations of the response of silicon detectors to the passage of charged particles. Sensor classes allow very detailed descriptions of charge carrier movement in silicon detectors: one can list the collecting, absorbing and reflecting regions, properties of silicon (doping, mobility, diffusion length, etc.), and electric and magnetic fields (including TCAD maps). After the charge carriers are generated and collected, the electronics simulation processes this into digital signals. We have defined an interface to specify how any such simulation should communicate with other parts of the package. Since details of signal processing are very sensor specific, it is anticipated that any sensor option will have its own class handling such processing, but we have implemented a number of readout technologies of interest to HEP detectors, such as CCDs and active pixel devices. Common to all the specific electronics simulation are the addition of electronics noise, propagation of the signal to readout, thresholding, and digitization of the signal. The final output is then a list of electronics channels with their corresponding ADC counts, and optionally the time for the signal, replicating the readout from a real detector. We also provide code for cluster finding, pattern recognition, track-finding and fitting, and analysis. The detector is defined by the same xml input files used for the Geant4 detector response simulation, ensuring that simulation and reconstruction geometries are always commensurate by construction. Summary We describe an easy-to-use software toolkit used to fully simulate all aspects of silicon trackers, from signal development in pixels and microstrips, through pattern recognition and track fitting to analysis. We discuss the architecture as well as the performance.

We have developed efficient and flexible tools for detailed physics and detector response simulations which build on the power of the Geant4 toolkit but free the end user from any C++ coding. Geant4 is the de facto high-energy physics standard for simulating the interaction of particles with fields and materials. However, the end user is required to write their own C++ program, and the learning curve for setting up the detector geometry and defining sensitive elements and readout can be quite daunting, especially for those without previous experience or not associated with large collaborations. We have developed the Geant4-based detector simulation program, slic, which employs generic IO formats as well as a textual detector description. Extending the pure geometric capabilities of GDML, LCDD enables fields, regions, sensitive detector readout elements, etc. to be fully described at runtime using an xml file. We also describe how more complex geometries, such as those from CAD programs, can be seamlessly incorporated into the xml files. We have defined generic “hits” which can be used to model sophisticated tracking and calorimetry readouts, but the native Geant4 scoring functionality can also be used for simpler applications. Although developed within the context of HEP collider detectors, the program is completely flexible and can be used to simulate detectors in many different fields. Summary We present a software toolkit and computing infrastructure which allows physicists to quickly and easily contribute to detector design by modeling detector elements without requiring either C++ coding expertise or experience with Geant4. This makes it perfect for small groups in new and emerging technologies, or those not associated with large collaborations or universities with in-house expertise.

On the history and future of silicon photomultipliers in medical imaging and other domains. Abstract content The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a photosensor that can be fabricated in cost-effective CMOS technology while offering high internal gain, fast response, and insensitivity to magnetic fields. The first prototype devices were developed in the late 1990s. Commercial products, including arrays of SiPMs with a total sensitive area of several square cm, became available in the mid-2000’s. The potential of the SiPM as an alternative for the vacuum photomultiplier tube (PMT) in scintillation detectors for nuclear physics, particle physics, medical imaging, and other domains, was quickly recognized by a number of academic and industrial groups worldwide. The high utilization potential of SiPMs, combined with a healthy degree of competition between SiPM developers, has resulted in rapid improvement of their performance, robustness, and availability. Further innovations, such as fully digital implementations of the silicon photomultiplier (dSiPM), have been introduced in the meantime. Today, large-scale application is imminent in the domain of medical imaging, where two of the largest manufacturers of positron emission tomography (PET) devices have just released SiPM-based PET/CT and PET/MRI scanners for clinical use. With a coincidence resolving time (CRT) of ~350 ps FWHM, these systems redefine the state-of-the-art in clinical time-of-flight (TOF) PET imaging. This talk discusses the introduction of SiPMs in PET detector technology as a process of give-and-take with particle physics and other domains, highlights research activities that are expected to further improve PET image quality, and indicates how some of the ongoing developments in TOF-PET(/MRI) instrumentation may be of use to other domains as well.

Our goal is to construct a modern, high performance, low radioactivity photo detector working at liquid argon and xenon temperature. The idea is to replace the classical dynodic chain of a PMT with a SiPM acting as an electron multiplying detector embedded in a low-radioactive fused silica envelope. This invention would represent a major breakthrough for the experiments of direct dark matter search with noble liquids. The status of the art of the project as well as preliminary results will be illustrated in this talk.
