Time to Digital Converters (TDCs) perform conversion of TIs into a digital word. In the case of KM3NeT, thirty-one TDCs are used to discretize the photomultiplier output. Both the event width and the instant when it happens, require an accuracy of 1 ns. An oversampling technique has been used to achieve this resolution. The proposed TDC readout is based on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Xilinx Kintex-7 with low resource occupancy and controlled by embedded Lattice Micro LM32 processor. On the present article the TDC system is presented in detail.

GPGPU bring high performance computing with off-the-shelf products. However the full exploitation of this new computing paradigm will not be possible if software applications only partially employs massive parallelism. High Energy Physics experiments have much to gain adopting this new computing paradigm. In fact, the expected gain in performance both in reducing the application latency or in dealing with the data high throughput increase will allow to employ systems based on GPGPU for data acquisition increasing the available computing power with smaller electric power consumption. All these features are very interesting for using GPGPU at trigger level in an on-line environment to provide fast decision and high rejection power. In view of possible applications in a trigger system we will show, using realistic examples based on data from current LHC High Energy Physics experiments, the improvement in performance of typical HEP intensive computing applications after tuning and optimization for running on GPGPU. The methodology to improve the performance will also be shown together with results using different GPGPU architectures. In particular the porting to GPGPU architecture of two typical HEP reconstruction algorithms will be shown: tracking in the inner detector and jet clustering in the calorimeter. Tracking in the very dense LHC environment is very challenging with multiple minimum bias interactions superimposed to the high transfered momentum one. Both pattern recognition and track fitting would benefit from massive parallelism for high troughput processing that can be fully exploited at trigger level. Also jet clustering with the very fine granularity of LHC experiments calorimetry would profit from the massive parallelism offered by GPGPU.

One natural and effective way to increase the target mass is to build a TPC with larger cross-sectional area and longer drift distance. Construction and operation of such a detector leads to many new issues and technological challenges which need to be addressed. One example is that electronegative impurities in the liquid must be at or below the ppb level, to prevent loss of the charge signal. This challenge can be overcome with an efficient filtering system for the evaporated liquid, capable of a circulation rate on the order of 100 SLPM. This high flow rate, however, requires an increased heat input to take advantage of the high cross-section for purification of the hot Xenon gas. Another well-known, major challenge to a tonne-scale detector is the requirement of very high voltage (~ 50-100 kV) to generate a suitable drift field inside the TPC. Work is under way at Columbia University to study these and other issues associated with the construction of XENON1T with the so-called DEMONSTRATOR R&D program. In this talk, we will highlight the major results of this effort. Summary An extensive R&D program is on ongoing at the Columbia University to address the main technical issues of a possible multi-ton DarkMatter LXe TPC. In this talk we review in detail the studies done so far.

Among the sub-detector systems in AILCE, there are two types of calorimetry in the central barrel. One is EMCal (Lead-Scintillator, a sampling electromagnetic calorimeter with a WLS fiber and APD readout), having a wide geometrical acceptance to measure jets, and photons and neutral mesons with a moderate energy resolution. Another type of calorimeter is PHOS (PHOton Spectrometer), PbWO$_4$ crystal with APD readout for high granularity and higher precision energy measurement for photons. In this talk, we review those detectors performance in ALICE, and show ongoing upgrade projects in calorimetry, such as 1) DCAL (Di-jet Calorimeter), an extension of EMCal coverage to measure back-to-back jets, 2) PHOS upgrade to achieve 50 kHz readout speed in minimum bias Lead-Lead collisions at LHC-Run-2. Furthermore, we present an upgrade proposal for the forward direction calorimetry, FOCAL, to measure direct photons in $\eta = 3.3 - 5.3$, by using a nobel technology of silicon photo-diodes with absorbers based electromagnetic calorimeter for photons, together with a conventional hadron calorimeter for jets. The current status of FOCAL R\&D project will be presented.

Abstract content The MOLLER collaboration is currently preparing an experiment to measure the Weak charge of the electron to a fractional accuracy of 2.3% at very low momentum transfer, using parity violating electron scattering. At this precision, the experiment will be sensitive to the interference of the electromagnetic amplitude with new neutral current amplitudes as weak as $10^{-3}\cdot G_{F}$. The experiment will take place at Jefferson National Laboratory, in Newport News Virginia, USA. The experiment will measure the asymmetry in the number of 11 GeV polarized electrons scattered from electrons in a liquid hydrogen target, as a function of electron helicity. The asymmetry has a Standard Model predicted size of 35 ppb (part per billion). Together with the goal precision this requires a high luminosity beam which, at low momentum transfer and very forward scattering angles, leads to detector event rates at the level of GHz/cm2. This requires either very high detector segmentation or current mode operation. The experiment will need to employ several detector technologies, including tracking detectors and current mode detectors. The challenges we face regarding detector design include radiation hardness (up to 15 MRad in certain regions), low noise and high efficiency operation (light yield), and background sensitivity. We are currently exploring highly segmented quartz Cherenkov detectors for current mode operation and GEM technology for tracking detectors. I will provide an overview of the current detector design, including specific challenges we are facing, as well as some results from initial prototype tests.

It consists of a crystal and PMT setup that is read-out using fast ADC and FPGA technology. The maximum dead-time has been established at 1.14 us and the energy resolution at 662 keV is 7%. Full spectral analysis has been implemented for naturally occurring radioisotopes of Potassium, Thorium, Uranium, Radon and their progeny. Further developments, including pile-up correction, neutron detection and miniaturization will be discussed. This technology allows the production of sensor nodes that can be used in many applications. Special attention will be given in to sensor nodes for measurements in hard to reach environments. Environmental monitoring in remote regions of Canada will be discussed as an example as well as precision farming, nuclear reactor monitoring and mining.

It delivers proportional and fast signals, achieves high efficiency to minimum ionising particles with a compact design and shows well-uniform performance over meter-square areas. The current R&D focuses on large-size spark-protected Micromegas with integrated front-end electronics. It targets an application at future linear colliders (LC) and possible upgrades of LHC experiments for the running at high luminosity. Prototyping work and characterisation results will be reported with a special emphasis on the impact of the resistive layer on the calorimeter signals. Summary A few technologically-advanced prototypes of 1x1 m2 were constructed. Optimised for Particle-Flow hadron calorimetry at a LC, they are segmented into pads of 1x1 cm2, each read out by simple threshold electronics. Their standalone performance were studied in great details in testbeams. In addition, expected performance of a Micromegas calorimeter were deduced from the measured three-dimensional shape of high-energy pion showers inside the CALICE semi-digital hadron calorimeter (SDHCAL). Absorption in the gas of highly ionising particles produced in hadron showers occasionally triggers a discharge. This can be a serious show-stopper for high-rate applications such as forward calorimetry at a high-luminosity LHC experiment. Discharge protections based on resistive films were successfully implemented on small-size prototypes. Several resistive configurations were actually studied to minimise the time necessary for charge evacuation and the resulting efficiency and linearity losses.

In order to improve the ALICE physics capabilities, the apparatus will be substantially upgraded during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). In particular, the Inner Tracking System will be replaced by a new detector based on an innovative radiation tolerant monolithic active pixel sensor (MAPS) of recent conception, whose R&D is now well advanced. This talk will focus on the first large scale pixel chip prototype, ALPIDE (ALice PIxel DEtector), developed with this new technology, which is one of the options for the new ITS. As peculiar to MAPS, the pixel chip integrates in the same substrate both the sensing diode elements and the Front End Electronics with 28 um pixel pitch. The use of a monolithic pixel sensor allows to achieve very little material budget in the tracking layers, which can be as low as X/X0=0.3% for those closest to the interaction point. The FEE is designed in the 180 nm CMOS TowerJazz technology taking advantage of deep p-well implants. The deep p-well implants allow to reduce significantly the charge collection competition between PMOS transistors and sensing diodes, and allow to have smaller readout circuitry, which can then be placed inside each pixel. The pixel sensor has a data driven readout architecture based on in-pixel discrimination and on a priority-encoding scheme, which makes it compatible with the 50 KHz interaction rate foreseen for Pb-Pb at the LHC.

The planes are separated into modular detectors, each with cooled silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays for photo-readout. In this talk, we will present the construction and performance of this novel detector, including the intricacies of scintillating fibre ribbon production, constructing precision detector planes with a rigid and light module design, and the integration of the readout components for this detector. The complexities and issues regarding this active part of the SciFi Tracker will be emphasised along with the current solutions and measured performances.

Over 10,000 km of fibre will turned into precision detector elements. The performance of the detector depends crucially on the geometrical and optical fibre parameters and, in particular, on their possible degradation due to ionizing radiation. The dearth of results for this fibre type in the total ionizing dose range of the upgrade, 60 Gy up to 35 kGy, along with conflicting conclusions regarding annealing and dose rate behaviour in literature, required a set of irradiation campaigns to estimate the behaviour of the full detector over its lifetime, especially as it is non-linear with dose. We will present results from the irradiation experiments performed by the LHCb SciFi collaboration over the last two years which show a behaviour due to radiation damage consistent with published models for polystyrene-based fibres, and are able to reproduce these results in various test facilities and beams. Other measurements of the fibre properties will be shown as well.
