Novel Photon Detection Systems
Keynote talk
Recent developments in photo-detectors and photo-detector systems are reviewed. The main emphasis is made on SiPMs - novel very attractive photo-detectors. Their main features are described. Properties of detectors manufactured by different producers are compared. Different applications are discussed including calorimetery, muon detection, tracking, Cherenkov light detection, and time of...

Oral Contribution
The impressive development of novel photodetectors for Cherenkov imaging devices has allowed to achieve the very demanding hadron identification performance required to study CP violation in B meson decays and to assure a successful operation in the very harsh environment produced by colliding lead nuclei head-on at the unprecedented energies of the LHC collider. However, the design of the...

Oral Contribution
The Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has lead tungstate crystals as the active medium. The photodetectors used to detect the scintillation light must be fast, sensitive, radiation-hard, and operate with significant internal gain in a 4T magnetic field for many years. CMS developed two different technologies to...

Oral Contribution
M-I3 is a consortium of eleven universities and research laboratories whose mission is to develop complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensors (APS) and to apply these sensors to a range of imaging challenges. A range of sensors has been developed: OPIC - designed for in-pixel intelligence; FPN - designed to develop novel techniques for reducing fixed pattern noise; HDR...

Novel Photon Detection Systems
Oral Contribution
High throughput photon counting with high time resolution is a niche application area where vacuum tube technologies can still outperform solid state devices. Applications in the life sciences will benefit greatly from performance enhancements both in event timing accuracy and detector throughput. The goal of the HiContent project is to develop a detector system specifically designed for...
