  10. 40. HEP detectors overview and example
    Christian Bohm (Stockholm University (SE))
    09/07/2018, 10:30

    In order to detect and properly identify particles in High Energy Physics experiments you need to combine results from a combination sub-detectors. There is usually a large number of particles to handle at the same time and many events to study.
    I will talk about different types of sub-detectors, how they are combined, different architectures and how this affects the construction of the Data...

    At the start of the school I will give a very brief introduction to the Unix shell. Most of the exercises during the school will make use of the shell in one way or another, so it is important to be comfortable with it. I will explain why the shell is so powerful, and give some every-day use examples so it is easier for novices to get around on the system.

    After discussions with some of you,...

  18. 41. Waveform Digitzing and Signal Processing
    Stefan Ritt (Paul Scherrer Institut (CH))
    10/07/2018, 15:00

    Data acquisition in nuclear and particle physics requires the precise measurement of signal amplitudes and time from detectors. This lecture first gives an overview of traditional methods using signal shaping, various discriminators and analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and time-to-digital converters (TDC). It then moves over to high speed waveform digitizing, a field which recently made...
