Birmingham Experimental Particle Physics Capital Equipment Round 2016

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Capital equipment funded in part by STFC is requested to support the rapidly growing thread of R&D towards new semiconductor detector technologies, which have very wide-ranging relevance, from mobile phone cameras to medicine to fundamental physics. The award underpins a major strategic Birmingham University investment of staff and resources in this area, and in particular supports the Birmingham Instrumentation Laboratory for Particle physics and its Applications (BILPA). The basic equipment requested includes an ultrasonic wire bonder, a semi-automatic semiconductor probe station, a mixed-mode oscilloscope, an edge Transient Current Technique laser system and a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) server. The equipment is essential to establish and maintain a vibrant, active and generic detector R&D programme in Birmingham, which will help the UK grow its leadership a rapidly developing, high tech field.
