Advanced femtosecond laser technology for particle detector characterisation and processing

拟议的工作方案将推动飞秒激光进程，以(A)开发一种基于微米分辨率的多光子吸收的多功能探测器表征仪器。(B)开发直接激光写入钻石中的石墨化电极。其目标是为探测器的开发提供一种低成本、高精度的表征方法，并建立3D钻石探测器作为一种成熟的探测器技术，使粒子探测器具有前所未有的辐射硬度。已确定的受益于这一技术发展的关键项目是粒子物理领域，用于能量前沿的实验，以及用于癌症治疗的放射治疗领域的诊断设备。

The proposed programme of work will advance the femto-second laser process to (a) Develop a versatile detector characterisation instrument based on multi-photon absorption with micron resolution.(b) Develop direct laser writing for graphitic electrodes in diamond. The goals are to provide a low cost high precision characterisation method for detector developments and to establish 3D diamond detectors as a mature detector technology enabling particle detectors with unprecedented radiation hardness. Identified key projects benefiting from this technology development are e.g. in the area of Particle Physics for experiments at the energy frontier, and for diagnostic devices in the area of radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
