Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The IRTG “Development and Application of Intelligent Detectors” aimed at making significant contributions to current and future large scale particle and nuclear physics experiments by combining and enhancing the interaction among the various specialists that are needed to design, build, operate and analyze the data of these experiments. The IRTG in particular fostered work on the LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS and LHCb as well as on experiments at GSI facilities like FOPI. In addition, several detector R&D programs for future particle and nuclear physics experiments were initiated and put forward during the time of the IRTG; these include work within the CALICE collaboration on the design of a high-granular imaging hadron calorimeter, research for the new Mu3e experiment at PSI and the development of timing detector for the future CBM experiment at FAIR. During the nine years of funding the IRTG was operated very smoothly and effective and reached all its main goals as stated in the application, i.e.: • The IRTG provided the framework to connect the different cultures involved in the design and operation of modern detection systems. In brought together people specialized in detector design, analog and digital electronics, data taking, data handling and data analysis. • Within the framework of the IRTG important contributions to major detector systems of several particle physics experiments were made. Among these are: – the first level calorimeter trigger of ATLAS, – the Level 1 Track Trigger for ATLAS, – the outer tracker of LHCb, – the transition radiation detector of ALICE, – the high level trigger of ALICE, – the time-of-flight system of CBM. • IRTG students centrally participated in a wealth of analyses studying the data taken with the above detectors and experiments. • The IRTG identified ways to enhance the knowledge transfer among the participants and optimize the mutual education. • The IRTG provided a network that allows to easily find experts at the interface of experimental particle and nuclear physics to information technologies. • The IRTG fostered participation in new R&D projects and helped to combine the existing experience to initiate new ideas and experiments (e.g. Mu3e) The IRTG has clearly demonstrated its supporting and integrating role by helping the participating communities to foster their communication and to gain from each others expertise. In addition, it helped to identify strategies to optimize this sometimes very difficult process, something which is of particular interest also for future activities. One of the most efficient tools emerging from the IRTG are the so called “hands-on” courses introduced during the second funding period. By allowing students to directly work with the tools and materials (detectors, readout components, analysis tools) of other involved groups many of the abstract concepts become much clearer and are much easier understood. At the same time, also many supposedly trivial problems that never show up in any of the standard lectures are addressed and help to generate the awareness for the complexity of detector technologies. Last but not least, the common work in small groups results in a much improved communication among the participants of the courses.
