SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Phillipp Windischofer (University of Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Location: via Zoom \nSpeaker: Phillipp Windischofer (University of Oxford) \nTitle: Detectors for Physics and Physics For Detectors \nAbstract: \nPowerful instrumentation has been a key enabler for many discoveries at the forefront of fundamental physics\, from gravitational waves to the Higgs boson. In this seminar\, I will argue that the converse is also true. I will show that applying established tools from physics to the study of particle detectors is a compelling strategy for identifying synergies and moving beyond the current boundaries of our instrumentation.\n \nStarting from classical electrodynamics\, I will explain how reciprocity relations give rise to a rigorous description of the electrical signals induced in detectors by moving charged particles\, and how this opens up new possibilities for the simulation of radio arrays for neutrino detection. Continuing with many-body quantum mechanics\, I will then highlight how Fock-space methods can be used to characterise the time resolution of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). Taken together\, these calculations suggest that SPADs can also act as fast detectors for charged particles\, and I will end by presenting the first results from a recent beam test at the CERN SPS that demonstrate this capability.\n \nJoin Zoom Meeting\n https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/93457647521 \nMeeting ID: 934 5764 7521
