RECFA

A RECFA Coordination Group for Detector R&D in FP7 Programs was proposed and discussed in the RECFA meeting in London in May 2007.

The Coordination Group has members representing the major detector systems currently being planned - together this group has a very good overview of European Detector R&D. It was also decided to create a National Contact Group to help to make sure the various major national activities were involved at the correct level, and that there is coordination at a national level such that number of EU contract partners can be kept at a reasonable level.

After a further discussion in the REFCA meeting in Manchester the coordinaton group was established and meet for the first time September 20. During the month of August all RECFA representatives were asked to suggest members of the National Contact Group.

The organisation has as main goals:

  • To plan and coordinate FP7 EU applications for the European Particle Physics Community, involving the European community as a whole.

  • →Specifically for the upcoming Integrated Activity call in November; aim for one good proposal addressing the most central European infrastructures for Detector R&D

 

DevDet

DevDet stands for : "Development of Detectors"

It is the first project coordinated by the RECFA Coordination Group for Detector R&D in FP7 programs and responds to the FP7-

INFRASTRUCTURES-2008-1 call from the European Commission.

DevDet addresses infrastructures required for the development of detectors for future particle physics experiments. In line with the European strategy for particle physics, http://council-strategygroup.web.cern.ch/council-strategygroup/Strategy_Statement.pdf

DevDet targets User communities preparing experiments at a number of key potential future accelerators: SLHC (luminosity-upgraded LHC), future Linear Colliders (ILC and CLIC), future accelerator-driven neutrino facilities or future B-physics facilities (e.g. Super-B).

The infrastructures covered by the DevDet project are key facilities required for an efficient development of the future experiments, such

as: test beam infrastructures (at CERN and DESY), specialised equipment irradiation facilities (in severl European countries), common software tools, common microelectronics tools and engineering coordination offices.

The DevDet proposal is currently under preparation. Submission deadline is 29/2/2008.
