Gain competences relevant for your future career in experimental physics or industry
Semi-automatic mass production
Automatization is the key for reliable, high throughput production of high tech components. The quality of the product still depends on the accurate process defined and developed by scientists.
Experience how to set up a semi-automatic production line, and how to define and validate a multi-parameter process with the examples of:
the robotic arm aided CMS pixel phase II module production
the CNC based tiling of MADMAX discs
Quality assurance and Quality control
An increasing important aspect in industrial and scientific production of high tech is the process of QA/QC. Learn its definition, planning, implementation, and monitoring with the example of the CMS pixel phase II module production.
Characterization of photodetectors for biomedical physics, autonomous driving (LIDAR), HEP detectors
Detecting photons in the visible spectrum with high quantum efficiency is the key to numerous scientific and societal applications. Learn the fundamental principle of operation of silicon passed photo-detectors, the experimental techniques for their characterization and possible applications in our research field and beyond.
Our project are embedded in the research of the German High-Energy and Nuclear-Hadron physics detector development consortium (High-D), and in direct collaboration with industry partners producing SiPMs.
