Picture

The purpose of the workshop was to review the electronics for LHC experiments and to identify and encourage common efforts for the development of electronics within and between the different LHC experiments and to promote collaboration in the engineering and physics communities involved in the LHC activities.

The program of the workshop included both invited plenary talks and parallel working groups for contributed papers. The focus of the workshop was research and recent developments concerning the design, prototyping, testing and integration of electronics in the following domains:

  • Electronics for Trackers
  • Electronics for Calorimeters
  • Electronics for Muon Detectors
  • Optical Links
  • Power Systems, Cooling and Detector Cabling
  • Testing and Quality Assurance
  • Trigger Electronics
  • Detector Control Systems
  • Data Acquisition

The welcome address was given by Geoff Hall, chairman of the programme committee, and by Leo Wiggers, chairman of the local organising committee.
