EU-Projects

The Detector Laboratory of GSI is routinely involved in R&D Projects as well as Initial Training Networks for jung researchers, which are supported by the European Community (EC) for a certain time (2 to 5 years). In the 6th Frame Programme (FP6) which runs out by the end of 2008, the DL was involved in the Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) HadronPhysics. During that period, a PhD thesis, investigating the properties of single-crystal CVD diamond and its potential for Hadron Physics detector applications has been successfully worked out in the framework of the NoRHDia Collaboration, and has been accepted by the Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

In FP7, we are involved with several subprojects in two new activities:

  The Marie Curie Initial Training Network MC-PAD (MC for PArticle Detectors), starting November 2008, and the
  Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) HadronPhysics2 starting January 2009, respectively.

The topics addressed in MC-PAD are
