Third Common ATLAS CMS Electronics
Workshop for LHC upgrades

ACES2011

CERN, 9-11 March 2011

This workshop will be dedicated to electronic issues for upgrades, focusing on subjects where common features or developments are likely. Developments for both early upgrades, upgrades for Phase I and upgrades for high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be included with special emphasis on Phase I. The following main areas will be covered:  

  • Experience from operations relevant to future upgrades, including heavy ion running
  • Front-end electronics development for Phase I
  • Electronics systems for triggering and DAQ at Phase I, including the use of modular electronics standards such as xTCA
  • Optical and electrical links
  • Power distribution and low power design techniques
  • Progress on upgrades for HL-LHC

Oral presentations will be made by invitation. A poster session will be organised during the first evening social event; abstracts will have to be submitted on the indico page. More details can be provided by contacting a member of the programme committee.
