Development of μRWELL detectors for the realisation of the preshower detector and of the muon detection system of the IDEA experiment

Tesi triennali e magistrali

Contact: Paolo Giacomelli

Two of the IDEA subdetectors, the preshower that precedes the dual readout calorimeter and the muon detection system, are foreseen to be realised with the same technology, the μRWELL. The μRWELL technology is a recent type of Micro Pattern Gas Detector, that combines some of the best characteristics of the GEM and MicroMegas detectors. The development of this technology consists in optimising the detector performances while at the same moment simplifying its construction process. The final aim is to realise a modular detector that can be mass produced by industry. The development of a custom-made ASIC based readout electronics represents another important aspect. The thesis activity will consist on the optimisation of the μRWELL technology, with lab tests and off-line simulations. The activity can foresee data taking periods in national labs like Frascati, and in international laboratories like CERN.

Physics studies with the IDEA detector at a future large circular leptonic collider

Tesi Triennali e Magistrali

Contact: Sylvie Braibant

Studies of physics channels of special interest at a future large circular leptonic collider. Studies of electroweak physics at the Z peak and at the threshold of production for W+W, as well as studies of the Higgs boson characteristics, in particular the possibility of measuring with extreme precision precision its couplings with other particles. These studies will be performed both with fast simulations, like DELPHES, of the detector, as well as more complete and detailed full simulations of the response of experimental apparatus. These studies are also especially useful in order to optimise the design and performances of the IDEA subdetectors with the aim of realising the best possible experimental apparatus for these physics studies.

Development of the readout electronics for a Dual Readout calorimeter

Tesi Triennali e Magistrali

Contact: Paolo Giacomelli

Development of the readout system of the fibres of the Dual Readout (DR) calorimeter of IDEA. The fibres are read by SiPM, that in turn have to readout and digitised. The development involves the study of possible ASIC that could read the SiPM and the evaluation boards needed to house the ASIC and to integrate it with rage rest of the readout system. The aim is to arrive to a system that can scale up to tens of millions of channels as is foreseen for the final DR calorimeter. The activity can foresee data taking periods in international laboratories like CERN.
