  1. WP4: Brainstorming meetingGeneva – 19th March 2009Outcome of the meetingIncluding follow-up sessions Session participants

  2. Purpose of WP4 • GEN A) Establish a genuine partnership / collaboration amongst TT Network nodes • 1: Bridging the gap between TT Network and industry • Be an attractive partner for industry • Enlarging the Kt & TT Offer • Making offer more visible • 2: KT & TT/IP practices and tools • Exchange experience and practices • Improve capabilities amongst TT Network members • GEN B) Develop the image of the HEP community as a source of knowledge TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  3. Scope • In (More than the implementation of WP1, WP2 & WP3): • Fine tuning strategy and plan definition • Producing prototyping & implementing models, tools and practices • Out (Normal activity of the TT Network): • Communication of internal projects • Active recruitment of new TT Network members TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  4. Goals • Intermediate goal: • Strategic plan for the rest of the project taking into account funding issues and setting priorities • Final goals: • 1: Adoption of the IP charter (principles) • 2: Use of a common KT & TT/IP practices and tools (as far as possible) • 3: Use of a concerted communication strategy for the TT Network as a whole: • Including policy and tools • 4: Generate a HEP brand including • Filing of a trade mark, Protocol (value and meaning associated to the trade mark), Corporate identity • 5: Network is supported by community building tools including: • Web-site, Mobility and training programme • 6: Develop collaborative push and pull model • 7: Develop collaborative scouting model • 8: Network support for spin-offs/ start-ups Funding Priority TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009 Low Medium High

  5. Financial constraints • Activities that can be supported by the TT Network according to financial constraints: • Low financing • 1: Adoption of the IP charter • 6: Development of a collaborative push and pull model • 7: Development of a collaborative scouting model • 5: Network is supported by community building tools (rather modest financing in the validation phase of the project) • Medium financing, in addition to the above • 3: Use of a concerted communication strategy for the TT Network • 4: Generation of a HEP brand • Implementation proposal of the above on a pilot case seems financially achievable • Goals excluded: • 2: Usage of a common KT & TT/IP practices and tools • 8: Network support for spin-offs/start-up • Which could be addressed at a later stage when network financing is consolidated. TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  6. Implementation proposal • It is proposed to address all final goals (except: 2 & 8) on a practical case that will be used as a pilot to develop and validate tools and methods: • HEP specific technology • Important and visible case with recognized TT potential • Very good illustration of HEP collaborative spirit • Complex enough to address final goals • General enough to trigger interest amongst TT Network members to validate/consolidate the results on other cases • Mobility and training (Part of point 5) deserves a dedicated brainstorming session to: • Understand TT Network nodes needs • Establish a programme of work taking into consideration financial constraints TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  7. MPGD-Pilot • First pilot case: Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors • Large collaborative R&D efforts from HEP community (RD-51, about 50 institutions involved, not only HEP institutes, important interest from industry); • Good case to define a collaborative scouting model • Evidence for patent pooling (GEM, micromegas, front-end readout, software, etc.) • Very good case for the development of a collaborative push and pull model • First data to test community building tools; specify value and meaning of a HEP brand • Test of concerted communication strategy • Important and very visible case currently addressed by members of the TT Network individually • TT Network member institutes participating in RD-51 • CEA, CERN, CNRS, DESY, INFN • NTU TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  8. Pilot (Outline of milestone plan, estimated duration 1 year) • Main milestones • The key issues (Background IP, access issues, etc.) and problems for MPGD tech transfer are identified • The reflection on branding is finished and documented • Acronym, logo, communication strategy • The reflection on (collaborative) scouting is finished and documented • MPGD patent pooling opportunities and benefit have been assessed • The external concerted communication strategy is defined and agreed • Acronym, logo, communication strategy, set of www templates for Technology, pooling, products and services • The Web database (tool for push) is populated with MPGD data (including pooling) • The collaborative pull mechanisms are in place • Network concerted response to industrial needs • TTN communication is in place (push, concerted and brand-based) • The IP charter has been validated for RD 51 collaboration • Conclusions from pilot and recommendations for full scale implementation available TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  9. Other Pilot candidates? • Although operating with limited resources and currently with no external financing, the TT Network should address all the important TT issues of the HEP community and not restrict its activities to one case. • Requirement for other pilot cases to complement first pilot: • HEP Technology is very pertinent for future R&D projects • Important R&D needs from HEP • Important (potential) impact of technology to industry (At the supplier level, integration in products) • Commitment from: • Technical experts • TT Nodes • Timely involvement of the TT Network • Foster collaboration among Institutions • Develop a concerted communication with industry to protect the interests of the HEP community and enhance attractiveness for industry • Contribute to the HEP branding TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  10. Possible pilot on silicon strip sensors? (D. Gregorio) • Background information (Dante Gregorio) • Status and needs from CMS and ATLAS experiments for SLHC upgrade - Several market surveys are foreseen for the upgrade of the ATLAS and CMS detectors, depending on the type of sensors and their location (Inner Detectors and Outer Detectors). Each of these require different technical characteristics, quantities and will address different company profiles; • - It is expected that, with the delay in the start-up of the LHC machine the market survey for pre-production, qualification and large-scale production of silicon strip sensors for ATLAS and CMS Inner Detectors will not be launched until 2010; • - Following a preparatory meeting with potential members of a consortium of silicon strip manufacturers, experts from ATLAS and CMS and some ILOs from CERN Member states, it was recommended that a network be set up allowing participating institutes of ATLAS and CMS and industry to discuss, identify and help define the future needs of the ATLAS and CMS silicon sensor community. - It is, at this stage, premature to set up a consortium of silicon strip sensor manufacturers.

  11. Possible pilot on silicon strip sensors? (cont.) • RD-50: Development of Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for Very High Luminosity Colliders • Spokepersons: M. Moll/CERN & C. Bruzzi/INFN • TT Network institutes involved in RD-50: • INFN • JSI/Slovenia • CERN • PSI TT Network Kick-off Meeting – Updated version Geneva, April 10, 2008

  12. Second pilot implementation strategy • Proposal to TT Network management board (June 09) • Seek interest and backing of key stakeholders • ATLAS and CMS experiments • RD-50 and other HEP institutes with strong expertise in silicon strip detectors • Communicate findings to TTN and opportunities for a pilot case TT Network Geneva, April 19, 2009

  13. Summary • An implementation programme based on Pilot cases will be submitted for approval at the next meeting of the TT Network collaboration board at the end of June. • First pilot: Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors • In a later stage, if supported by the key stakeholders: Si Strip Sensors • Second pilot: if committed people identified: SiPM • Progress report to be delivered to Council in September at its European session. • The TT has the opportunity to address three of the key technologies of the HEP community.
