  10. RD51 Collaboration Notes https://espace.cern.ch/test-RD51/RD51%20internal%20notes/Forms/AllItems.aspx RD51 Notes: 9 in 2012 17 in 2011; 9 in 2010; 7 in 2009 We encourage everybody to submit results of your work (before journal publication) and internal documentation as RD51 internal notes

  11. RD51 Common Projects in 2011 and 2012 2011: 4 proposals approved under the call for Project Funding from the RD51 CF • Thin and high-pitch laser-etched mesh manufacturing and bulking (Saclay / CERN / Bari) • Development of innovative resistive GEM alpha detectors for earthquakes prediction • and homeland security (INFN Bari / UNAM, Mexico / INFN Padova / INFN Frascati) • MPGDs technology laboratory for training, development, fabrication, applications • and innovation (Universidad Antonio Nariño, Columbia / Brookhaven National Laboratory/ • Helsinki Institute of Physics / HEPTech / GSI Helmholtzzentrum) • A low mass microbulk with real XY strips structure (NCSR Demokritos/ Saclay/ Laboratorio • de Física Nuclear y Astropartículas, Universidadde Zaragoza / CERN ) •  See P. Colas, V. Peskov, R. Gutierrez and T. Geralis(plenarytalks & status of the • Projects) 2012: New Call for 2012 Common Project Proposals  extended deadline October 1, 2012  Selection/decision shortly after the RD51 Collaboration Meeting in October

  12. WG5 – Electronics & Scalable Readout Systems Legal documents required for the SRS distribution to the RD51 institute are prepared and has to be signed by CERN Directorate (Sergio Bertolucci)  every institute has to sign this document with RD51 before getting SRS from CERN WG6 – MPGD Technology & Industrial Partners THGEM Technology – ELTOS S.p.A. (Italy) PRINT ELECTRONICS (Israel) • GEM Technology • New Flex (Korea, Seoul) • Tech-ETCH (USA, Boston) • Techtra (Wroclaw, Poland) • Scienergy (Japan, Tokyo) • Keerthi Industries (India) • MicroMetalGmbN (Germany, Muellheim) • Micromegas Technology • TRIANGLE LABS (USA, Nevada) • ELTOS S.p.A. (Italy) • SOMACIS (Italy, Castelfidarco) • CIREA (France, CHOLET) • New developments / results: • Summary of Recent Contacts with NewFlex, ELTOS, Techtra, Cirea

  13. RD51 Future (beyond 2013): • The initial validity of the present RD51 MoUcovers the period • until the 31st of December 2013 • If RD51 would like to continue beyond 2013  need to ask for • extension LHCC and CERN Research Board (RB); • Preliminary discussions with LHCC  will not need to write new • RD51 proposal prepare executive summary (10-15 pages) to • describe future RD51 program • Received a lot of contributions from individual groups and RD51 • WG conveners – THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INPUTS ! • Document to be submitted to the LHCC by the November’2012  • extension discussed/(approved) by LHCC/RB in March/June 2013

  14. Future RD51 Collaboration Activites (beyond 2013): • Generic R&D (new structures, ideas, detector physics) – RD51 Common Projects (WG2) • Applications – new proposal: organization of series of specialized workshops • disseminating MPGD applications beyond fundamental physics – RD51, potential users and industry (e.g. dosimetry, neutron detection, medical physics, …) (WG3) • Development and Maintenance of Software & Simulation Tools; basic studies & • software support for the RD51 community (WG4) • Development and Maintenance of the SRS Electronics (WG5) • MPGD Industrialization - GEM, Microgemas, Thick GEM (WG6) • Maintenance of the RD51 Test-Beam Infrastructure (WG7) • MPGD Education and Training – new proposal: organization of schools for • students and newcomers & academic training outside CERN, covering specific • areas of the RD51/MPGD activities Circulate draft Executive Summary – middle of October 2012;
