1. 16 December 2008NIKHEF Annual Meeting1 Detector R&D Jan Timmermans “Small is beautiful” –Micropixels Microelectronics –Micro Pattern Gas Detectors »…….. But the goal is “large(r)” detector surfaces

2. 16 December 2008NIKHEF Annual Meeting2 Started fall 2003: 1) pixelised readout gaseous detectors 2) silicon (pixel) vertex detectors 3) pixelised X-ray imaging detectors Current: 1) - as above for e.g. TPC-like detector at ILC - thin-gap (~1 mm) GOSSIP for Atlas upgrades (collab. RD50, LCTPC, RD51; project EUDET) 3) large scale X-ray detectors + multi-Gbit/s readout (collab. Medipix 2/3; projects Relaxd, Hidralon) new 4) RasCLIC: alignment over large distances; byproduct earth/sea quake detection
