MEMS made Electron Emission Membranes (MEMBrane)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

We propose a radically new and generic type of detector for photons, electrons and energetic charged particles: a stacked set of curved miniature dynodes in vacuum, created through MicroMechanical Electronic Systems (MEMS) fabrication techniques on top of a state-of-the-art CMOS pixel chip. This combination in itself is an extremely efficient electron detector. By capping the system with a traditi ...

SUPERSYMMETRY: a window to non-perturbative physics (SUSY)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Supersymmetry provides an invaluable tool for quantitatively exploring a large variety of non-perturbative phenomena arising in gauge theories and gravitation. This proposal intends to exploit this fact to make significant progress on three important topics in theoretical physics, namely, black holes, strongly-coupled gauge fields, and instantons and supersymmetry breaking. Besides supersymmetry, ...

The last piece of the puzzle: Off-shell hypermultiplets in string theory and complex geometry (HYPERGRAV)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The hypermultiplet sector in N=2 supersymmetric theories has long defied a complete understanding. However, recent workon the couplings of off-shell hypermultiplets in flat space has opened the door to a comprehensive treatment of their supergravity couplings. In pursuit of this goal, this proposal aims to construct a complete description of off-shell N=2 supergravity-matter actions, including bot ...

High Sensitivity Mammography with a new generation of silicon pixel sensors (MAMMOMEDIPIX)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

Mammography is an X-ray imaging technique widely used to screen women for breast cancer. The abilities to detect small micro-calcifications that are possible indicators of malignant processes and to distinguish between abnormal and normal soft tissue findings are crucial in mammography. Current systems employ high-resolution full field detectors to spot micro-calcifications and low energy X-rays t ...

Precise Predictions for Higgs and New Physics Signals with Jets at the Large Hadron Collider (PRECISIONJETS4LHC)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

"Many of the Higgs and new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider involve signals with jets of energetic hadrons. This proposal will improve the theoretical predictions for such processes, focusing on three different aspects:1) Since backgrounds depend on the number of jets, search analyses are often separated into bins with a particular number of jets to improve sensitivity. I propose to i ...
