Advanced European Infrastructures for Detectors at Accelerators (AIDA-2020)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

Particle physics is at the forefront of the ERA, attracting a global community of more than 10,000 scientists. With the upgrade of the LHC and the preparation of new experiments, the community will have to overcome unprecedented challenges in order to answer fundamental questions concerning the Higgs boson, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model. Major developments in detector technology ...

Helix Nebula – The Science Cloud (HNSciCloud)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

Over the coming 10-15 years the generation of vast amounts of data created by scientific research domains will create enormous challenges for capturing, managing and processing of this data. Tests have been made but today commercial cloud services do not play a significant role in the production computing environments for the publicly funded research sector in Europe. Stimulated by the Pre-Commer ...

Higgs precision era at the LHC (HiggsEFT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

We are at a very special point in space and time. The Large Hadron Collider has experienced a first very successful physics run that culminated with the discovery of the long sought-after Higgs boson. We have begun probing the substructure of nature at unprecedented 10^(-17) cm distances, corresponding to the energy scales of the few TeV. The goal of this project is to develop a formalism t ...

A SiPM upgrade for VHE Astronomy and beyond (Light-Trap)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy in the Very High Energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) regime has fast become one of the most interesting and productive sub-fields of astrophysics today. Utilizing the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) to reconstruct the energy and direction of incoming gamma-ray photons from the universe, several source-classes have been uncovered by previous and current generatio ...

Voxel Imaging PET Pathfinder (VIP)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) scanners play an important role in cancer diagnosis and molecular imaging. Their accuracy overtakes that of the conventional diagnostics systems. They are used, alone or in combination with other imaging systems, such as CT or MRI. The current best detectors for PET are based on LSO crystals that are usually made of 4mm x 4mm x 10mm coupled to PMT, APD, or simila ...

European Grid Initiative: Integrated Sustainable Pan-European Infrastructure for Researchers in Europe (EGI-InSPIRE)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Scientific research is no longer conducted within national boundaries and is becoming increasing dependent on the large-scale analysis of data, generated from instruments or computer simulations housed in trans-national facilities, by using e Infrastructure (distributed computing and storage resources linked by high-performance networks).The 48 month EGI-InSPIRE project will continue the transitio ...

The Preparatory Phase for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA-PP) (CTA-PP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"The Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA will be the first open facility for gamma-ray astronomy in thevery-high-energy domain, with a performance which is dramatically improved over existing instruments in terms of sensitivity, energy coverage, survey capability and flexibility. CTA will probe non-thermal phenomena in the Universe – known to have comparable energy content to other forms of energy ...

Predictions of theories beyond the Standard Model for TeV scale new physics (TeV Expectations)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,

The efforts to build an extension of the Standard Model of particle physics have been driven in the last few decades by two main agents: the theoretical need for an ultraviolet completion of the model, motivated in particular by the hierarchy between the electroweak and the Planck scale; the phenomenological evidence of new physics phenomena, from neutrino masses to the baryon asymmetry, from the ...

Characterization of extragalactic background light with the MAGIC telescope system (MAGICandEBL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

The proposed project deals with one of the major open problems of Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology. The star and galaxy formation history has built up a diffuse extragalactic radiation field in the ultraviolet to infrared wavelength regime. Direct measurements of this extragalactic background light (EBL) are difficult. The observation of distant sources of GeV-TeV photons using Imaging Air Cher ...

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE III (EGEE-III)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2010,

A globally distributed computing Grid now plays an essential role for large-scale, data intensive science in many fields of research. The concept has been proven viable through the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE project (EGEE and EGEE-II, 2004-2008) and its related projects. EGEE-II is consolidating the operations and middleware of this Grid for use by a wide range of scientific communities, such as ...
