About us
CERN EP Department has defined a strategic R&D programme to address the primary technological challenges of future experiments. Started up in January 2020, the programme is structured in 11 work packages focusing on tracking, calorimetry and particle ID, as well as on equally demanding challenges in the domains of electronics, mechanics, cooling, magnets and software.
A large part of the R&D work is carried out jointly with external groups from universities and research labs, and in close cooperation with industrial partners. We profit from cooperation with dynamic and efficient structures like the RD50 and RD51 collaborations, and networking on the European level (e.g. AIDA, Cremlin+).
This R&D programme is in the tradition of previous similar initiatives - the DRDC projects in the 1990s and the White Paper R&D programme (2008-2011). The scientific programme is largely aligned with the ECFA Roadmap defined in 2021.
