16 The INSTITUTE of NUCLEAR PHYSICS DEMOKRITOS (INPD) The pre-shower project is a joint effort : Armenia (Yerevan P.I.) Belarus (U. of Minsk) CERN Greece (NCSR Demokritos, U. of Ioannina) India (BARC, U. od Delhi Russia (JINR Dubna) Taiwan (TU, NCU) Demokritos is committed to the construction of 500 micromodules : 516 silicon sensors are available and already tested : 50 from the Institute of Microelectronics 40 from Russia (ELMA) 426 from Hammamatsu Hybrids and Tiles in the way of fabrication VLSI electronics finalized 16

17 The UNIVERSITY of IOANNINA (UI) EXPERIENCE & INTERESTS High Energy Physics, Nuclear and Elementary particle detectors, medical imaging detectors VHDL SOC (System on Chip Design) o Algorithm development for HEP data manipulation Firmware implementation for high data rate interfaces Computer software (Assembly, Fortran, C, C++, Visual C, Visa, Java, html, Matlab): DAQ and control software, computer simulations, data analysis 17

18 Greece, University of Athens Team Leader: Martha SPYROPOULOU-STASSINAKI Participants: Panagiotis CHRISTAKOGLOU Paraskevi GANOTI Angelos PETRIDIS Filimon ROUKOUTAKIS Maria VASSILIOU The Greek ALICE Project AliRoot the ALICE Off-line framework for simulation, reconstruction and analysis. It uses the ROOT system as a foundation on which the framework and all applications are built. Large existing libraries, i.e. GEANT3.21, Jetset and some remaining legacy code, is framework is based on the Object Oriented programming paradigm, and it is written in C++. 18

24 Computing Purpose : 1. national strategy for GRID technologies development 2. connected to EGEE, EGO projects 3. for LHC-HEP analysis, the LCG-MoU on preparation 4. Greece the center for the South East Europe Federation for GRID/EGEE GRNET Organisation (for networking the universities and academia) GRID nodes : Crete, Patras, Athens (IASA), Athens (Demokritos), Thessaloniki In total : ~ 800 CPU S, ~ 100 TB HD storage & tapes (limited threshold for TIER-2) BUT GRNET is NOT only for HEP!! Large amount of infrastructure is still needed for TIER-2!! 24

25 Technology Transfer / CERN orders Industrial Liaison Office : established on 1994 ~ Every 2 years meeting at Greece with CERN officers, greek scientists and industry Database of industry : ~ 100 firms Return Index : -Supplies - Services - Visiting teams commitments Greek participation to the LHC integration , 9 Technicians (TEI), 2 Physicists (1 PhD), 1 Electrical Engineer, join the CERN group!! (NTU-A coordination) 25

26 NEWS / FUTURE PLAN I 1. New frame-law for research in Greece (reorganisation of structure, new institutions, etc.) 2. National Institution for research coordination on Nuclear Physics Particle Physics Astroparticle Physics Astro-Physics Cosmology Non-Accelerator Physics 3. New long-term budget planning for CERN experiments 26

27 NEWS / FUTURE PLAN II BEST participation on the LHC + other experiments Extension to the GRID projects (EGO, etc) Start-up participation to the advanced accelerator technology (CLIC, ILC, Medical applications, etc.) (MoU in preparation) Start-up participation to industrialization of technological patents (CERN-Technology Transfer) (MoU in preparation) 27

28 EPILOGUE There are very exciting times ahead of us during the LHC operation!! We hope that many YOUNG PHYSICISTS will join us in the discovery enterprise 28
