Abstract:
A new generation of detectors is emerging in the field of subatomic physics. The newdetectors are 4D ones, aiming at adding precise time information to the existing spatialperformances the detectors already have. Tracking, calorimetry and photo-detection areamong the ones where the timing is being the most developed. Several societal applicationsike muon tomography of medical applications are also benefiting from the new activities. Inthis seminar we will go through the different developments that are being followed in thedifferent fields of detection emphasising the improvement this new feature will bring to thedetection fields and the expected evolution in the near and far future.
About the speaker:Imad Laktineh is a distinguished professor at the University of Lyon. After a PhD in theoreticalphysics, he joined the LEP experiments (DELPHI and L3) working on b-quark physics andSUSY searches respectively. After LEP, he joined OPERA collaboration to study neutrinooscillations. Since 2006, his main activities are on detector R&D for the experiments of futurehigh-energy colliders (HL-LHC, ILC, CEPC and FCCee). He developed the concept of theSemi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter SDHCAL and led the construction of the first technologicalprototype of the CALICE collaboration using this concept. He is currently working on T-SDHCAL with timing information to improve on the Particle Flow Algorithms (PFA) techniques.He initiated the CMS-iRPC project proposing a new RPC readout concept. He developed anew technique for muon tomography using (M)RPC detectors. He recently invented thePICMIC concept that intends to fully exploit both the excellent spatial and time resolutions ofthe MCP devices. In parallel, he is developing similar devices with much better performancesnamed NCP for Nano Channel Plates. Pr. Laktineh is very active in the new DRDcollaborations with leading roles in DRD1 (gaseous detectors), DRD4 (photo-detection) andDRD6 (calorimetry). He served as a scientific adviser of the CNRS-IN2P3 for innovativedetectors and quantum technologies. He was named a CNRS Ambassador for Innovation in2025, a visiting professor at Tsinghua University, a 200-talent at Shandong University and aCAS distinguished scientist
