Large scale infrastructures and instruments are much more than "instruments" but are complex systems designed and developed to achieve specific scientific goals. This course aims at introducing tools and system engineering concepts used in the developpement of large scae instrument devlopped in the fields of particule physics before adressing complex system used in particle physics detection to review their perfomance metric from example. This course will adress those two aspect in the following :
System eingieeneiering
Requirement definition
Top level scientific requirements
- Flowdown and error budget
- Validation and Verification
- V-model
- Technical Risk Management
Particle acceleration:
- Operational & Design consideration
- Luminosity function
- Linear & Circular accelerators
- Limitation
Instrumentation:
- Global projects of large scale experiment
- Silicon Sensor
- Triggering system and online event selection
- Efficiency and contamination
- Radiation hardness
Data processing for particle physics
- Data collection and managment, reconstruction and analysis
- Multivariate analyses for particle identification
- Geant-4 simulation
The course will used example from existing project to illustrates those different aspect.
