Particle Physics at PSI, Switzerland
Dr. Stefan Ritt
Head, Muon Physics Group, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland
Abstrakt: PSI, the largest national lab in Switzerland, employs over 2000 staff members and conducts research in diverse fields, such as energy production and storage. It also operates four accelerators that enable cancer treatment, structural molecular analysis, and fundamental solid state and particle physics research. The lab's high-intensity proton accelerator generates over 1.4 MW of beam power and produces the world's most intense DC muon beams. These beams are used, among other things, to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
This seminar provides an overview of PSI's activities, with a particular focus on the charged lepton flavor violating decays of the muon. The presentation delves into the MEG and Mu3e experiments, which showcase cutting-edge technical developments like ultra-thin monolithic pixel detectors and fast waveform digitizing with thousands of channels for sub-100 ps time measurements. The seminar also includes a discussion of results from ongoing experiments and provides insight into future developments.
Seminář se koná v úterý 2. května ve 14:00
v zasedací místnosti ÚTEF ČVUT, Praha 1, Husova 240/5.
