DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Imad Laktineh (University of Lyon)\n\nAbstract:The P
 ICosecond subMICron (PICMIC) is a new detection concept that intends to s
 imultaneously exploit the remarkable intrinsic spatial and time precision
  of the MicroChannel Plate (MCP) detectors.  PICMIC is based itself on
  two new concepts. The first is similar in principle to the one used in 
 the GPS and allows\, with a limited number of electronic channels\, to ob
 tain a precise measurement of the arrival time of particles crossing the 
 MCP.   The second\, conceived to measure the position of these particle
 s\, uses tiny pixels that are interconnected in an original way. The new 
 scheme leads to an excellent granularity without suffering from the usua
 l ambiguity encountered in the strip-based readout systems. The new syste
 m is operated with a smaller number of electronic channels with respect 
 to a pixel-based readout one.Both the spatial and the time measurement sy
 stems were individually tested and validated before to be assembled in a 
 first prototype. The prototype equipped with an alpha source allowed the
  validation of the whole concept. We present in this seminar the PICMIC c
 oncept\, the realisation of the measurement systems as well as the first 
 results obtained with the prototype. We discuss also the development of 
 a new generation of MCP we call NanoChannel Plate (NCP) which intends to 
 improve the time and spatial resolution by at least one order of magnitud
 e. Such a new device could be fully exploited thanks to the PICMIC conce
 pt.Biography:Imad Laktineh is a distinguished professor at the University 
 of Lyon. After a PhD in theoretical physics\, he joined the LEP experimen
 ts (DELPHI and L3) working on b-quark physics and SUSY searches respecti
 vely. After LEP\, he joined OPERA collaboration to study neutrino oscilla
 tions. Since 2006\, his main activities are on detector R&D for the expe
 riments of future high-energy colliders (HL-LHC\, ILC\, CEPC and FCCee). 
 He developed the concept of the Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter SDHCAL 
 and led the construction of the first technological prototype of the CAL
 ICE 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 reado
 ut concept. He developed a new technique for muon tomography using (M)RP
 C detectors. He recently invented the PICMIC concept that intends to full
 y exploit both the excellent spatial and time resolutions of the MCP devi
 ces. In parallel\, he is developing similar devices with much better per
 formances named NCP for Nano Channel Plates. Pr. Laktineh is very active i
 n the new DRD collaborations with leading roles in DRD1 (gaseous detecto
 rs)\, DRD4 (photo-detection) and DRD6 (calorimetry). He served as a scien
 tific adviser of the CNRS-IN2P3 for innovative detectors and quantum tec
 hnologies. He was named a CNRS Ambassador for Innovation in 2025\, a visi
 ting professor at Tsinghua University\, a 200-talent at Shandong Universi
 ty and a CAS distinguished scientist.Online Meeting Room:https://meeting.
