Richard Wade PSD 2007 PPARC Science Challenges. Position sensitive detectors and PPARC Technology Challenges. Big Questions, Big Projects. Developing technology, working with industry.

PPARC Science Challenges How did the Universe begin and how (and when) will it end? How do stars, planets and galaxies form? Are we alone in the Universe or is there life elsewhere? What is the Universe made of and what holds it together? Where does mass come from? How does the Sun work and how does it affect the Earth? Why does there seem to be much more matter in the Universe than anti-matter?

Position Sensitive Detectors and PPARC Detector Systems key to PPARC Science Virtually every conceivable form of detector employed in PPARC science area –CCDs –Silicon strip –Wire chambers –Hybrid photomultipliers –TES

Position Sensitive Detectors and PPARC Gamma rays to radio waves Particles (charged particles, neutrinos, WIMPS, …….) Gravitational Waves

Enabling Technology Development and Knowledge Transfer. Technology Development Working with industry Knowledge transfer and exploitation

Technology Development Project based technology road-mapping. Single fund for Project R&D. Project funded studentships. Four year studentships available.

Working With Industry Opening up funding to industry. Trial scheme being run by PPARC –initially for AURORA but then for Project R&D.

Knowledge Transfer and Exploitation News PIPSS –Focus on knowledge transfer Extended brokerage scheme

Science and Innovation Investment Framework World class research at the UKs strongest centres of excellence. Greater responsiveness to the needs of the economy (knowledge transfer) Increased business investment in R&D and increased business engagement in drawing on the UK science base for ideas and talent. A strong supply of scientists, engineers and technologists. Sustainable and financially robust universities.

Science and Innovation Investment Framework PPARC is well placed to deliver the governments goals and is in a fantastic position to inspire the next generation of scientist and engineers.

“There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science”. Louis Pasteur Science and Innovation Investment Framework
