Euromedim proposal (Applying HEP methods in medical imaging)
1st proposal (~18 M€), submitted to Bruxelles in March ’03. Integrated Project. Passed thresholds, but was not funded due to budget constraints.
2nd proposal (~8 M€), submitted in Nov ’03. Reduced and better focused work program. ‘Network of Excellence’. Expect some news within next weeks.
Surprising for many of us: In the case of an Euromedim approval, CERN (more precisely: the old CERN management) has committed itself to a long term support and investment in the field of medical imaging.

2. Developments, R&D
ATLAS Absolute Luminosity Experiment – a possible project for TA1-SD in 2004 ?
up to now:
simulations
participation in writing LoI
very first photodetector tests

3. Hybrid Photon Detectors
Developments, R&D
Hybrid Photon Detectors
First proto
HPF for
medical
imaging
Development of a ceramic
5-in HPD
(together with industry)
First 10-in. tube (world largest HPD)

4. A possible project for 2004: (proposed by us and currently under discussion)
A common project (all LHC experiments) on radiation monitoring in the LHC detectors.
Goal: Develop and construct standardized online dosimeters for the monitoring of instantaneous and integrated dose levels.
Proposed technology: Combine RadFET, OSL and Si-diodes with their associated rad hard readout circuits on a small PCB.
Strong interest by ATLAS and ALICE, interest by LHCb, hessiatation by CMS. ST/LEA would support the project. Machine is also interested.
