• LAL and IRFU have designed fast analog memories for 25 years (HAMAC for ATLAS, PIPELINE, MATACQ, SAM, SAMLONG).

• Their use for ps timing measurement started in 2008 (WaveCatcher)

• 2009: new patented concept, the Waveform Time To Digital Converter (WTDC), mix of a classical TDC and an ultra-fast analog memory

• 2013: SAMPIC 16-channel WTDC ASIC (180 nm technology ) • directly works on analog signals, samples (up to 8,5 GS/s), digitizes the waveform and

measures its arrival time with a resolution of a few ps rms.

• Boards, modules and acquisition software based on SAMPIC have been

developed at LAL • 16 to 64-channel systems, soon 256 channels • Used for particle physics fast detectors (PMT, APD, SiPM, MCP-PMT, LGAD,

diamonds, …) and for R&D on TOF-PET scanners.

• Collaborations ongoing with many French and international labs (IN2P3, IRFU, CERN, INFN, Kansas Univ., Geneva Univ., Munster Univ., …)

• SAMPIC selected as the baseline solution for CMS-TOTEM, SHiP timing and muon detectors, T2K upgrade TOF detector, LiquidO R&D, …

• R&D effort will be pursued, including participation in European calls for TOF-PET. • High integration level and implementation of large scale systems will be studied. • A slower version of SAMPIC dedicated to nuclear physics is under study. • Valorisation with industry will start in the next months (including licensing).

• In progress contribution to ATLAS and Belle II tracking, based on ACTS framework (1 core developer in the laboratory)

• Experiment frameworks: involved in adding an efficient support for heterogeneous resources, in particular GPUs

• New approaches for the processing large amount of data: use of big data techniques, machine-learning (connected to data science activities, see D. Rousseau’s talk)

• Big data R&D motivated by the LSST use case but may benefit others

Computing Operations

• A lot of common challenges in our various communities but often different technologies/approaches, partly because of insufficient links between them

• New lab can be place to foster these links around more common solutions around larger infrastructures for the benefit of everybody

• A strong collaboration already in place around computing: Virtual Data • Use the trust relationships built in the last 10 years for building a more integrated team

• Build upon the existing shared cloud and data infrastructure for future scientific computing services

• Data acquisition from local platforms (e.g. ALTO)

• New analysis tools (notebooks, big data services, machine learning…)

• Provisioning of experiment/project-specific resources, including grid for LHC experiments

• Foster the collaboration with the external users interested in our advanced scientific services

SWOT analysis

15/01/2019 HCERES evaluation – Technical departments 35

• Size of the new lab technical department may lead to problems and some people choosing to leave

• Single-person expertises • Lack of people with HDR in the technical groups leading

to difficulty to get PhD students • Insufficient publication of technical work by engineers in

peer-reviewed journal of their fields • Retirement of senior people during the next 5 years in

some areas

• Large technical services with recognized experts in the various technical fields allowing to play a major role in big projects

• A balanced mix of both short and long term projects, based on local, national or international collaborations

• High level experience in concurrent project management • Strong R&D activities to prepare the future experiment

contributions • Some developments for lab projects are also assets for

valorization • Privileged access to local platforms for test beams

• Funding fragmentation with more and more small projects in parallel

• Increased time spent by senior people to apply for projects funding and to do projects reporting

• Potential difficult relationship with other IN2P3 labs due to the perceived risk of domination of FLUO

• Low salaries compared to private sector making difficult to recruit new people, given the living costs in Paris region

• New merged lab creating a unique global technical force

and gathering together single-person expertise • Several upcoming big projects motivating the existence

and increase of this large technical force • Existence of smaller scale projects that motivate the R&D

work between projects with a long cycle • New attractive projects facilitating recruitments
