MC-PAD
is a
FP7 multi-site Initial
Training Network on particle
detectors in
physics experiments. It comprises nine
academic participants, three
industrial partners and two
associated academic
partners. The MC-PAD network provides
excellent training opportunities to young
researchers in the field of radiation detectors for
the next generation of particle physics experiments
and other applications. We are targeting mainly
physicists (and electronics) engineers The academic network participants are major European High Energy Physics research labs or large research institutes with excellent international reputation and a proven long standing record in the design and fabrication of state-of-the-art particle detectors. The industrial partners are European small to medium size high tech companies which have a leading role in their field. The network covers a unique set of competencies, expertise, infrastructures and training possibilities. The network has recruited young researchers who are keen to participate in the development and application of advanced particle detectors. The young researchers are based for most of their time at one of the participating institutes, supervised by internationally recognized experts and have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Hands-on project training is supplemented with formal training courses in relevant and related fields, and a wide variety of complementary training courses, colloquia and seminars. In order to ensure exposure to complementary research and industry environments mobility of researchers in the form of detachment to one or more of the other network participants and associated partners is planned and expected for up to 30% of the duration of each fellowship.
