fast-cost.web.cern.ch/fast-cost/ The main objective of the FAST (Fast Advanced Scintillator Timing) Action (TD1401) is to establish a multidisciplinary network that brings together European experts from academia and industry to ultimately achieve scintillator-based detectors with timing precision of better than 100ps, in particular to enable significant breakthroughs in diagnostic medicine and high luminosity particle physics. It aims to:
- Bridge separate fields of science/disciplines to achieve breakthroughs via an interdisciplinary approach to Create an international European community of experts and people from different scientific backgrounds with wide expertise on fast timing detectors;
- Develop a common understanding/definition of "fast timing"
- Establish the ultimate achievable limits for fast timing for scintillators, photodetectors, electronics
- Facilitate the increase of competitiveness of European industry; provide input for future market applications, including cooperation with private enterprises
- Provide training opportunities for a new generation of scientific experts to strengthen their background in the field of fast timing detectors
COST is the longest-running European framework supporting trans-national cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across Europe. If you would like to join this action please.
