MC PAD

Abstract
MC-PAD is a multi-site Initial Training Network on particle detectors. 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.
