ISMA achievements on the pages of the CERNcourier journal!
Dear colleagues!
Articles praising the work of our institute have been published in the CERNcourier journal.
The first article explores the utilization of plastic scintillator detectors in high-energy physics experiments, emphasizing their cost-effectiveness and sub-ns particle tracking capabilities. The next-generation plastic-scintillator detectors aim to instrument large volumes with intricate 3D segmentation, presenting challenges in production and assembly. The 3DET collaboration at CERN, involving ETH Zurich and other institutions, achieves a significant milestone by developing a fully 3D-printed monolithic detector, showcasing advancements in technology for streamlined assembly without post-processing and machining.
Another big article highlights the resilience of the Institute for Scintillation Materials during the Russian invasion. Despite facing war-related challenges, ISMA became a refuge for staff and families, with around 50 members living in the basement and an additional 300 seeking shelter in the institute's bomb shelter. The institute swiftly made decisions to continue operations, repairing damaged facilities and relocating equipment within a few months. ISMA, a key contributor to international projects, managed to fulfill delivery commitments for 2022, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and determination in the face of adversity. The article emphasizes the importance of global support in sustaining scientific contributions and fostering collaboration during such challenging times.
