Euromedim proposal (Applying HEP methods in
medical imaging) 1st proposal (18 M),
submitted to Bruxelles in March 03. Integrated
Project. Passed thresholds, but was not funded
due to budget constraints. 2nd proposal (8
M), submitted in Nov 03. Reduced and better
focused work program. Network of Excellence.
Expect some news within next weeks. Surprising
for many of us In the case of an Euromedim
approval, CERN (more precisely the old CERN
management) has committed itself to a long term
support and investment in the field of medical
imaging.

ATLAS Absolute Luminosity Experiment a possible
project for TA1-SD in 2004 ?

• up to now
• simulations
• participation in writing LoI
• very first photodetector tests

Development of a ceramic 5-in HPD (together with
industry)
First 10-in. tube (world largest HPD)

A possible project for 2004 (proposed by us and
currently under discussion) A common project
(all LHC experiments) on radiation monitoring in
the LHC detectors. Goal Develop and construct
standardized online dosimeters for the monitoring
of instantaneous and integrated dose levels.
Proposed technology Combine RadFET, OSL and
Si-diodes with their associated rad hard readout
circuits on a small PCB. Strong interest by
ATLAS and ALICE, interest by LHCb, hessiatation
by CMS. ST/LEA would support the project. Machine
is also interested.
