Description
High Energy Physics (HEP) IC Design Traineeship Program
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Menlo Park, California
June 23 - 27, 2025
Aimed at graduate IC design students but open to others at a similar level. This summer week will cover High Energy Physics use cases and unique operating conditions, such as high radiation or deep cryogenic temperature.ย
Location:
the whole week will beย in person @ SLAC National accelerator laboratory.
- Friday: Havasu Room in Building 053 (3rd floor)
- Monday / Tuesday: Sycamore Room in Building 40
- Wednesday / Thursday: Sonoma Room Building 41
See the page "Access and location"ย for important infos about site access (required!)
Program:
A mix of lectures and practical design exercises. Students will attend lectures on HEP topics in the morning and will work together in teams in the afternoons on solving design exercises. The teams will present the results on the last day of the workshop.
Lectures over the past years have included:
Analog front end design, ADCs, fast timing circuits, digital flow, cryogenic readout circuits, introduction to particle physics, experimental collider physics, cryogenic detectors, and accelerator physics.
Requirements:
To follow the hands-on par,t familiarity with the following is required:
โBasic device physics and models (MOS square-law, pn junctions)
โFrequency response, dominant pole approximation, ZVTC
โBiasing, small-signal models
โCommon source, common gate, and common drain stages
โPort impedance calculations
โFeedback, stability, feedback circuit analysis
Cost:
- there is no registration fee;
- you will have to arrange travel and housing yourself.
