INAIL mentioned MICADO as good practice of a digitization process
The Istituto Nazionale per l’Assicurazione contro gli Infortuni sul Lavoro or INAIL (‘National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work’) is the Italian authority appointed to monitor and authorize the activities concerning ionizing radiation sources. Recently INAIL wants to update the procedures for handling industrial high activity sources. In particular, the aim of this update […]
CAEN Educational is flying up Update 26/01/2020
In Château-d’Oex on January 25th, Hans Peter Beck (University of Bern and Fribourg, and CERN) will repeat with some of his students the balloon flight of Albert Gockel from 1909 (with modern equipment using CAEN Cosmic Hunter), and measure cosmic rays. Students from Uni Fribourg are estimating and then measuring the flux of cosmic muons […]

NA62 spots two potential instances of rare particle decay
On September 23rd 2019, the NA62 experiment at CERN announced the measurement of other two K+ → π+ ν ν decays after the first one announced back in 2018 (NA62 sees hints of rare kaon decay). These measurements are useful to shine light on dark matter, as hints of new physics beyond standard model can hide in rare decays as […]
CAEN Educational for young researchers @ European Space Agency
The EIROforum School on Instrumentation (ESI) is a biennial event, jointly organized by the Instrumentation Working Group of the EIROforum organizations. The objective of ESI is to teach the basic principles of instrumentation to young researchers (PhD students, postdocs) and engineers from the EIRO organizations, companies, and institutes from Europe and beyond.The sixth school (ESI 2019) took place from […]
MICADO, European Project for The Monitoring of Radioactive Waste, Kicks Off
Standardize the management of radioactive waste, starting from their non-destructive characterization to transport, storage and real-time monitoring. This is the objective of the MICADO Project (Measurement and Instrumentation for Cleaning and Decommissioning Operations), started on June 3, thanks to Euratom funding, and to the synergy between 8 European partners with solid experience in the field of radioactive waste, […]
Rarest decay process ever measured – XENON1T experiment
XENON1T experiment observed the rarest decay process ever measured; this detector that was designed to probe dark matter, the ‘missing’ mass in the Universe, has seen an elusive nuclear decay called two-neutrino double electron capture — with implications for nuclear and particle physics. Read the full article on nature.com What is XENON1T Experiment XENON experiment is […]
There is a little bit of CAEN, Italy in the picture of the century
There is a little bit of CAEN, Italy in the picture of the century. CAEN in fact designed and supplied 83 customized power supplies for the ALMA telescope (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array). ALMA is a single instrument, composed initially of 66 high-precision antennas, in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, 5000 metres above sea level. The array has been […]
CAEN presents PRIMIS and NEOLITE projects at ToscanaTech2018
CAEN has presented the results of the completed NEOLITE project and the ongoing PRIMIS project at the ToscanaTech2018 event, organized by Regione Toscana in Florence last 19/20 November. The event was focused on Industry4.0 and more in general on innovation in Tuscany, CAEN since it foundation has always been on the forefront of innovative R&D thanks to collaborations with […]
CAEN still paves the way forward at CERN
CAEN EASY BRIC1 passed the technical review imposed by the ATLAS collaboration to participate at the tender to power the New Small Wheel detector. CAEN proudly announces that its new EASY BRIC1 qualified, after the technical review by the ATLAS collaboration, to participate at the tender for the New Small Wheel detector power supplies in hostile area.
