Abstract:
In the last decade a huge technological effort has been done to develop new detectors and new electronics for accelerator-based experiments, mainly (but not only) at LHC.
In this talk I will review some possible applications of these technologies for future space experiments, to have the possibility of a significant step forward in their expected physics performances.
L'evento è organizzato in collaborazione con la Sezione di Catania dell'INFN.
