| In this course advanced detector systems for the particle and nuclear physics are introduced to the students on examples of large-scale experiments. Selection of particular detector types for different subsystems of the experiment is followed by different readout architectures. Here the data-acquisition systems and concept of the “trigger” are discussed. This course treats as well post-processing of the acquired data and event filtering in on-line as well as off-line. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 2 | Advanced Instrumentation and Extreme Environments | WMME19007 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For certain applications, advanced instruments need to either operate in an extreme environment or provide such an environment. The following extreme environments will be considered: low temperature (cryogenic) and temperature cycling, high vacuum, high vibration levels, low contamination, high electromagnetic interference levels (and shielding), and high levels of ionizing radiation. Some words will be said on how cryogenic and high vacuum environments can be achieved. The main subject will be the instrument design considerations that are specific to these environments. Important aspects are the choice and behaviour of materials and technologies. The course contents will be illustrated by examples from the medical field, fusion energy, space instrumentation and nuclear/hadron/particle physics. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 4 | Applied Optics | WMME19009 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In this course students will learn how the underlying physical principles of waves and optics can be applied to the design and analysis of optical systems and engineering solutions. The course provides a comprehensive overview of key optical theory relevant to engineering optical systems. This includes topics like geometrical and physical optics, aberration theory, diffraction and propagation, interference and Fourier optics, all from an applied point of view. Furthermore a basic introduction to the techniques involved in designing optical systems will be given. During the course a wide range of practical applications, instruments and techniques will be presented as case studies (complemented by a few guest lectures/seminars from industry and research institutes) in areas like imaging, spectroscopy, metrology, alignment, illumination, and image processing. In this way students will learn the design rationale behind optical instruments, recognize the underpinning theory, and be able to explain its operation. Complementary to the lectures, a series of computer aided design and simulation tutorials will be given, utilizing state-of-the-art optical design software, where students will work on exercises covering the topics and theory covered during the lectures. In addition students will get a final project assignment, where they will work in small teams on an optical design problem, with an intermediate review and final project presentation and design report. At the end of the course students will understand the theoretical foundations of applied optics, be able to apply them to explain and analyse the physical behaviour of optical systems, and be able to design basic optical systems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 21 | Process Improvement and Change | EBM036B05 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Today's business environment requires organizations to undergo improvement and changes almost constantly if they are to remain competitive. The course Process Improvement & Change (PI&C) provides a framework for critically discussing change and improvement approaches in the field of Operations and Supply Chains Management. It distinguish two main aspects, proper of every improvement or change situation: (1) WHAT needs to change (content) and (2) HOW to bring about that change (process). In the course, we will discuss how a diagnosis of the change content and context can be made (WHAT), and what this diagnosis implies for an improvement plan (HOW). Students need to apply the framework to a real-case improvement project; representatives of companies will introduce their case. The framework will also be used to critically analyze the dominant improvement approaches in Operations and Supply Chains Management (e.g., lean management). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
