Abstract
Initiated by the growing demand for intensive interactions between physics and industry in order to develop new products and technologies needed for future high energy physics detectors, a large research and development programme has been elaborated by Swiss universities (ETH Zürich and University of Geneva) and leading edge Swiss industry. In this programme all costs are shared equally by both partners, science and industry. To maximize the use of existing industrial infrastructure, physicists and engineers are delegated from their home institutes to work directly in the participating firms and thus have full access to all facilities.
Based on the recent experience collectively gained in the construction and operation of the large L3 Detector at CERN (Geneva), and the strong general interest to actively participate in the eventual L3+1 Detector at LHC or the L* Detector at SSC, substantial Swiss efforts shall focus on the conception, design, construction, installation and operation of a high precision muon spectrometer.
The need for an integrated research and development programme has been identified and will be carried out in the following areas in close collaboration with industry as mentioned: alignment systems (Groupe DIXI), precision electronics (LeCROY S.A.) and parallel optical data transfer (Asea Brown Boveri Ltd., National Elektro, EB Norsk Kabel). The entire programme deals with a broad variety of high technology developments. It is expected to lead to a large number of applications far beyond the limited market of high energy physics experiments.
