DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS DETECTOR AND ELECTRONICS DESIGN, ACCESSIBLE VIA INTERNET, TO SUPPORT JOINT DEVELOPMENTS OF NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CENTRES.

The Department of Electronics of the Institute for High Energy Physics is involved in designing, manufacturing and putting into operation soft- and hardware systems to automatize physical and technological experimental facilities and benches. Modern computational techniques, modular electronics and new programming methods are widely used in its activity.
The Department comprises scientific laboratories which develop apparatus and software, a design laboratory and workshop manufacturing electronics apparatus. The work is done by highly qualified scientific specialists, system engineers, programmers, designers, technological engineers and highly skilled workers. Many of them have worked for long periods of time in the largest scientific centers of Europe and the USA in the context of international collaboration.
The technical basis of the Department incorporates contemporary integrated automated systems for the designing and production of electronic apparatus. It includes:
- CAD/CAM of electronic apparatus, using AutoCAD and P-CAD packages combined with a local PCs network and workstations;
- a system, issuing design documentation and producing technological preparatory work with further transfer of the control information through interface lines directly to the automated technological equipment;
- manufacturing, based on modern imported technological automated equipment, that provides the production and control of multilayer printed circuit boards (up to 12 layers) of the sizes up to 500 x 500 mm and 3d - 4th classes of complexity of drawing, assembling of the apparatus, its tuning at automated work places and thermal and vibration tests.
- the server of project data base which provide a access to data base by Internet network for remote users (including and for another scientific centres).
