Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Georg Viehhauser is a Lecturer in the Physics department at the University of Oxford, UK, and a supernumerary fellow at St. John’s College, Oxford, UK. He has been working on a variety of different particle detector technologies, starting with the Forward Chamber A at the DELPHI experiment, the LKr calorimeter for NA48, the muon chambers for ATLAS, and the RICH for CLEO III. More recently, he has contributed to the construction of the ATLAS SCT and he is currently involved in the phase 2 upgrade of the ATLAS ITk, as well as the SVT for the ePIC experiment. He is one of the main organisers of the Forum on Tracking Detector Mechanics.

Tony Weidberg is a Professor of Physics at Oxford University, UK and a tutorial fellow at St. John’s College. He worked on CCD readout for a scintillating fibre detector at the CERN SPS collider. He played a major role in the founding of the ATLAS experiment and the design of the ATLAS SCT. He has a wide range of experience from detector R&D, assembly and integration of complex detector systems as well as evaluating their performance. He has extensive experience in radiation hardness studies, particularly for optoelectronics and applications of reliability theory.

Both authors have a long experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Oxford.
