The 4th Low Light Rapid Detection Hardware Training Camp Opens

NDO - On the morning of March 3, the Vietnam Science Association, ICISE Center and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and Education (IFIRSE) officially opened the "4th Hardware Training Camp for Applications in the Field of Rapid Low-Light Detection" in Binh Dinh. This year's training camp took place from March 3-8, bringing together more than 30 scientists, researchers and graduate students from 6 countries: the US, Germany, Japan, India, the Czech Republic and Vietnam.

The training camp was honored to have the direct participation of leading scientists in the field, including: Professor Yuichi Oyama, High Energy Accelerator Research Establishment (KEK), Japan; Professor Atsumu Suzuki, Kobe University, Japan; Dr. Michael Holik, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic.

In addition, online lectures are presented by scientists from prestigious domestic and international universities and research organizations, including Dr. Nhan Tran, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), USA; Dr. Guillaume Pronost, University of Tokyo, Japan; Dr. Nam Tran, Boston University, USA; Dr. John Paul Cesar, University of Texas at Austin, USA; Dr. Chau Nguyen, University of Siegen, Germany; Associate Professor, Dr. Van Nguyen, Institute of Physics (IOP), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).

The training camp provides students with knowledge of Particle Physics , the nature of light, cosmic rays and advanced methods for their detection. The course delves into weak light detection techniques with very fast and sensitive sensors, which have many applications in scientific research and technological development.

The course delves into low light detection techniques with very fast and sensitive sensors.

Students are instructed and trained in practical skills, such as designing reading circuits with light sensors, how to use electronic modules to process and record signals, handle noisy signals, simulate and design experiments, as well as how to obtain and process data with light signals and cosmic rays.

At the Training Camp, students are introduced to Timepix technology, an advanced technology used in NASA space exploration missions and medical imaging.

The course also introduces programming of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), a semiconductor device with flexible integrated circuits that can be reconfigured via post-manufacturing programming to optimize specific tasks that require parallel and real-time processing. In addition, students will learn about fast machine learning, a branch of machine learning that focuses on accelerating training and inference.

The boot camp not only provides professional knowledge but also serves as a networking forum where graduate students have the opportunity to directly interact with leading experts in the field and discuss the latest research trends in the field of rapid low-light detection.

Through in-depth discussions and group activities, students not only broaden their knowledge but also build scientific collaborations, seek opportunities to participate in international research projects, and orient their future career development.

In addition to the “Hardware Training Camp for Applications in the Field of Rapid Low-Light Detection”, the Neutrino Physics Research Group, the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research andEducation (IFIRSE, ICISE) also coordinates to organize the annual “Vietnam Neutrino School”, which has been maintained since 2017.

The Neutrino Physics Research Group is the only experimental research group, pioneering in Vietnam and Southeast Asia in the field of elementary particles. During its activities, the group has made contributions to the research results of the T2K experiment - one of the ten world scientific discoveries in 2020.
