Establishement of High Energy Physics Joint Laboratory through the Detector Projects at Cern

We propose to combine the laboratories that were established in NTU, NCU, and Academia Sinica for LHC phase-II upgrade into a “Joint High Energy Physics Laboratory”. The Joint Laboratory will focus on the silicon detector technology. All the R&D and production of detectors will be organized jointly to achieve maximum efficiency. With such joint operation, we shall combine the expertise of several labs and establish a state-of-the-art silicon lab with world class technical capability. Through the execution of the LHC project, as well as organizing local and international conferences, we hope to attract more experiments to produce their detectors in Taiwan, and thus build up international reputation and keep improving our technical expertise.
