Gamma-ray GroupThe HERD prototype is being tested at CERN PS beam between Aug 29 and Sep 12. This test, together with the one happening at SPS next October, will be used to validate and optimize the different sub-detector concepts and complete Phase B of the project.
IFAE contributes the trigger & readout system for two sub-detectors: the fiber tracker (FIT) and plastic scintillator detector (PSD), which will be instrumental for HERD’s capabilities as a gamma-ray space telescope. IFAE crew at the beam test is composed of Keerthana Lathika, Monong Yu, Giulio Lucchetta, Juan Boix, Laia Cardiel and Javier Rico
