Data acquisition electronics and reconstruction software for directional detection of Dark Matter with MIMAC
Directional detection of galactic Dark Matter requires 3D reconstruction of
low energy nuclear recoils tracks. A dedicated acquisition electronics with
auto triggering feature and a real time track reconstruction software have been
developed within the framework of the MIMAC project of detector. This
auto-triggered acquisition electronic uses embedded processing to reduce data
transfer to its useful part only, i.e. decoded coordinates of hit tracks and
corresponding energy measurements. An acquisition software with on-line
monitoring and 3D track reconstruction is also presented.Comment: 17 pages, 12 figure
Data acquisition electronics and reconstruction software for real time 3D track reconstruction within the MIMAC project
Directional detection of non-baryonic Dark Matter requires 3D reconstruction
of low energy nuclear recoils tracks. A gaseous micro-TPC matrix, filled with
either 3He, CF4 or C4H10 has been developed within the MIMAC project. A
dedicated acquisition electronics and a real time track reconstruction software
have been developed to monitor a 512 channel prototype. This autotriggered
electronic uses embedded processing to reduce the data transfer to its useful
part only, i.e. decoded coordinates of hit tracks and corresponding energy
measurements. An acquisition software with on-line monitoring and 3D track
reconstruction is also presented.Comment: Proceedings of TWEPP-11, Vienna, Austria, 26-30 September 201
Micromegas detector developments for MIMAC
The aim of the MIMAC project is to detect non-baryonic Dark Matter with a
directional TPC. The recent Micromegas efforts towards building a large size
detector will be described, in particular the characterization measurements of
a prototype detector of 10 10 cm with a 2 dimensional readout
plane. Track reconstruction with alpha particles will be shown.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures Proceedings of the 3rd International conference on

Micromegas detector developments for Dark Matter directional detection with MIMAC
12 pages, 12 figuresThe aim of the MIMAC project is to detect non-baryonic Dark Matter with a directional TPC using a high precision Micromegas readout plane. We will describe in detail the recent developments done with bulk Micromegas detectors as well as the characterisation measurements performed in an Argon(95%)-Isobutane(5%) mixture. Track measurements with alpha particles will be shown
MACVIA-LR (Fighting Chronic Diseases for Active and Healthy Ageing in Languedoc-Roussillon) : a Success Story of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing
The R\ue9gion Languedoc Roussillon is the umbrella organisation for an interconnected and integrated project on active and healthy ageing (AHA). It covers the 3 pillars of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA): (A) Prevention and health promotion, (B) Care and cure, (C) and (D) Active and independent living of elderly people. All sub-activities (poly-pharmacy, falls prevention initiative, prevention of frailty, chronic respiratory diseases, chronic diseases with multimorbidities, chronic infectious diseases, active and independent living and disability) have been included in MACVIA-LR which has a strong political commitment and involves all stakeholders (public, private, patients, policy makers) including CARSAT-LR and the Eurobiomed cluster. It is a Reference Site of the EIP on AHA. The framework of MACVIA-LR has the vision that the prevention and management of chronic diseases is essential for the promotion of AHA and for the reduction of handicap. The main objectives of MACVIA-LR are: (i) to develop innovative solutions for a network of Living labs in order to reduce avoidable hospitalisations and loss of autonomy while improving quality of life, (ii) to disseminate the innovation. The three years of MACVIA-LR activities are reported in this paper
