Electronics for Radiation Imaging, High Energy Physics and Plasma Experiments

Dear Colleagues,

Radiation imaging systems, high-energy physics, and plasma physics experiments put particular demands on supporting electronic systems. Data acquisition from many measurement channels with precise synchronization, the need to control the front-end electronics in real-time with nanosecond accuracy or better, the operation of front-end electronics systems in irradiated locations creates broad opportunities for developing innovative solutions based on new technologies. A necessity to place the detector readout ASICs in a confined space with limited cooling possibilities requires dedicated low-power and radiation-hard solutions. Created systems often have distributed architecture and require unique solutions for control and configuration. The requirement of long-term maintainability combined with an ability to adapt to changing demands of the experiment and aging of components further increases the complexity of that problem.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics, focused on the development of:

• complete electronic systems supporting the HEP, Plasma physics experiments, and general radiation imaging systems,
• ASICs for radiation imaging,
• high-speed interfacing solutions with an emphasis on radiation-hardened solutions,
• control or communication protocols aimed at supporting such experiments,
• reconfigurable systems (e.g., FPGA-based)
• new algorithms and methods for processing the experimental data
• test and validation systems related to the above systems

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
