Acceleratr Infrastructure in Europe EuCARD 2011, International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunication, vol.57, no 3, pp.413-419, September 2011

The paper presents a digest of the research results in the domain of accelerator science and technology in Europe, shown during the annual meeting of the EuCARD – European Coordination of Accelerator Research and Development. The conference concerns building of the research infrastructure, including in this advanced photonic and electronic systems for servicing large high energy physics experiments. There are debated a few basic groups of such systems like: measurement – control networks of large geometrical extent, multichannel systems for large amounts of metrological data acquisition, precision photonic networks of reference time, frequency and phase distribution. Keywords— Electronics and photonics for high energy physics experiments, free electron laser, distributed measurement and control systems, precise timing distribution systems of large space extent, advanced electronic systems, integration of hardware and software.
