Areas of R&D Priorities

Topic Area	Description	Links
Innovative Photosensors	Blue skies research: technological breakthroughs for new science – SNSPD: Superconductive Nanowires Single Ph Detector. – VUV sensitive detectors for low-light detection
Photosensor (& Instrumentation) Development	Enhance experimental capabilities (eg improving Single Photon detection, timing, radiation hardness, ..) – SiPM – main stream in photosensors development – MicroChannel Plate (MCP) PMT – CCDs – “Accessories”: Filters, Lenses, Wavelength shifters, Waveguides, Fibres, PoF, SoF, Optics
Large Area Photo Detector Systems	PhotoCollectors and integrated readout for photosensors – R&D on scalability of light readout for current and future neutrino/DM experiments – Increase of photo-coverage to improve energy resolution and lower threshold – Noise hit rates, radiopure materials, power dissipation, large bandwidth signal transmission (readout channels and data volumes)
