Eppd: particle detector for the lhcb-ecal upgrade 2 featuring ~10 picosecond timing

This $199,993 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) supports the development of a specialized particle detector for the LHCb-ECAL upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider. The awardee, Incom, Inc., a small business in Charlton, MA, will design and fabricate a particle detector featuring ~10 picosecond timing capabilities to enhance data collection for complex particle physics experiments at the LHC facility. This grant builds on Incom's expertise in advanced detector technologies, optical components, and scientific instrumentation, which the company has previously demonstrated through federal awards from the Department of Energy and Department of the Navy. The project will run from February 2025 to February 2026, furthering the Office of Science's mission to advance fundamental scientific research and technological innovation.
