Dear Michael

sorry for the delay in answering.

Padova (Dipartimento di Fisica and INFN, Sezione di Padova) is willing
to partecipate to the new R&D proposal.

Members are: Andrea Candelori (20%), Alexei Litovchenko (30%),
             Riccardo Rando (30%) and myself (contactperson, 20%)

The main activity of the group is the CMS experiment (silicon
microstrip tracker).

Available resources: - clean room with capability of detector mounting
                       and microbonding;
                     - complete equipment for electrical characterization;
                     - laser pulser;
                     - oven;
                     - simulation tools (SPICE, ISE-TCAD);
                     - X-ray gun;
                     - irradiation line with protons (up to 28 MeV) and
                       heavy ions.

Interest: We intend to perform device characterization before and after
          irradiation. Therefore we have a clear interest in BASIC STUDIES
          (MACROSCOPIC and SURFACE DAMAGE).
          We plan to start in investigating NEW MATERIALS and NEW DETECTOR
          STRUCTURE and DESIGN.

ciao
