World's fastes digicam goes to CERN, Geneva!

I just snapped this up... it is interesting news especially since I work at CERN! :)



A group of 20 scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison have spent the past five years developing this project. The 8-foot-tall camera can take images at less than two-billionths of a second. The project, called the Regional Calorimeter Trigger, is used to take pictures of colliding particles. This $6 million digicam will finally be put to the test later this year when it is shipped to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
