DAQ CARDS FOR THE COMPACT MUON SOLENOID: A SUCCESSFUL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER CASE

In this paper we give the description of a project accomplished by a collaboration of researchers, engineers and managers from a Greek medium-size company Hourdakis Electronics S.A and the research laboratories CERN in Geneva and DEMOKRITOS in Athens. The project involved the production of 22 Input-Output DAQ electronic modules to be used for R&D purposes in the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment of LHC at CERN. This project can be considered a successful technology transfer.
