Abstract
In this paper, we present recent activities carried out by our strongly integrated and multidisciplinary research group focused on the development of multifunctional Fiber Optic Sensors (FOS) for the monitoring of High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments at CERN. Starting from the consideration that Fiber Optic radiation hardness has been widely proven, the integrated group has been engaged in a very interesting and attractive project: “The FOS4HEP Project” with the main objective of design and develop novel and high performance multifunctional FOSs able to monitor important parameters of experiments running at CERN (temperature, strain, humidity, magnetic field, cryogenics) withstanding the extreme operative conditions typical of High Energy Physics experiments as the case of ultra intense magnetic field, radiation levels, cryo temperatures and ultra-vacuum conditioning. Obtained results are very encouraging, letting us consider the use of FOS technique as a robust and effective solution for monitoring requirements in HEP detectors for other physical and environmental parameters able to replace most of the conventional sensing technologies actually employed at CERN..
