Detector R&D Workshop

Workshop on Detector R&D

Marcel Demarteau and Chip Brock

Last spring we announced a unique workshop, jointly sponsored by the five DOE labs and the DPF focused on detector R&D in the U.S. This reminder is to bring you up to date and to bring to your attention a solicitation of posters for an extended poster session during the workshop.

Here are the particulars:

The goals of this workshop are:

  • To survey the detector research and development currently being carried out at national laboratories and universities

  • To identify the areas of detector R&D that hold greatest promise

  • To identify current challenges and future needs of all stakeholders and discuss the future of detector R&D in the U.S.

When:     AM, Thursday, October 7, 2010 – Noon, Saturday, October 9, 2010

Where:   Fermilab
