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

I’m looking at the program and discussing it with a few people and they mentioned that it seemed sort of lab centric
