The Fourteenth Topical Seminar on "Innovative particle and radiation detectors"
IPRD16 will take place in the Auditorium of the Graduate College Santa Chiara of the University of Siena, Italy,
from 3 to 6 October 2016 .
The Seminar is the fourteenth in a series devoted since more than 30 years to experimental apparatus for high-energy particle physics and astrophysics. The previous ones were held in San Miniato (1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1996, 1998) and in Siena (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013). The 2016 Seminar will again focus on advanced technologies in particle physics at collider experiments, and in cosmic ray and astrophysics experiments, including balloon-borne and space based experiments. Special attention will be devoted to the application of these detectors in other fields, such as detectors for medicine and biology, homeland security control, muonradiography of archeological and geophysical structures, and environmental monitoring. The participation of representatives from industry will make it possible to discuss future applications of basic research. The Seminar will be based on review talks summarizing the progress of complex R&D projects and major facilities. Shorter talks will cover contributions on specific items. The presentation of posters is also foreseen.
