BA: SIPM WORKSHOP: FROM FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH TO INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
SEZIONE DI BARI The conference “SiPM workshop: from fundamental research to industrial
applications” will be held in Bari, Italy from October 2, 2019 to
October 4, 2019. The conference is organized by Università degli Studi
di Bari, Politecnico di Bari and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare
di Bari.
The main goal of the workshop is to review the main fields in which
Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are being employed, understand the
present limitations and define R D goals for their improvement. Many
experiments in medical, particle and astroparticle physics are adopting
SiPMs for existing detectors or for future upgrades, with different
requirements in terms of performances and operating conditions of these
devices, for example cryogenic temperatures, space environments,
high-intensity radiation, low to high light intensities, wavelengths
from vacuum ultraviolet to infrared. Applications involving medical
imaging are also exploring SiPMs for the construction of detectors with
high granularity with a relative low cost per channel. Experts from
different fields will meet to review SiPM requirements in their
respective area of interest and discuss solutions, including most recent
and emerging developments in SiPM design and production, front-end
electronics, and new characterization methods for optimizing SiPM
performances. Participation from industry is welcomed and desired.
The workshop will cover the following topics:- New development and
characterization methods- High-energy and nuclear experiments-
Astroparticle and space applications- Medical applications- Industrial
development
