The International Conference on Calorimetry in Particle Physics is the major and most comprehensive forum for discussion on state-of-the-art developments of calorimetry technologies. The Eleventh Conference covered all aspects of calorimetric detection and measurements, with emphasis on high energy physics and astrophysics experiments. Besides the usual discussion on calorimetry technologies this edition is enriched by the presence of two sections dedicated to new techniques for calorimetry and applications to calorimetry for the next Linear Collider experiments.
Calorimetry is rapidly gaining recognition as a primary detection technique for high energy, high luminosity machines. Calorimetry is fast developing; old techniques, like scintillator plates or liquid argon, are defined to achieve their ultimate performance. New techniques, like warm liquids or scintillating fibers, are tested in several setups. The conference is intended to review the advancement of calorimetry and plans for new R&D.
The DOE invites small business firms with strong research capabilities in science or engineering to submit grant proposals, The program's goal is to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector.
The exploration of the subnuclear world is done through increasingly complex experiments covering a wide range of energy and performed in a large variety of environments from particle accelerators, underground detectors to satellites and space laboratory. The achievement of these research programs calls for novel techniques, new materials and instrumentation to be used in detectors, often of large scale. Therefore, fundamental physics is at the forefront of technological advance and also leads to many applications. Among these, medical applications have a particular importance due to health and social benefits they bring to the public.
The GLAST Symposia provide a forum for the exchange of information across a broad range of scientific investigations. GLAST, NASA's new gamma-ray observatory, opens a new window into the universe. GLAST data will enable scientists to answer questions that arise within a broad range of topics, including super massive black hole systems, pulsars, gamma-ray bursts, the origin of cosmic rays, and searches for signals of new physics.
