International Workshop on New Photon Detectors

The International Workshop on New Photon Detectors (PD09) will be held at Shinshu University in Matsumoto, Japan, from 2009 June 24-26. Recently, we are looking at an evolution of photon-detection technology with new devices applicable to many fields: high energy physics, nuclear physics, cosmic-ray physics, astronomy, cosmology and medical sciences. The workshop focuses on recent development of photon-sensors and the applications. The "Geiger mode multi-pixel photon device" is one of the main targets at this workshop. We also cover Hybrid-PMT, APD, MCP-PMT and other new photon-sensors. The workshop is sponsored by the Detector Technology Project, IPNS, KEK and Faculty of Science, Shinshu University. The workshop is also supported by JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Creative Scientific Research "Research and Development of a Novel Detector System for the International Linear Collider", and MEXT Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas "New Development of Flavor Physics".
