A workshop for the leaders in sensor technologies that enable
cutting-edge science in the X-ray, UV, Visible and Infrared
Registration & Call for Papers are Open!
Abstracts Submission Deadline has been EXTENDED to May 31
Join us for the 2013 edition of the Scientific Detector Workshop, known as SDW 2013. This workshop brings together the scientists and engineers who develop, produce and implement the most advanced imaging sensors used in scientific instrumentation. The workshop builds on the successful approach used for the previous Scientific Detector Workshops and Cayman Conferences, with a schedule that provides extensive time for the informal discussions that are a valuable portion of technical meetings. The workshop will consist of review papers, oral presentations, poster sessions, roundtables and group activities. Papers will be presented on:
- Status and plans for astronomical facilities and instrumentation (ground & space)
- Earth and Planetary Science missions and instrumentation
- Laboratory instrumentation (physical chemistry, synchrotrons, etc.)
- Detector materials (from Si and HgCdTe to strained layer superlattices)
- Sensor architectures – CCD, monolithic CMOS, hybrid CMOS
- Sensor electronics
- Sensor packaging and mosaics
- Sensor testing and characterization
There will be no parallel sessions, and poster pops provide all authors an audience with the full workshop.
Space is limited. Reserve your place today!
