Objectives of the Workshop

The objective of the workshop is to provide an international forum for discussing recent research and development achievements in the field of cryogenic radiation and particle detectors.

This is the eighth in a series of biannual meetings, bringing together the communities of people working on applications in the fields of dark matter research, neutrino physics, X-ray astrophysics and to some extent infrared/sub-mm astronomy.

The main topics, addressed by the workshop are:

Cryogenic detector developments
This includes device physics, experimental achievements, fabrication technology, read-out techniques as well as cryogenic cooling.
Applications in the fields of dark matter search, neutrino physics and astronomy.
This includes description of instrumentation, as well as its performance parameters and initial results obtained.
Spin-off areas.
This includes applications in the fields of:
- X-ray micro-analysis
- Mass spectroscopy of large molecules
- Synchrotron research
- Electron, Ion physics

Proceedings

[Instructions for Authors]

The papers will be published in a special issue of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research (Section A). The instructions for the preparation of the papers has been distributed to all contact authors. Please note that the maximum length of an invited paper is 5 pages, for a contributed presentation (oral or poster) the maximum length is 3 pages. The reviewing process will take place during the workshop, so three hard copies should be brought to the workshop and handed over to the hostess at the registration desk.

Information regarding the instructions can be obtained from the ESTEC Conference Bureau.

How to get to Conference Centre 'de Bron'

Dalfsen is accessible by car and by train. A taxi from Dalfsen railway station to the Conference Centre will cost approximately NLG 25.00. If you arrive on Sunday 15 August, there will be a free bus shuttle arranged by the Conference Centre from Dalfsen railway station to the Conference Centre.
