ICASiPM 2018

PosterICASiPMThe International Conference on the Advancement of Silicon Photomultipliers, ICASiPM 2018 brings together experts from around the world to discuss the latest developments in silicon photomultipliers, future directions, and most importantly, the standardization of SiPM characterization.

The effort to standardize SiPM characterization has become imminent due to the rapid improvement of SiPMs in recent years and its equally rapid growing user community. Only by standardizing measurement procedures will it be possible to compare devices from different producers and results obtained by different users in a meaningful way, thus considerably accelerating development cycles of SiPM applications.

RICH 2018

The 10th International Workshop on Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detectors will take place in Moscow, Russia, from July 29th to August 4th.

posterRICH18 smallThe workshop will present "state of the art" and future developments in Cherenkov light imaging techniques for applications in High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics and Astroparticle Physics.

The topics of the Workshop will be: Cherenkov light imaging in particle and nuclear physics experiments, Cherenkov detectors in astroparticle physics, Novel Cherenkov imaging techniques for future experiments,Photon detection for Cherenkov counters,Pattern recognition and data analysis,Alternative PID techniques,Technological aspects and applications of Cherenkov detectors,Remembering Pavel Cherenkov.

The Workshop program will consist of plenary sessions and poster exhibitions and an associated industrial exhibition from Monday to Friday.

The deadline for abstract submission is on March 31st.

IceCube Masterclass

MasterclassSENSE was present at the fifth edition of the IceCube Masterclass program in Geneva with a hands-on experiment measuring cosmic muons using a scintillator bar and SiPM detector. About 35 students and some professors took part and spent a full day in excellent activities lead by Prof. Teresa Montaruli together with Dr. Andrii Nagai and other colleagues.
