WELCOME
We are pleased to announce the Workshop XDEP: X-ray DEtector Technologies for Physics.
The aim of the workshop is to gather different communities working on X-ray detector technologies, from UV to 200 keV, for fundamental research and industrial applications that do not often meet.
The workshop will cover all types of detectors (solid state, gaseous, cryogenic …) in different applications fields such as nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, synchrotron radiation and also medical and societal applications.
The scientific program will include talks during plenary sessions as well as a poster session. The participation of young researchers is highly encouraged.
The workshop will be held at the SOLEIL synchrotron, Saint Aubin; the 5th and 6th of February 2024.
Participation to the event is free of charge, but registration is compulsory.
