Topics
- The conference invites contributions to the broad field of physical mechanisms leading to scintillation processes in various inorganic materials initiated by ionizing radiation and the engineering and optimization of well known and new materials for specific or even large scale applications. In addition, the meeting will cover present and future applications in research and industry. Some of the major topics will be:
- Interaction of radiation with inorganic materials
- Luminescence mechanisms
- New scintillation materials
- Defects, radiation damage and recovery
- Crystal growth and processing
- Photo sensors and signal processing specific for scintillators
- Nuclear-, Medium- and High-Energy Physics experiments
- Astrophysics and cosmology experiments
- Medical diagnostics and therapy
- Security screening
- Industrial applications under extreme conditions
