DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleague\,\n\nIt is our pleasure to announce on behalf o
 f Harry van der Graaf and Jan Timmermans\, that NIKHEF will host the Micro
 -Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGD) Workshop\, including the first RD51 Collabor
 ation Meeting\, on 16th-18th of April 2008. RD51 has been initiated at CER
 N in 2007 to develop micro-pattern gas detectors.\n\nIt will be 100 years 
 since Geiger invented the first wire chamber\, and the meeting will reflec
 t on the history of gaseous detector technology\, while looking forward to
  new frontiers with MPGD\, new trackers\, state-of-the-art technologies\, 
 and the benefits to be gained from Moore's Law.\n\nThe meeting will have s
 essions on technology\, micro-electronics\, ageing\, simulations\, and com
 mon development (testbeams\, standardisation\, nomenclature\, etc.). It wi
 ll concentrate on the future and avoid status talks about current detector
 s.\n\nA further aim of the workshop is to set up the organization of the M
 PGD Collaboration (RD51).\n\nFor more information please contact: Harry va
 n der Graaf (vdgraaf@nikhef.nl) or Leszek Ropelewski (leszek.ropelewski@ce
 rn.ch).\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=25069
