DITANET International Conference: Accelerator Instrumentation and Beam Diagnostics

9 Nov 2011, 08:30 → 11 Nov 2011, 14:30 Europe/Zurich

Amphitheatre (Centro Nacional de Aceleradores - CNA)

Carsten Welsch (Cockcroft Institute), Joaquin Gomez Camacho (Universidad de Sevilla)

The DITANET Consortium held a three day international conference on diagnostic techniques for particle accelerators and beam instrumentation in Seville, Spain between 9^th and 11^th November 2011.
The conference, organised and hosted by DITANET partner University of Seville/Centro Nacional de Aceleradores (CNA) brought together all beneficiary, associated and adjunct partners from the consortium. It was also open to participants from the world-wide diagnostics community, in particular to researchers in their early career stage.
The latest developments and trends in our exciting research field were presented in both, oral and poster sessions. Invited talks given by research leaders from around the world forming the core of this interdisciplinary event. These were complemented by talks selected from all contributions to the conference.
The conference provided ample opportunities for critical discussions of research outcomes, exchange of knowledge and for meeting friends from the diagnostics community.
The scientific program for conference reflected the extremely broad research program being carried out by the DITANET partners covering all essential aspects of state-of-the-art beam diagnostics R&D. All DITANET trainees were given the opportunity to present their research results in oral presentation.
A number of scholarships were made available for researchers from outside the network. 
Invited talks from selected international research leaders as well as contributed talks from all submitted abstracts were selected by the Scientific Program Committee. All other accepted contributions being displayed in the poster sessions on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.
