Workshop

This workshop focuses on the discussion of 4D tracking detector technologies, with particular emphasis on the development and performance of LGAD and AC-LGAD sensors and the path toward their monolithic integration.

A central motivation of the workshop is to bring together the community to review the progress achieved so far in LGAD and AC-LGAD detector development, exchange experience from ongoing R&D, and explore future directions toward fully monolithic implementations. The program is designed to foster in-depth technical discussion and collaboration across sensor design, readout electronics, and system integration.

To support these goals, the workshop will include invited talks from leading experts in monolithic detector technologies, as well as hands-on sessions covering TCAD and Virtuoso design tools and practical ASIC operation in a laboratory environment.

As part of the US–Japan collaborative research framework, the workshop provides a platform to strengthen international partnerships, promote knowledge exchange between the two communities, and advance joint efforts toward the next generation of high-performance 4D tracking detectors.

Venue and location

 

The workshop will take place at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, the largest campus of the UH system and only R1 university in the state of Hawai'i. The Manoa valley is located just north / inland (mauka) of the Waikiki and Mo'ili'ili areas of Honolulu.

 

Locations

Workshop sessions will be held in the Holmes Hall building, which is marked on the map below. The rooms are HH389 and HH287.

Street address: 2540 Dole St., Honolulu, HI-96822.

Transportation

Airport: Daniel K. Inouye Honolulu International Airport (HNL). Drive to the UH Manoa campus and Waikiki resorts, depending on traffic 20-30 min outside of peak hours.

 

Parking: flat rate at $5 per day, green stalls in parking structure #20, as indicated on the map above, and linked on the commuter services page. Payment by credit card only, no American Express or cash. Excerpt for lower campus:

Bus: Honolulu city buses 'The Bus': $3/7.50/20 for single ride, day ticket, or 3-day pass respectively. Holo cards are available in many small stores and supermarkets and use fare capping, i.e. a sum of individual rides will never exceed the value of a day ticket.

 

Bike: 'Biki' city bikes, usable with app - e.g. $5 for a ride of up to 30 min with up to 4 bikes.
