The DRD1 Gaseous Detectors Simulation School 2026 will take place in Bari in May 18-22, 2026. The school is an initiative of the DRD1 collaboration and is organized by INFN with the support of the Interuniversity Department of Physics of the University of Bari and the Polytechnic University of Bari.
The scientific programme focuses on cutting-edge simulation of state-of-the-art gaseous detector technologies including MPGDs, (M)RPCs and wire-based detectors. The primary objective of the school is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles underlying the simulation of gaseous detectors, with particular emphasis on their applications in high-energy physics and related fields. The school consists of theoretical lectures in the morning followed by hands-on exercises in the afternoon. The target audience are PhD students and young scientists working on gaseous detectors or entering the field.
Participation fee, accommodation, travel and other expenses have to be covered by the participants. Admission to the school is limited. Interested students are requested to register through the registration form and to provide a short CV, brief motivation letter and one letter of recommendation. The morning lecture sessions are open to the community and can be followed in-person or by remote connection. Registration is required. Applications to the school are now open via the "Registration" link on the left. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2026.
