12th RD51 Collaboration Meeting and Workshop on Neutron Detection with MPGDs

14 Oct 2013, 08:00 → 17 Oct 2013, 18:00 America/New_York

CERN

Jean-Marie Le Goff (CERN), Leszek Ropelewski (CERN), Maxim TITOV (CEA Saclay), Pablo Moreno Jimenez (Universitaet Bern (CH))

In the framework of the future RD51 activities, we agreed to organize series of specialized topical workshops helping to disseminate MPGD applications beyond fundamental physics, where potential users and industry could meet together.

We would like to bring to your attention that the next RD51 Collaboration Meeting at CERN in October will take place in conjuction with the Special workshop "Detecting Neutrons with MPGDs".
