SCINT 2001 - 6th International Conference on Inorganic Scintillators; Opening Session.

Chamonix
Description
A large intellectual and financial effort has been made in the field of inorganic
scintillators over the past years. Several groups have combined their efforts in
international and multidisciplinary collaborations in order to coordinate the
fundamental studies on scintillation mechanisms and radiation induced effects. A
series of international conferences has been organized on inorganic scintillators
and their applications in different areas. The first one, CRYSTAL 2000, took
place in September 1992 in Chamonix, France. It was followed by the Scintillator
and Phosphor Symposium of the Materials Research Society in San Francisco,
USA, in April 1994, SCINT95 in Delft, The Netherlands, in August 1995,
SCINT97, in Shanghai, China, in September 1997, and SCINT99 in Moscow,
Russia, in August 1999. All these conferences have met a great success, with
important presentations made on newly discovered crystals, basic phenomena in
scintillators and impressive applications.
Time has come now to go back to Chamonix, to discuss and define after nearly
ten years, the present status and the new directions to be given to this important
area of detector developments.
