Description

Dear Colleagues:
It is a pleasure to invite you for the 18^th RD51 Collaboration Meeting together with the workshop on MPGD Applications Beyond Fundamental Science, that will be held, from 12^th to 16^th of September 2016, in Aveiro, Portugal.

18^th RD51 Collaboration Meeting (from 12^th-14^th September)

The meeting program will consist on working group sessions of Technological Aspects and Development of New Detector Structures, Common Characterization and Physics Issues, MPGD Related Electronics, Software and simulations, Production, and Common Test Facilities.

Workshop MPGD Applications Beyond Fundamental Science (from 15^th-16^th September)

From their beginning, MPGDs have played a fundamental role in HEP and Nuclear Physics. Today, due to the mature development stage of MPGDs, their applications are being extended beyond fundamental Science. The workshop on MPGD Applications Beyond Fundamental Science, intends to gather scientists and developments of applications in the fields of (but not limited to):

Medicine
Astrophysics
Material analysis
Heritage and Art
Homeland security
Industrial
Risk alert
Environment
etc.

We are looking forward to see you in Aveiro and sharing your work with whole the MPGD community:

Leszek, Silvia, João, Carlos and Fabrizio.
