Vertex 2007

顶点检测是理解粒子相互作用物理的关键技术。由于所使用的技术可以达到几微米的分辨率，因此探测器在其他领域也有应用，例如医学成像。锡拉丘兹将于2007年9月在纽约州普莱西德湖举办第16届“顶点探测器”系列会议。会议的目的是评估硅基顶点探测器的进展，重点是现有和未来的探测器、新材料、软件、对准、电子学、触发、3D设备、单片结构、新开发、医疗和其他领域的应用。

Vertex detection is a crucial technique for understanding the physics of particle interactions. Since the techniques used can have resolutions of down to several microns there are applications for the detectors in other areas such as medical imaging. Syracuse will host the 16th workshop in a series of such meetings on ''Vertex Detectors" at Lake Placid, NY, in September 2007. The aim of the meeting is to evaluate progress on silicon based vertex detectors with emphasis on existing and future detectors, new materials, software, alignment, electronics, triggering, 3D devices, monolithic structures, new developments, applications to medical and other fields.
