22nd RD50 Workshop on Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for High Luminosity Colliders, Summer 2013 at University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM

新墨西哥大学将于2013年6月3日至5日在校园内举办第22届高亮度对撞机辐射硬半导体器件研讨会。这是自2001年以来的第一次北美会议。硅探测器，包括条形和像素器件，在现代粒子物理和核物理实验中无处不在。用于局部轨迹触发的三维装置和多层结构的出现，提供了将跟踪信息带到触发决策的最早阶段的前景，以便在可怕的无趣过程背景中记录非常罕见的现象。考虑到这些设备所在的高辐射场，以及随之而来的高读数率，需要处理原位和非探测器信号，因此需要持续努力进行研发，并定期讨论整个领域的结果和挑战。这次研讨会为科学界提供了这样一个机会。会议将涵盖材料和缺陷表征、探测器表征、全探测器系统和新结构。5日下午，将举行为期半天的大型强子对撞机（LHC）实验辐射损害的小型研讨会。研讨会的一个重要的更广泛的影响是，仪器社区的初级成员的出席是会议的优先事项。所有的会谈都将是全体会议，为专家和年轻科学家提供了极好的能见度。

The University of New Mexico will host the 22nd Workshop on Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for High Luminosity Colliders on its campus from June 3 to 5, 2013. This represents the first North American meeting in a series dating from 2001. Silicon detectors, including strip and pixel devices are ubiquitous in modern particle physics and nuclear physics experiments. The advent of three-dimensional devices and multi-layer structures used for local track triggering afford the prospects of bring tracking information to the earliest stages of trigger decisions for the data recording of very rare phenomena in a horrendous background of uninteresting processes.Given the very high radiation fields in which these devices are located, and the attendant high readout rates needed to deal with signals both in situ and off detector, an ongoing strong effort is needed to conduct R&D and discuss results and challenges across the field on a regular basis. This workshop affords the scientific community such an opportunity. Sessions will cover Material and Defect Characterization, Detector Characterization, Full Detector Systems, and New Structures. A half day mini workshop on radiation damage at LHC experiments is planned for the afternoon of June 5. An important broader impact of the workshop is that attendance by junior members of the instrumentation community is a priority for the meeting. All talks will be plenary, providing excellent visibility for both experts and younger scientists.
