Scientific Detector Workshop 2013

Scientific Detector Workshop is to be held on Oct 7-11, 2013 in Florence, Italy.

Papers will be presented on the following topics:

• Status and plans for astronomical facilities and instrumentation (ground & space)
• Earth and Planetary Science missions and instrumentation
• Laboratory instrumentation (physical chemistry, synchrotrons, etc.)
• Detector materials (from Si and HgCdTe to strained layer superlattices)
• Sensor architectures – CCD, monolithic CMOS, hybrid CMOS
• Sensor electronics
• Sensor packaging and mosaics
• Sensor testing and characterization

Tentative list of invited speakers:

• Mark McCaughrean & Mark Clampin "Space Astronomy Needs"
• Bonner Denton "Laboratory Instrumentation"
• Roland Bacon "MUSE - Example of Imaging Spectroscopy"
• Ian Baker & Johan Rothman "HgCdTe APDs"
• Jean Susini "Synchrotrons"
• Rolf Kudritzki "Stellar Astrophysics: Perspectives on the Evolution of Detectors"
• Jim Gunn "Why Imaging Spectroscopy?"
• Harald Michaelis "Planetary Science"
• Robert Green "Imaging Spectroscopy for Earth Science and Exoplanet Exploration"
