1st International Symposium on Radiation Detectors and Their Uses (ISRD2016)
January 18th -21th, 2016 (Tsukuba, JAPAN)

Dear all,

We would like to cordially invite you to the First International Symposium on Radiation Detectors and Their Uses (ISRD2016) to be held in Tsukuba, Japan, from January 18th to 21st, 2016. This international symposium is held as the memorial conference of the 30th workshop on Radiation Detectors and Their Uses. The workshop has been held for 30 years under the promotion of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and plays an unique role to present an opportunity for researchers in many filed to discuss about all topics related to radiation detectors in Japan. The symposium inherits the aims of the workshop and succeeds in presenting with opportunities internationally and in bringing together both young and experienced scientists from all regions of the world to open avenues for their collaboration at regional and global level. The symposium covers a wide range of topics; basic processes in radiation detectors, detector developments and instrumentation in radiation measurements and dosimetry, and applications in the fields such as nuclear physics, astrophysics, material sciences, medicine and engineering.

Topics
In the conference, a number of the (distinguished) invited speakers will deliver key-note talks, and there will be sessions by oral and poster presentations as given below.

Basic Process of Radiation Detector
