The 3rd Beijing-Chicago Workshop on Detector R&D, Future Colliders, and Cosmology

All day

Begins March 9 through 10, 2015

The University of Chicago Center in Beijing
20th floor, Culture Plaza
No. 59A Zhong Guan Cun Street
Haidian District Beijing 100872

ORGANIZED BY

The University of Chicago (UChicago), U.S.A.

The Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHEP/CAS), China

WITH CO-PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS

Yifang Wang, Ph.D., Professor, CAS, Director, IHEP

Young-Kee Kim, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, UChicago

Following the success of the Beijing-Chicago Workshops on Detector R&D held in 2012 and 2013, the 3rd in this series will take place at the University of Chicago Center in Beijing, the Institute of High Energy Physics and theChinese Academy of Sciences in March 2015. The original theme of the Workshops focuses on the forefronts of advancing novel technologies in radiation detection, a critically important area interfacing basic physics R&D to many applied disciplines and industrial applications ranging from medicine to manufacturing. Held in June/2012 and June/2013 respectively, the Frist and Second Workshops were very productive in exchange of information related to the latest innovations and new R&D findings, discussions and planning of potential collaborative areas and joint grant applications, and enabling multiple working visits to and other focused working meetings in both Beijing and Chicago. It is generally believed that we should leverage these initial successful outcomes and continue to build additional momentum by holding additional Workshops and this year future colliders and cosmology will be added to enrich the workshop based on the common interest of researchers from both the U.S. and China.
