The Beijing-Chicago Workshops on Detector R&D 2013

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

Following the successful First Beijing-Chicago Workshop on Detector R&D in June 2012, the Second Workshop aims to continue to establish highly productive R&D collaborations in detector technologies. In addition to the participants of the first Workshop, the Second Workshop  featured additional participants from University of Chicago, Fermilab, Argonne, Institute of High Energy Physics, Peking University, Tsinghua University  and other institutions in China and the U.S., in order to enhance the strengths of the planned Beijing-Chicago Consortium for advancing detector R&D. The ultimate goal of the workshop series is to enable a wide spectrum of detector applications to benefit our daily life and society in general.
