Registration OPEN: Graduate Instrumentation and Detector School (GRIDS) June 3-14, 2024 @ TRIUMF

[Marcello Pavan]

--------------------------

*Registration is open *for the 2024 Graduate Instrumentation and 
Detector School (GRIDS2024) sponsored by TRIUMF and the Arthur B. 
McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute (McDonald 
Institute), which will take place at TRIUMF in Vancouver, Canada from 
*June 3 **- 16**, 2024.*


/*The registration deadline is Friday March 15, 2024. */


*_About the School: _*

GRIDS2023 (https://grids.triumf.ca) is a free summer school aimed at 
graduate students for whom particle and radiation detection plays an 
important role in their work, and who would like to gain hands-on 
experience with detectors and associated instrumentation technology. The 
goal of the school is to provide an introduction to practical aspects of 
detector principles and operations in nuclear, particle, and 
astroparticle physics, such that participants achieve a working 
knowledge of the origin of data produced by commonly employed detector 
systems.

*_Objectives: _*

GRIDS will offer a diversified program from leading experts, combining 
plenary seminars with hands-on laboratory experience with typical 
detector and instrumentation technologies.

Participants will develop a basic understanding of the interactions of 
particles with matter that are relevant to radiation detection, and of 
the physical mechanisms for collecting energy deposited by radiation. 
Operational principles will be covered for commonly employed detectors 
suitable for measurements of energy, momentum, timing, and particle 
identification. Low background environments and radio-frequency and 
electronic techniques will be discussed. Participants will explore 
design and decision-making in the field of radiation detection with 
focus on the rationale, limitations, and breadth of detector 
applications and development.

Participants will also develop laboratory skills to operate commonly 
used equipment for radiation detection in a safe and effective manner, 
identify common problems associated with operating particle physics 
detectors, and work as a team to experiment using a detector assembly.

*_Sessions:_*

·The History and Future of Radiation Detectors

·Gas Detectors

·Scintillation Detectors

·Solid State Detectors

·Calorimeters and Particle Identification

·Noble Liquid Detectors

·Low-Background Techniques

·Data Acquisition and Electronics

·Cryogenic Detectors

  * Beamline Techniques
  * Organic & Inorganic Scintillators
  * Photo-Sensors Techniques
  * Gas Detectors
  * GEM Detectors
  * Solid State Cryogenics Techniques
  * Data-Acquisition Systems
  * Low-Level Electronics

*_Application and Registration Procedure: _*

The school will be accepting a limited number of participants, although 
we have increased the number of places this year somewhat. Applications 
along with letters of reference will be accepted via the GRIDS website 
(Registration opening later this week).

*/To lower any barriers to participation, some travel support is 
available from MI and TRIUMF. Please include any support needs you may 
have when applying. /*

*/Please recognize this is a limited resource, and so make it clear why 
your participation will rely on our travel support rather than e.g., 
support from your supervisor./*

The application process is about to open through the website 
http://grids.triumf.ca <http://grids.triumf.ca>.

*Applications, including letters of reference, must be received by 
Friday, March 15**^th **.*


Successful applicants will be notified by early April.
