<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CRC News 2023 年 6月1日 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CRC 会員各位 CRC 事務局 **** Announcement of CYGNUS 2023 **** Dear CYGNUS friends, We are pleased to announce the *8th International Workshop on Directional Recoil Detection (CYGNUS 2023) *to be held at the University of Sydney, Australia on December 11 - 15, 2023. Conference website: https://indico.cern.ch/e/cygnus2023 The aim of CYGNUS 2023 is to bring together experimentalists and theorists interested in developing detectors with the capability of detecting the directions of recoiling particles, especially for low- energy applications. The scientific scope of the workshop is broad and will cover applications of directionality from across particle physics, astroparticle physics, and nuclear physics. Some of the specific topics that will be captured by the workshop include: • Directional detection of dark matter • Directional neutrino detection • Development of gaseous TPCs and micro-pattern gas detectors • Novel directional detection technologies (including nuclear emulsions, anisotropic crystals, NV centres, DNA etc.) • Recoil and detector simulation tools • Directional neutron detection • Directional detectors for nuclear physics/measurement of rare nuclear decays • TPCs for the detection of the Migdal effect The programme will consist of five days of keynote and contributed talks. All days will be scheduled into plenary rather than parallel sessions, and time will be devoted to allow for extensive discussions. Abstract submission is now open. The workshop will take place at the School of Physics on The University of Sydney's Camperdown campus—about 4 km from Sydney's central business district. If you are a student who needs travel support, please get in contact (ciaran.ohare [at] sydney.edu.au) as we may be able to partially offset some costs in certain cases. We look forward to seeing you in Sydney!
