Super Scintillator Arrays

Agenda / Presentations for 2/2010 Meeting

Dear Colleague,

This is to inform you about the agenda for our Working Group break-out session at the FRIB Equipment workshop on February 20 (7:30 - 9:30 p.m., Parallel Session B). The session will start with a series of 7 - 10 minute presentations which are listed below. The titles and the sequence of the presentations are subject to change.

1. Introduction and comments on international context [Walter Reviol/Washington University]
2. Application I: Giant resonance studies with large scintillator arrays [Robert Varner/Oak Ridge National Laboratory]
3. Application II: Spectroscopy with CsI(Na) array using fast beams [Dirk Weisshaar/Michigan State University]
4. Application III: Electronic-timing lifetime measurements in-beam and decay [Volker Werner/Yale University]
5. Application IV: Experiences with the DANCE BaF2 calorimeter [Aaron Couture/Los Alamos National Laboratory]
6. Overview talk scintillators and specifics about lanthanum halides and CLYC [Jarek Glodo/Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc.]*
7. Liquid xenon detector [Dan McKinsey/Yale University]
8. Related issue: Ge strip detector [Kim Lister/Argonne National Laboratory]
9. Talk by Glodo - Continued [Jarek Glodo/Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc.]
* 15-minutes time slot

There will be ample time for discussions between each presentation and after this block of short talks.

We hope that the selection of topics and presenters is a reasonable and fair coverage of topics and experiences related to present and future arrays of scintillator detectors. We would like to encourage you to contact us ASAP if you have additional suggestions for topics or/and presenters.

Best Regards,
