Fast Imaging Sensors Workshop


April 18 & 19, 2016 - Oxford, UK


The University of Oxford hosts a biennial workshop that focuses on the development and application of fast position-sensitive sensors. The next meeting will be hosted at Jesus College on April 18 & 19, 2016.


Topics for discussion connect physics, chemistry, and engineering, and will cover both sensor development and applications, including time-of-flight ion and neutron imaging, particle physics and X-ray imaging, imaging mass spectrometry, and fluorescence methods. Each of these themes will be the focus of a conference session, and a poster session will additionally allow time and space for each participant to present their latest methods and results. A selection of poster abstracts may be considered for late-breaking topic talks. The organizing committee particularly welcomes paper submissions from post-doctoral researchers and senior graduate students.
