CryoScint'08

The Fourth Workshop on Cryogenic Scintillation will be held at Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon on Friday June 6th 2008. It follows two workshops organized at Oxford in 2004 and 2006 and one at IPNL in 2007. The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussion of latest results or work-in-progress in the field of scintillation down to milli-Kelvin temperatures. Possible subjects include: tests of new scintillators for particle detection, luminescence mechanisms, low-background properties of scintillators, light detectors, modelling of light collection, and production/mass-production issues for rare-event searches. Registration is free but mandatory by May 9th. Informal presentations are welcome but abstracts must be submitted by May 9th. Please note that your registration is not complete until you have received an automatic email response. This year's workshop is supported by Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon and by Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. Support for work on cryogenic scintillation has also come from Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) grant SciCryo ANR-05-BLAN-0031. Proceedings will be published following an LTD-type model: papers must be brought to the workshop and then will be distributed to other participants for refereeing with a two week time limit. Hotel expenses will be covered for a limited number of participants: blocks of rooms will be reserved in a hotel for two nights (June 5th-6th and 6th-7th) and attributed with priority going to students giving a presentation. All rooms have been attributed now, benefeciaries will be contacted in early May with details.
