Chair of 9th CYGNUS workshop - 1st bulletin (2025 Oct. 1st)
Dear Colleagues, It is a great honor to announce that the 9th edition of the international CYGNUS Workshop on Directional Recoil Detection will take place in Kobe (Japan) from 23rd to 25th February 2026. The aim of the 9th CYGNUS workshop 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 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 • Directional neutron detection • R&Ds and applications of Gas TPCs, MPGDs, and their readout electronics • Novel directional detection technologies • Recoil simulation tools • Detection of rare nuclear decays The programme will consist of three 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 extended discussions. Abstract submission is open now. The workshop is held at Kobe University Integrated Research Center, 7 Chome-1-48 Minatojima Minamimachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0047, Japan.
