TIDPAN 2026 - Taller de Instrumentación y Detectores en Física de Particulas, Astropartículas y Nuclear

15 Jun 2026, 01:26 → 26 Jun 2026, 16:20 Europe/Madrid

Valencia (IFIC/CSIC-UV)

Carlos Lacasta Llacer (IFIC/CSIC-UV), Carmen Garcia (Univ. of Valencia and CSIC (ES)), Cesar Domingo Pardo (Univ. of Valencia and CSIC (ES)), Ines Gil Botella (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas Medioambientales y Tecno), Ivan Vila Alvarez (Instituto de Física de Cantabria (CSIC-UC))

The TIDPAN workshop is a unique initiative specifically designed for PhD students from Spanish research institutions. The TIDPAN represents the first coordinated effort at the national level to bring together the nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics communities within a single, coherent programme fully focused on detector technologies, instrumentation, and experimental methodologies.

This TIDPAN goes beyond the traditional concept of a lecture-based event. It combines keynote lectures delivered by leading experts from the three scientific domains with an extensive programme of hands-on sessions, offering participants a comprehensive and practical overview of the current state of the art in detector technologies and experimental techniques. By encouraging interaction among participants, as well as with experts from different communities, the TIDPAN offers a natural environment for early-career researchers to develop professional connections and a common technical background.

The hands-on programme of the workshop covers the full experimental chain, from detector concepts and signal generation to electronics, data acquisition, and advanced data analysis techniques. The activities encompass the following detector and instrumentation categories:

• Radiation detection and spectroscopy

• Imaging techniques

• Scintillation and photodetector technologies

• Semiconductor detectors and characterisation

• Gaseous detector technologies

• Calorimetric detection

• Low-rate and ultra-low-background event detection

• Electronics, trigger and data acquisition systems

• Simulation and advanced data analysis

 

Through this integrated approach, the TIDPAN provides PhD students with hands-on exposure to technologies and methods that are central to current and future experiments in nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics. At the same time, it strengthens the national instrumentation community
