Super Scintillator Arrays

Message from Conveners

Dear Colleague,

This message is related to the FRIB equipment workshop at Michigan State University, February 20-22, 2010. As you may know, different working groups are being formed to discuss needs and plans. Among the working groups is one for "Super scintillator arrays". As appointed conveners, we invite you and others in your institution/lab to join the working group, so we may benefit from your expertise and interest. We would also appreciate your forwarding of this information to any interested colleague.

While there will be many angles to discuss, a straw starting agenda includes:

(a) Range of applications
(b) Modularity
(c) Combination with other detector arrays
(d) "Other" capabilities (e.g. gamma-neutron separation)
(e) New scintillator materials (current availability, developments)

We look forward to hearing from you via e-mail. We will plan other modes of communication as we progress.

Best Regards,
Partha Chowdhury, University of Massachusetts Lowell
Walter Reviol, Washington University (point-of-contact)
Volker Werner, Yale University

Co-convenors of the working group
