REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR EDIT 2012 DETECTOR SCHOOL

 When:  13 February - 24 February, 2012
Where: Fermilab
Website: http://detectors.fnal.gov/edit2012

The 2012 Excellence in Detectors and Instrumentation Technologies school 
(EDIT 2012 <http://detectors.fnal.gov/edit2012>) will be hosted by Fermi 
National Accelerator Laboratory <http://www.fnal.gov/> in Batavia, IL, 
USA, from February 13 through 24, 2012. This is the second in a new 
series of international schools on particle physics detectors and 
instrumentation. The EDIT school was started at CERN in January, 
2011 (EDIT 2011 <http://edit2011.web.cern.ch/edit2011/>). 

The school is devoted to young researchers, in their graduate studies or 
first few years as a post doc, who want to acquire a deeper hands-on 
knowledge of classical and state-of-the-art particle detectors. The 
school will feature two full days of detector studies in each of four 
subject areas: fundamentals of radiation detection, photodetection, 
silicon tracking detectors and test beam fundamentals. The latter course 
will have students building detectors and putting them into the Fermilab 
Test Beam Facility <http://www-ppd.fnal.gov/ftbf> for irradiating with 
high energy particle beams.

In addition to the course work there will be daily plenary lecturers 
discussing how detectors are used in particle, nuclear and astrophysics 
experiments. There will be tours of the famous CDF and DO collider 
detectors, and a visit to Fermilab's MINOS underground laboratory 
<http://www-numi.fnal.gov/MinosAreas/>. There will be a reception and 
graduation dinner for the students.

Registration is now open for EDIT 2012. We will accept 64 students from 
around the world. There is no registration fee, but students will be 
asked to pay for their transportation to and lodging at the school.
