> The IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) offers an outstanding
> opportunity for scientists and engineers interested, or actively
> working in the fields of, nuclear science, radiation detection, high
> energy physics and astrophysics, and related software. The scientific
> program provides a comprehensive review of the latest developments in
> technology and covers a wide range of applications from radiation
> instrumentation and new detector materials, to complex detector
> systems for physical sciences and advanced imaging systems for
> biological and medical research. The NSS program consists of plenary,
> parallel, and poster sessions.
>
> Nuclear Physics Instrumentation covers a wide range of detector
> technologies for medium to large scale nuclear physics experiments:
> low energy nuclear astrophysics, medium energy study of nuclear
> structures with RI beams, high energy hadron physics with lepton or
> hadron beams and heavy ion collisions. The detector technologies
> include, but are not limited to, various types of particle tracking
> detectors, energy measuring devices (e.g., calorimeters),
> scintillation detectors and particle identification systems. This
> topic typically focuses on large detector systems that are reporting
> on system performance, experience in long term operation,
> commissioning tests, beam test results, or proposed new or future
> detector systems for nuclear physics. Contributions are solicited on
> the following topics or related subjects:
> •    Calorimetry (both electromagnetic and hadronic)
> •    Large scale tracking detectors, including silicon trackers, drift
> chambers, time projection chambers and micropattern detectors
> •    High precision vertex detectors
> •    Large scale scintillation detectors for measuring photons and/or
> charged particles
> •    Neutron detectors
> •    Cherenkov counters (both threshold and ring imaging)
> •    Time of Flight detectors
> •    Other types of particle identification detectors, such as Transition
> Radiation Detectors
> •    Calibration systems for detectors used in nuclear physics 
> experiments
