Excellence in Detectors and Instrumentation Technologies school (<a
href="http://detectors.fnal.gov/edit2012">EDIT 2012</a>) will be
hosted by <a href="http://www.fnal.gov/" target="_blank"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);">Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory</span></a> 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 (<a href="http://edit2011.web.cern.ch/edit2011/" target="_blank"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">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 <a
href="http://www-ppd.fnal.gov/ftbf">Fermilab Test Beam Facility</a> for
irradiating with high energy particle beams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">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 <a
href="http://www-numi.fnal.gov/MinosAreas/">MINOS underground
laboratory</a>. There will be a reception and graduation dinner for the
students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
