The International Workshop on Low Temperature Detectors (LTD) is held every two years and provides an international forum for discussing the latest research, development efforts and applications of cryogenic detectors for radiation and particles. The rapid technical developments of the last years and their outstanding features make these detectors very attractive in a variety of fields from fundamental research to applied sciences.

The topics include:

  • Low Temperature Detector Physics and Technology
  • Signal Read-out and Analysis; Multiplexed Readout Schemes for Large Detector Arrays
  • Sub-Kelvin Refrigerators
  • Rare Events Detection In Underground Laboratories: Dark Matter, Double Beta Decay, Rare Nuclear Decays, Solar Neutrino Detection
  • Neutrino Physics: Mass, Magnetic Moment, Nuclear Coherent Scattering at Neutrino Beam
  • X-Ray Astronomy: Incoming and Future Missions for the Study of AGN, Elemental Abundance, Bulk Motions, Gamma Ray Bursts, Interstellar and Intergalactic Media
  • UV to IR Astronomy: Single Photon Spectrophotometry of Faint Objects
  • Bolometers for Cosmic Microwave Background
  • High Resolution Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy at Synchrotrons and at EBITs
  • New Methods and new Tools for Analysis in Material Science, Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic and Plasma Physics, Nuclear Proliferation, Safety, Security, and Absolute Activity Measurements in Meteorology
  • Detectors for Nuclear and Heavy Ion Physics
