TRDs for the third millennium
4th Workshop on Advanced Transition Radiation Detectors for Accelerator and Space Applications
Bulletin n. 2
This is the second announcement of the 2011 Workshop on Advanced Transition Radiation Detectors that will take place on September 14-16, 2011 at the Physics Department of University of Bari, Italy. This workshop is sponsored by the CERN, the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), the Politecnico di Bari and the Università di Bari "Aldo Moro".
1. Programme
The aim of the workshop is to discuss the applications of Transition Radiation Detectors in current and future accelerator and astroparticle physics experiments as well as to give an overview of the modern trends of advanced particle detector developments.
The programme will include sessions on TRDs in accelerator experiments, TRDs in space experiments, an overview of up-to-date particle identification methods, new approaches in the development of TRDs and an open discussion on the evolution of TRDs for future experiments. A special session will be dedicated to the latest trends of the detector developments and their possible applications for TRDs including X-ray detectors, as well as electronics for signal processing.
A session will be devoted to the memory of Boris Dolgoshein, who passed away in Dec. 2010. It will contain a retrospective of his many fascinating achievements and addres new challenging ideas.
2. Attendance and registration
To register for the workshop please fill in the registration form or send an e-mail to the workshop secretariat: trd2011@ba.infn.it, indicating the dates of arrival and departure.
The deadline for registration is September 5, 2011.

The workshop secretariat will notify before July 29, 2011 if the contribution has been accepted. The average allocated time for presentations is expected to be 25 minutes including 5 minutes of discussion. Contributors are requested to provide, upon arrival, an electronic version of their presentation. Invited and contributed talks will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.
5. Proceedings
The proceedings of the workshop will be issued in 2012 on Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research.
6. Accommodation
All participants should book their accommodation in one of the hotels in Bari. All details can be found in the hotel list. It is recommended to book the room as soon as possible, since there is an important trade exhibition (“Fiera del Levante”) scheduled in Bari at the same time.
