Scientific Programme

The PD2025 Workshop will cover a broad range of topics reflecting the latest developments and challenges in photon-detector science. The scientific programme is structured around three main thematic areas:
Application Areas, Photosensor Technologies, Enabling Technologies and R&D. Together, these tracks represent the core themes of the workshop and outline the scope of discussions and presentations that will shape PD2025.

  • Application Areas

    Showcasing the diverse fields where photon detectors play a key role, from fundamental physics to societal impact.

    • Accelarators and Colliders

    • Astroparticle and Neutrino Physics

    • Astrophysics, Astronomy and Space Applications

    • Cryogenic and Noble Liquid Detectors

    • Medical and Societal Applications

    • Timing Applications

  • Photosensor Technologies

    Focusing on the design, development, and characterisation of current and emerging photodetector type.

    • Solid-State Photodetectors (eg. SPADs, traditional and digital SiPMs)

    • Gaseous Photodetectors

    • Vacuum Photodetectors (eg. PMTs, MCPs, hybrids)

    • New Materials and Technologies

  • Enabling Technologies and Related Topics

    Highlighting cross-disciplinary innovations that support performance, integration, and future advances.

    • Electronics and Readout

    • Radiation Damage

    • Simulation and Modelling

    • Other Related Topics
