Dear Colleagues,

am pleased to announce that this year, the Nuclear Science

Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference will be held in

Portland, Oregon. Being in the northwest part of the country,

the weather is typically cool but pleasant at the end of October. The

conference location is on Hayden Island, which offers spectacular

views of both Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood, not to mention

the pristine Columbia River. Adjacent to the hotel complex is a large

mall featuring many internationally known stores.

This year we are expanding the program to include the semi-annual

International Workshop on Room Temperature Semiconductor X-

and Gamma-Ray Detectors. The topics covered by this workshop

correlate directly with numerous topics of interest to both the NSS

and MIC attendees, and all conference registrants will have equal

access to all programs. In addition, the Symposium on Nuclear Power

Systems will also be holding their annual activities in conjunction

with the NSS.

To supplement the conference program activities for your compan-

ions, we are planning an exceptional tour program that will provide

an exciting set of alternative activities.

We are looking forward to a technically stimulating and socially en-

gaging experience in one of the most picturesque locations in the

Pacific Northwest.

Tour #1: Mt. Saint Helens

Sunday, October 19 (Depart @ 09:00, 8 hours)

We will depart from the hotel at 09:00.

On May 18, 1980, at 08:32, Mount Saint Helens erupted violently.An earthquake of magnitude five triggered one of the world’s largestrecorded landslides. During this avalanche, more than 1,300 feet of themountain’s top cascaded into the Toutle River Valley below. The mas-sive landslide released a powerful, laterally directed blast, destroying150,000 acres of forests and killing every living thing above ground.Mudflows caused by melting snow and ice mixed with ash and trees,choked the Toutle, Cowlitz, and Columbia Rivers, killing the salmonand steelhead. When it was over, 57 people had perished and the arearesembled a moonscape.

Nearly two decades later, the land blooms once again. Fish swim inthe rivers and lakes. Wildflowers again bend to mountain breezes. Elkand deer abound in the hills. Thanks to the planning and cooperativeefforts of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) For-est Service, Weyerhaeuser and many private organizations, the storyof this fateful eruption will be remembered and told.

We will be visiting Johnston Ridge Observatory, which offers spec-tacular views of the lava dome and crater. While at the interpretivecenter we will view an excellent film portraying the event that changedthe mountain forever.

Short Course 2: Nuclear Science for Homeland Security

Sunday, October 19, 08:30 – 17:00, Clackamas Room (JB)

Organizer: Anthony J. Peurrung, PNNLInstructor: Tom Gosnell, LLNL

This one day course will cover the application of nuclear science gen-erally and radiation detection methods specifically to the field of home-land security. This course is intended primarily for those who havesome familiarity with nuclear science and would like to better under-stand homeland security applications and how technologies are de-veloped and applied to them. Prospective students with a general phys-ics or engineering background but little preparation in the area ofnuclear science are welcome but are very strongly encouraged to studythe book Radiation Detection and Measurement (3’rd Edition, JohnWiley and Sons, New York, 2000) by Professor Glenn Knoll prior tothe course.

The course will start by defining what is meant by homeland securityand discuss the general areas in which nuclear science expertise and tech-nology comes into play for homeland security applications. A discussionof the operational environments typically encountered along with spe-cific examples will be provided. A generic discussion of threat classes willbe given. The course will describe the three basic classes of gamma-raydetection instrumentation considered for field use and help students un-derstand how decisions are made with respect to their use. The role ofadvanced materials development, particularly the development of roomtemperature high resolution gamma ray spectrometers, in aiding home-land security applications will be described. The application of a varietyof advanced radiation detection methods including imaging, collimation,pulse shape discrimination, and alternative signatures will be covered.The critical topic of “backgrounds” will be described including both naturalradiation background and naturally occurring radioactive materials(NORM). Further, the use of advanced algorithms for data analysis anddecision-making will be covered. Active methods and their role in home-land security will be described. Finally, the computer codes that are usedto assist with homeland security applications will be described alongwith their applications.

With recent improvements to SPECT acquisition hard-ware and image processing methods, research has been undertaken indynamic SPECT imaging in order to achieve the single photon analog ofdynamic PET imaging. This course will focus on several of the data ac-quisition and image reconstruction strategies currently used in dynamictomographic imaging along with current clinical applications.

The course will be divided into three sessions:

The first session will describe current methods used in dynamic im-aging including PET and SPECT. Different data acquisition and im-age reconstruction methods will be described which produce dynamictracer data. Methods will range from fixed ring PET systems to con-ventional SPECT acquisition methods. Image reconstruction meth-ods used to improve dynamic image quality will be described alongwith some of the clinical applications of these methods.

Kinetic modeling approaches will be described in the second session.These modeling methods, including compartmental modeling, have beenused to improve reconstructed image quality, and to determine quantita-tive rates of tracer flow and metabolism. Among the methods describedwill be applications of Factor Analysis of Dynamic Structures (FADS)used for modeling of dynamic data and for improving image quality.

The final session details clinical applications where dynamic SPECTand dynamic PET imaging have either been used, or could poten-tially be of use. An example of potential applications include cardiacperfusion, brain receptor imaging and renal function.

Statistical Image Reconstruction Methods

Tuesday, October 21, 13:30 – 17:00, Santiam Room (CR)

Organizer: Freek Beekman, University Medical Centre UtrechtInstructor: Johan Nuyts, K.U.Leuven, Belgium

The introduction of novel PET, SPECT and CT imaging devices,availability of fast computers and algorithms, as well as the increasingdemand for improved image reconstruction has brought new relevanceto the topic of discrete reconstruction methods. These include meth-ods that are suitable for modelling noise in the projection data, forincorporating prior knowledge about the object to be reconstructed,and for model-based correction of image degrading effects (i.e. detec-tor blurring, photon attenuation and scatter).

The objective of this four-hour course is to provide up-to-date practi-cal knowledge on the emerging area of discrete image reconstruction,applied to SPECT, PET, and transmission CT. The course will covertopics like scatter correction for emission tomography and CT, beam-hardening correction for X-ray CT, resolution recovery through themodelling of blurring, noise suppression through Bayesian methodsand post-filtering, and characteristics of different types of algorithmsapplied to different modalities. In all cases, numerous examples willbe presented of the present state-of-the-art.

Prerequisite knowledge should include basics of the physics of imag-ing systems, statistics, and elementary linear algebra.

Dosimetry in Nuclear Medicine – Importance and Necessity

Tuesday, October 21, 08:30 – 17:00, Yakima Room (CR)

Organizer: Michael Ljungberg, Lund UniversityInstructors: Bo-Anders Jönsson, Lund University

Michael Stabin, Vanderbilt UniversitySven-Erik Strand, Lund University

By dosimetry, we mean calculation of the energy imparted by radiationper unit mass and the relation of this parameter to biological effects, suchas the risk of cancer induction or cell death. The MIRD methodology,developed to standardize radiation dose calculations in nuclear medicine,is based on a stylized computer phantom representing a reference man(or woman). The absorbed doses per unit activity from source organs totarget organs are then calculated. For patient specific dosimetry in radio-nuclide therapy, however, different approaches need to be considered thatinclude the patient-specific geometry and biokinetics. Here, nuclear medi-cine imaging with proper correction for photon attenuation, scatter andcollimator resolution is needed to obtain the most accurate activity mapsas possible. Multiple studies are required to investigate the activity distri-bution over time. The absorbed dose to surrounding tissue, tumor andcritical organ are calculated, using MIRD S-values, directly from activityimaging using convolution methods, or by direct Monte Carlo calcula-tion. A registered anatomical image is required for the dose calculation.The absorbed dose depends on the radionuclide and on biological half-life and special care should be considered for radiation-sensitive organs,such as the bone-marrow.

This course is designed to give an overview of the evolving dosimetryfield in nuclear medicine and look into the different technologies as MonteCarlo, SPECT, PET dosimeters, high resolution imaging and so on nec-essary for developing dosimetry methods with high accuracy. The courseincludes lectures on types of radiation and their relative biological effects,how to measure activity distributions in vivo and the inherent limitationsof such measurements, how to go from activity to absorbed dose, andhow dosimetry models can be useful when going from macrodosimetrybase on scintillation camera images to small scale dosimetry at the tissueand cellular level.

Conceived by Thomas Jefferson, the Lewis and Clark Expedition rep-resented America’s commitment to the Enlightenment. Jeffersonsought candid, practical information on flora, fauna, minerals, weather,linguistics, longitude/latitude, medicine, Indian culture, and trade po-tentials. Wrestling with the prospect that mammoths and mastodonsmight yet stalk the uncharted interior of the American West, Jeffersondispatched Lewis and Clark with congressional funding and the assis-tance of the American Philosophical Society for a 2.5-year expeditionto penetrate the “great unknown.” The success of the expedition setthe stage for successive federal projects and the dissemination of theirresults.

Stephen Dow Beckham is the Pamplin Professor of History at Lewis& Clark College. Following award of his Ph.D. from UCLA he beganteaching 35 years ago. His field of research, teaching, and writing isthe history of the American West and the American Indian. His booksinclude THE LITERATURE OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK EX-PEDITION (2003), LEWIS & CLARK: FROM THE ROCKIESTO THE PACIFIC (2002), REQUIEM FOR A PEOPLE: THEROGUE INDIANS AND THE FRONTIERSMEN (1971), andTHE INDIANS OF WESTERN OREGON (1977).

Mount St. Helens and Modern Studies of Active Volcanoes:

Volcanology for Beginners

Professor Katharine V. Cashman

Wednesday, October 22, 17:45 – 19:15, Riverview Ballroom (CR)

The 1980-1986 eruption of Mount St. Helens, WA, marks the com-ing-of-age of Volcanology as a quantitative science. Prior to 1980,monitoring of active volcanoes was limited to non-explosive volca-noes such as Kilauea, Hawaii. The awakening of Mount St. Helensfocused US volcanologists on problems of monitoring and predict-ing the activity of explosive volcanoes. Careful documentation ofthe eruptive sequence coupled with nearly twenty years of retro-spective analysis have made Mount St. Helens the most thoroughlystudied volcano in the world. Moreover, techniques and insightsresulting from these studies have provided a foundation for vol-cano monitoring and prediction efforts around the globe. The lat-est investigations in this field will be discussed in an illustrated pre-sentation designed for the general, non-expert audience.

Katharine V. Cashman is a Professor of Geological Sciences at theUniversity of Oregon, where she has taught since 1991. Prior tojoining the faculty at University of Oregon she graduated fromMiddlebury College, VT, was a Fulbright scholar in New Zealand,worked for the US Geological Survey at both Woods Hole andMount St. Helens, completed a doctorate at Johns Hopkins Uni-versity, and taught for 5 years at Princeton University. She has workedon volcanoes in Antarctica, New Zealand, Japan, Ecuador, Indone-sia, Italy, Alaska, Hawaii and the Cascades. She currently serves asthe President of the Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology sec-tion of the American Geophysical Union and was recently awardedthe title of Distinguished Professor, College of Arts and Science,University of Oregon.

NUCLEAR SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM (NSS)

he Nuclear Science Symposiumoffers an outstanding opportu-nity for scientists and engineers

interested or actively working in thefields of nuclear science, radiation in-strumentation, software and their ap-plications to meet and network withcolleagues from around the world. TheNSS program emphasizes the latest de-velopments in technology and instru-mentation and their implementation inexperiments in space, accelerators andother radiation environments. In addi-tion, there will be a number of dedi-cated Workshops and EducationalCourses (Short Courses) on specializedNSS topics. The NSS is running to-gether with the MIC, SNPS and RTSDand one important aspect is to furthercommunication and discussions amongthese different disciplines.

Having received a record number ofover 600 contributions from colleaguesworking on numerous NSS topics fromaround the world for the NSS and re-lated Workshops alone (and 1,200 con-tributions for the overall NSS/MIC) wehave decided to expand the NSS pro-gram this year both in terms of days andcontents. While the traditional NSSParallel and Poster Sessions, Workshops and Short Courses offerthe opportunity for very detailed, dedicated and highly special-ized presentations and discussions by world experts in the corre-sponding fields, Plenary Sessions have been added to provide over-view and help to integrate the NSS program as events where allattendees may participate, and also meet with each other. Toemphasise the importance of presenting all excellent scientific work,the NSS Poster Sessions are given special attention this year asthere will be no scheduled NSS oral sessions during the 2-hourposter sessions. In addition, each poster session is announced atthe end of the corresponding NSS oral session. All conference par-ticipants are invited to the Poster Sessions with poster authorspresent and available for discussions. Awards will be given for thebest poster contributions (recognizing both scientific excellenceand presentation quality). The posters will be accessible 24 hoursfor individual viewing. Joint NSS/MIC and NSS/RTSD eventswill be offered - which include joint social events as well. NSSparticipants are welcome to enroll for the MIC dinner cruise (Fri-day night) while MIC colleagues are cordially invited to partici-pate in the traditional NSS Luncheon on Tuesday. We have workedvery hard to eliminate potential conflicts between sessions andevents such that every attendee can benefit from this rich scien-tific program and spectrum of topics, sessions and events offeredat this year’s NSS.

Mysteries and Future Directions in Particle Physics

Speaker: Professor Hitoshi Murayama

Particle physics is at a very exciting stage.Dark Matter, Dark Energy, NeutrinoMass, and Weak Force all suggest thatTeV is the relevant energy scale of theproblem. We are just about to probe thisenergy scale. The past few years the par-ticle physics community went throughthe planning process for the next twentyyears. The outcome was the realizationthat there are many deep scientific ques-tions that can be addressed in the nearfuture.

Professor Hitoshi Murayama is Professor of Physics at the Univer-sity of California, Berkeley, where he joined the faculty in 1995.Professor Murayama earned his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics fromthe University of Tokyo in 1991. He is a member of the FermilabPhysics Advisory Committee and the Executive Committee of theAmerican Linear Collider Physics Group, and has served on sev-eral advisory committees, including the latest DOE/NSF HighEnergy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) Subpanel on Long RangePlanning for U.S. High Energy Physics. He was the 2002 recipi-ent of the Nishinomiya Yukawa Commemoration Prize for: “Themechanism of gaugino mass generation due to the super-confor-mal anomaly.”

MIC Deputy Program Chair

Stephen Glick

On Friday afternoon we will have a third plenary session. We are veryfortunate to have join us Dr. Steve Webb, author of From The WatchingOf Shadows, who will review for us the fascinating historical foundationsof tomographic imaging. This will be followed by an open business meet-ing of the Nuclear Medicine and Imaging Sciences Technical Committeewhich sponsors MIC. At this meeting the 2003 Young Investigator, Stu-dent Travel, and other awards will be announced, and plans for futureMIC’s will be discussed.

Friday night the MIC banquet will be a Columbia River cruise on boardthe beautiful “Portland Spirit”. The ship will meet guests at the JantzenBeach Doubletree boat dock and cruise up-river with a buffet dinner,wine-tasting and music. We encourage all interested to buy their ticketsearly as seating will be limited.

We are deeply indebted to the many reviewers who have contributedvaluable time from their busy schedules to provide their reviews on timethus allowing us to setup the MIC program well in advance of the meet-ing. We are also grateful to the commercial companies that have contrib-uted funds to support student travel and participation in this meeting.We encourage all attendees to thank them for this support. We wouldalso like to thank and acknowledge all the help we have received frompast MIC program chairs and deputies, the general program chair, Dr.Ralph James, and members of the conference team. In particular, we wouldlike to thank Dr. Bo Yu for creating and supporting the web site whichmade the job of putting together the MIC program manageable.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2003 MIC. With your help andsupport, we believe it will be a big success.

MEDICAL IMAGING CONFERENCE (MIC)

elcome to the 2003 MedicalImaging Conference (MIC)!This year we will continue to use

the 4-day format of the last two years. MICsaw continued growth in submissions withapproximately 33% more then last year. Sig-nificant growth occurred in the areas of smallanimal imaging, CT and x-ray imaging, andMRI. The meeting will consist of 7 non-over-lapping oral sessions with each paper beingallocated 12 minutes for presentation and 3minutes for questions. Additionally there willbe two joint oral sessions with NSS andRTSD on Tuesday. There will be six postersessions to allow attendees time to meet anddiscuss with presenters their work. We planto have the poster hall open 24-hours per dayto allow off-hour viewing. Due to the phe-nomenal growth of MIC, the posters will onlybe able to be up for approximately two dayseach. Posters 1 through 177 will be placedin numerically ascending order in theDoubletree Ballroom of the Columbia RiverHotel between 18:00 on Tuesday, October21, and 22:00 on Thursday, October 23.Similarly, posters 178 through 354 will be inthe Salon East Ballroom of the Jantzen BeachHotel between 18:00 on Thursday, October23 and 21:00 on Saturday, October 25. Each poster number is precededwith the number of the session (M3, M6, M7, M10, M11, or M14) inwhich the presenter will be present to discuss the poster. Posters are as-signed to sessions such that every third poster should have a presenterpresent during a session. There are also four exciting MIC short courses(Medical Imaging Fundamentals, Dosimetry in Nuclear Medicine, Dy-namic Imaging in Emission Computed Tomography, and Reconstruc-tion Methods) that will be held before the official start of the MIC.

The meeting will start on Wednesday morning with an MIC Plenarysession at which Dr. Roderick Pettigrew will discuss the future of medicalimaging in relation to the new National Institute of Biomedical Imagingand Bioengineering. This will be followed by plenary talks given by Dr.Benjamin Tsui and Dr. Edward Hoffman, who will discuss the state-of-the-art and future directions for SPECT and PET imaging. Followingthe tradition of the 2002 MIC, the second plenary session on Wednesdaymorning will be held jointly with NSS and RTSD. At this session Dr.William Moses will provide us with an update on scintillation detectorsand their use in medical imaging, and Dr. Harrison Barrett will discusssemiconductors and medical imaging.

Thursday evening a workshop will be held discussing the openGATE(Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) project, which is amulti-institutional collaborative effort formed to develop and vali-date a Monte Carlo simulation package for modeling nuclear medi-cine imaging systems.

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON ROOM-TEMPERATURESEMICONDUCTOR X-RAY AND GAMMA-RAY DETECTORS (RTSD)

t is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 13th InternationalWorkshop on Room-Temperature Semiconductor X-Ray andGamma-Ray Detectors. This bi-annual conference represents the

largest forum of scientists and engineers working to develop new solid-state radiation detectors and imaging arrays.

For those of you who have attended the past workshops, welcome back! AsChairs for the workshop, we are particularly delighted to make the acquain-tance of new contributors, as there are many challenges that lie ahead, some ofwhich will be solved by those who are now relatively new to the subject area.

It is our sincere hope that this conference will facilitate cross-fertiliza-tion of research and spawn creative ideas, and that these ideas will beincarnated into knowledge, lending to new directions and thrusts.We urge you to take time at this meeting to build on the commonal-ity of your work with colleagues within the RTSD, NSS and MICconferences, and to share your data, energy and experience, and ex-plore ways to enhance cooperation and collaboration with others.

We have chosen to hold this meeting in conjunction with the IEEENSS and MIC meetings for the purpose of encouraging informationexchange between a much larger body of scientists and engineers whohave an in-depth knowledge of detectors, instrumentation, nuclearscience and technology, and medical imaging. Joint sessions betweenthe NSS and Satellite on Interconnect Technology are planned to helpbring people together with common interests and offer the right envi-ronment for the creation of new and fruitful associations.

This year the RTSD luncheon will be held on Wednesday, October 22ndaboard the cruise ship, the Williamette Star. RTSD acknowledge thesupport of eV Products as the official sponsor for the luncheon cruise.Boarding will take place at the Doubletree Jantzen Beach Boat Dockpromptly at 12:00 noon. The boat will return at 2:30pm. You are en-couraged to purchase your ticket(s) when you pre-register as seating islimited.

We would like to thank the speakers and attendees for their contribu-tions, and express our gratitude to the session chairs and members of theWorkshop Program Committee, who have offered their time to enlist theinvolvement of most researchers working in the field. We also thankU.S. Department of Energy, NA-22 for their sponsorship of RTSD.

Hadron Therapy Workshop

Monday, October 20, McKenzie Room (CR)

Organizers: Patrick Le Dû, CEA Saclay; Manjit Dosanjh, CERN

Cancer is a major societal problem and radiotherapy (RT) plays an essen-tial role in its treatment. If radiotherapists could have proton and ionfacilities as "cheap" and "small" as it is possible for photons and electronsthen the clinical use of the latter would be dramatically reduced. To com-pensate for the poor depth-dose dependence of photons, the radiothera-pists use complex Conformal and Intensity Modulated techniques, how-ever they are still limited by the non-optimal properties of these beams.The major problems are the volume of healthy tissue exposed and thetime involved in each treatment.

Protons are now used in many hospitals over the world and there are afew experimental center using ions. Indeed light ions, and protons, haveunique physical properties and very favourable depth dose distribution.But, unlike X-rays and protons, ions have a lower lateral diffusion and,above all, a superior radio biological effectiveness (RBE) at the end oftheir range in the tumour target volume. This means that they can pro-duce severe damage to the tumour while sparing the healthy tissues.Hadrontherapy is an advanced technique to treat radioresistant and in-operable tumors using particles like protons and ions.

The purpose of this one day workshop is to review the technical aspectsof the hadrontherapy for both protons and ions. Hadrontherapy is a per-fect example of a multidisciplinary field, where medical doctors, physi-cists and engineers should work together in a coherent way to promote,develop and inovative techniques to treat the cancer.

A lot of experimental as well as clinical facilities already exist and/or areunder discussion around the world (USA, Europe, Japan, Australia). Newtechnologies in accelerators, beam delevery systems, detectors and realtime imaging, etc should improve considerably the interest of such therapyin the near future.

Global Detector Network

Monday Afternoon, October 20, Santiam Room (CR)

Organizers: R.V. Kooten, Univ. Indiana; J. Mnich, CERN

Like the construction and the operation of an Electron-Positron LinearCollider with a centre-of-mass energy in the TeV range also the associ-ated particle physics experiment will be a true global effort. Consequently,the concept of the Global Detector Network envisages completely re-mote operation and control of the detector following the original idea ofthe Global Accelerator Network for the future machine. Equivalent con-trol rooms in different regions of the world will be set up which includeall functionality for reliable and secure operation of the accelerator andthe detector reducing the need for local interventions to a minimum.

There are technical problems like the necessary bandwidth for the datatransfer to be addressed. Communication security is of course of highestimportance. The complete control from a very distant place will havelarge implications on the design of the detector and the electronics as allkinds of failures must be detected and cured remotely. Other non-techni-cal items are how the training of shift operators must be adapted and thequestion of responsibility for safe operation of the distant apparatus.

The workshop will cover the various aspects. Experience made at pastand present high energy physics experiments will be discussed as well asplans for large experiments under construction. Also the knowledge ac-quired in space experiments and remotely controlled observatories is ofgreat interest.

Nanotechnology Workshop

Wednesday Morning, October 22, Deschutes Room (CR)

Organizer: K. Sattler, Univ. Hawaii

The emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology are consideredto influence eventually almost every area in technology and in humanlife. The ability to create structures atom by atom will lead to fundamen-tally new materials properties and functions. It will allow scientists togain unprecedented understanding and control over the basic buildingblocks of solid materials. Science and technology on the nanometer scaleis revolutionary and could change almost everything, from computers tomedicines, airplanes, automobiles, and objects not yet imagined.Nanomaterials could be used for the design and construction of build-ings, new types of memory devices, nanocircuits for computers,nanorobots, nanomedicine, new types of detectors for photons, ions, heat,or elementary particles. Physicists could use quantum behavior to designintelligent nanostructures and molecular electronics. Engineers could buildmachines about a million times as small as they are today. Chemists andbiologists could create molecules with every atom precisely placed. Thismay lead to new types of instrumentation and detectors for high energyphysics, radiation research, astrophysics, and space exploration. There-fore the workshop on nanotechnology could be of great interest for scien-tists and engineers attending the IEEE NSS meeting.

The Nanotechnology Workshop will focus on key areas of today's activi-ties in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Such areas of nanotechnologyare nanomaterials (clusters, nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanotubes,nanowires), nanosensors, nanoelectronics (single-electron transistor, etc)or nanomedicine (molecular nanoelectronics). Speakers will be advisedto give general introductions to their field of speciality.

Detector Aging Workshop

Thursday, October 23, Deschutes Room (CR)

Organizers: Marcus Hohlmann, Florida Institute of TechnologyMaxim Titov, Freiburg Univ./ITEP MoscowArchana Sharma, CERN

High Energy Physics experiments are currently entering a new erawhich requires the operation of gaseous particle detectors at unprec-edented high rates and integrated particle fluxes. Full functionalityof such detectors over the lifetime of an experiment in a harsh radia-tion environment is of prime concern to the involved experimenters.The goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for interested ex-perimentalists to review the progress in understanding of aging ef-fects and to exchange recent experiences. This will be the third work-shop dedicated to this topic following the first workshop on wire cham-ber aging at LBL, Berkeley in 1986 and the second workshop on ag-ing phenomena in gaseous detectors at DESY, Hamburg in 2001.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

ne never really knows what goes on behind the scenes of anylarge event until you undertake it yourself. The road to suc-cess in organizing such a meeting is the dedication of its

organizers, as well as the enthusiasm of the participants. I certainlyhave been lucky to have the pleasure and honor of working with peopleof such caliber. I cannot begin to thank them all enough for whatthey have done, but I hope that the real thanks comes from the par-ticipants themselves, who come every year and make the NSS, MIC,RTSD and SNPS such a successful and enjoyable yearly event. I amsure I speak for all of us in saying that we would like to see this meet-ing continue with equal success. The only way that can happen iswith the hard work of dedicated individuals. I would therefore like toagain thank all of the people who helped to organize this year’s meet-ing, including those who helped us from Organizing Committees ofprior years. I would also like to thank all of the sponsoring institutes,listed on page 156. I look forward to seeing everyone again next yearin Rome, Italy.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE2004 NSS/MIC/SNPS AND RTSD CONGRESS

Rome, Italy - October 16-22, 2004

The Nuclear Science Symposium, Medical Imaging Conference, Sym-posium on Nuclear Power Systems and 14th International Workshopon Room Temperature Semiconductor X- and Gamma- Ray Detec-tors will be held for the first time in Italy, in the prestigious city ofRome, on October 16-22, 2004. This conference represents a uniqueoccasion for scientists and engineers from all over the world to par-ticipate and present their original works in a variety of subjects re-lated to nuclear science and medical imaging. The Nuclear ScienceSymposium offers an outstanding opportunity for scientists and engi-neers interested or actively working in the field of nuclear science,radiation instrumentation, software and their applications to meetand network with colleagues from around the world. The MedicalImaging Conference is the most productive international scientificmeeting on the physics, engineering, and mathematical aspects ofnuclear medicine based imaging. In addition, significant contribu-tions in X-ray and other imaging modalities involving ionizing radia-tion are an emerging area of the Medical Imaging Conference. TheSymposium on Nuclear Power Systems will again be held in conjunc-tion with the Nuclear Science Symposium. The Technical paper ses-sions on nuclear power systems cover subjects currently of major in-terest to the operation of nuclear power stations and supporting ser-vices and suppliers. The Room Temperature Semiconductor X- andGamma- Ray Detectors workshop represents the largest forum of sci-entists and engineers working to develop new solid-state radiationdetectors and imaging arrays.

The venue of the conference is the Ergife Palace Hotel, one of thelargest exhibition and congress areas in Europe. Its complex is unique,combining the largest hotel in Italy with one of the most extensiveexhibition facilities in Europe on the same site. This provides a re-markable opportunity to make the congress activity pleasant and re-laxing, saving time and avoiding such things as the stress of traffic inthe city. The Ergife Palace Hotel is located in a residential area of thecapital in a key position near S. Pietro and within a short distance ofthe historical center of the city. It is only 4 kilometers from the mainRing Road, and only 26 kilometers from Fiumicino’s Leonardo daVinci International Airport. It is within walking distance of the un-derground station. Regular bus services provide connections with allof the important cultural sites and commercial centers in Rome. Taxiservices are constantly available to guests and a shuttle service is pro-vided by the hotel on demand. Additional information can be ob-tained by contacting:
