Welcome

The focus of the international workshop on new Photon-Detectors (PD2025) will be on recent progress and future developments in a wide range of photosensor technologies, including Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), Microchannel Plates (MCPs), Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs), Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs), hybrid PMTs, digital photosensors, and emerging materials. The workshop will also highlight the broad spectrum of applications for these technologies in particle and astroparticle physics, nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, astronomy, and instrumentation development.

The scientific programme will consist of plenary sessions featuring both invited and contributed talks, as well as a dedicated exhibitor’s session and a poster session designed to foster interaction and collaboration, particularly among young researchers.

The workshop proceedings will be published on JINST.

The workshop is dedicated to creating a welcoming, respectful, safe experience for everyone. We kindly ask everyone to respect the code of conduct and contribute to making this event a positive and inclusive experience for everyone.

For any questions, please contact us.
