Registration and abstract submission are open
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.

Preliminary Agenda
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 — showcasing the diverse fields where photon detectors play a key role, from fundamental physics to societal impact.
- Photosensor Technologies — focusing on the design, development, and characterisation of current and emerging photodetector types.
- Enabling Technologies and Related Topics — highlighting cross-disciplinary innovations that support performance, integration, and future advances.
Together, these tracks represent the core themes of the workshop and outline the scope of discussions and presentations that will shape PD2025.
