This is a reminder that TIPP 2011, the
science driven cross-disciplinary conference on
Technology and
Instrumentation in Particle Physics,
Astro-particle Physics and closely related fields, will
be held from
June 9-14 in downtown Chicago. One of the goals of
the conference is to explore innovative solutions in
instrumentation that will further enable our
scientific exploration. As such, all
phases of detector R&D
will be entertained. The
conference will provide a stimulating atmosphere for
scientists and engineers
from around the world. For
more details of the TIPP 2011 program, please visit:

The program will feature,
among others:
o Plenary talks on HEP topics as well as
topics outside of HEP such as
"Extremes of Electronics" by Dr. Kerry
Bernstein from IBM
o A workshop on the
emerging 3D integrated silicon technology with
speaker such as, among others,
Dr. Craig Keast from MIT-Lincoln Laboratory and
Prof. Paul Franzon from NC State University
o An homage to Prof.
Georges Charpak by Prof. Leon Lederman, Prof. Stan
Majewski and Prof. Ioannis Giomataris
o A DPF town meeting
to discuss the future of detector R&D in the US
o Three lecture
courses for younger scientists
o Parallel tracks with talks on disruptive
technologies to challenge your imagination
o A public lecture on
"The Marvel of Technology: the LHC Machine and
Experiments" by Dr. Lynn Evans
We have extended the
abstract submission deadline
to April 15. We encourage contributions that cover
performance results from operational detectors and
instrumentation and, of particular interest, how
current design and technology enhances or limits
physics reach, as well as details about current
R&D activities and future plans. We also look
for new ideas and forward-looking talks on future
opportunities that have the potential to transform
the field.
We are looking forward to
seeing you in Chicago this June!
