PIXEL 2000

The Conference Pixel 2000 will last 4 days (June 5-8, 2000) and it will be held at Sala Libeccio, Magazzini del Cotone, Porto Antico (Genova).
Arrival is foreseen on Sunday, June the 4th, departure is foreseen on Friday, June  the 9th.
The Conference will be sponsored by INFN, by the University of Genova and by the Istituto Trentino di Cultura.
The focus of the Conference will be on the status of the art of the pixel detectors in Particle Physics applications.
Enough time will be left to applications in other fields (medicine, biology and astroparticle physics).

Fee:
The Conference fee will be of 300k lire and will include a copy of the proceedings and the social events.

Talks:
The Conference will be organized in 8 sessions of half a day each. The items covered by the conference are:
a) status of the art of pixel detector in particle physics: 1 session
b) development in pixel electronics: 2 sessions
c) development in integration issues (bump bonding, thinning, MCMD): 2 sessions
d) development of (rad-hard) sensors: 1 session
e) pixel detectors in medical/biological applications: 1 session
f) pixel detector for photon detection (RICH, astroparticle physics, etc.): 1 session

Each half-a-day session should begin with an invited talk, aimed at introducing and overviewing the subject of the session, and followed by 5-7 shorter contributions. A call for contributions will be issued soon.
The expected number of participants is around 100.
The Conference proceedings will be published as a special issue of Nuclear Instruments and Methods.
