Color Code

We have implemented a simple color coding scheme in an effort to provide a guide in the use of this program booklet and to consistently indicate the content of any given section.

The program section is divided by weekday to provide a complete package of sessions for each conference day. Each daily section includes oral, poster, joint, and special sessions and workshops.

The page color for oral and poster session content is reversed for clarity: oral presentation listings are contained in colored pages with the day indicated with a lighter watermark. Poster presentation pages are light color with a darker watermark.

At the beginning of each day, a Daily Schedule is presented to give an overview of the events for the respective day. The Daily Schedule uses lighter shades of the same colors used for each respective program. The colors shown below are used as indicated.

6 Welcome from the General Chair

Welcome from the General Chair

Welcome to the 2011 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical

Imaging Conference, and the Workshop on Room-Temperature Semiconductor X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Detectors that will be held in the beautiful Spanish city of Valencia from October 23rd – 29th. As with previous meetings, this will be a wonderful opportunity to get together with old friends and to make new ones, to exchange ideas and share knowledge and experience in the nuclear science and medical imaging fields.

The meeting will be held at the Valencia Convention Center (designed by Sir Norman Foster) and two adjacent hotels: the Meliá Valencia Palacio Congresos and the Sorolla Palace Hotel. The conference center is located in the northern part of city, with easy access to the airport, and within walking distance of a variety of other hotels in all categories. It is conveniently linked to the city center and the beaches by public transport and I would encourage you to explore the city during your stay in Valencia.

The first IEEE NSS/MIC to be held in Europe took place in Lyon, France to celebrate the millennium in 2000, and since then successful European meetings have been held with a four-year cycle, in Rome (2004) and Dresden (2008). However, such has been the outstanding success of the European meetings that it was decided to hold the fourth meeting again in Europe in 2011, only three years after Dresden. Consequently, an international Organizing Committee has planned a meeting of high scientific level that includes oral and poster presentations, short courses and refresher courses on interesting scientific topics. A commercial exhibition that will showcase state-of-the-art products and services from a wide range of companies will be held in parallel to the scientific sessions.

The city of Valencia is a traditional, average-sized Mediterranean-style Spanish city located on the east coast of Spain. As an attendee you will experience the atmosphere of an historic city that is a fascinating mixture of different cultures and religions, combining history with a unique vision of the future exemplified by the modern architectural area that has become a reference model for urban expansion. Valencia offers a stimulating scientific environment together with a rich cultural heritage of music, art, gastronomy, architecture and folklore. You can enjoy relaxing walks through the parks and streets of this unique city, as well as visiting the museums, aquarium, biopark (zoo) and beaches. Temperatures will be mild and pleasant at this time of

year. A variety of interesting tours are offered so attendees and their companions can experience Valencia and the surrounding region to the full extent.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to invite you to join us for the first ever IEEE NSS/MIC/RTSD to be held in Spain. The meeting is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and colleague Professor Juan Antonio Rubio, and I very much look forward to welcoming you to Valencia in October 2011.

8 In Memoriam

In Memoriam

Juan Antonio Rubio began his career as an intern of the former JEN (Spanish Nuclear Energy Council) in 1965. He continued his training at CERN in 1968. In the early days of democracy in Spain, he was appointed Head of the Nuclear Physics and Elementary Particle Division of the JEN. His experience enabled him to join one of the most exciting experiments at the time – the MARKJ in DESY under the direction of Nobel Prize winner Samuel C. C. Ting. In 1983 he was appointed Director of Basic Research and later Scientific Director at JEN. From this position, he promoted diversification of the Center, which ultimately became CIEMAT (Center for Reseach on Energy, Environment and Technology), to perform research in technological fields other than nuclear power, such as renewable energies, magnetic confinement fusion, environment, and information technologies. It was at this time that his Group joined the proposal for the L3 experiment at the LEP particle accelerator at CERN. In 1987, he joined CERN as a senior researcher, CERN Group leader for L3 and Scientific Advisor to the then Director General and Nobel Prize winner, Prof. Carlo Rubbia. He contributed to the original program of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), was appointed coordinator of CERN for Latin America, and continued to take part in the L3 experiment.

As Head of the CERN Education and Technology Transfer Division during the period when Prof. L. Maiani was Director General, he promoted multiple Outreach and Technology Transfer programs, which contributed to producing technological applications from results of CERN research into basic sciences. His personal dedication was decisive in intensifying and consolidating relations with developing countries, particularly those in Latin America. He was Vice President of two national companies, ENUSA and

In Memoriam 9

ENRESA, was an “ad personam” member of the STC (Scientific and Technical Committee) of EURATOM, the AGE (Advisory Group on Energy) of the European Commission, and founding member of EERA (European Energy Research Alliance). In 2001, he was honoured by His Majesty the King of Spain with the distinction of the ”Encomienda de la orden del Mérito Civil” in recognition of his scientific and technical carreer as well as his contribution to the international presence of Spain. In June 2009, he received the Jaime-I Award in the area of New Technologies.

More recently, as the Director General of CIEMAT he promoted the development of Medical Imaging research, reallocating resources from related technologies such as solid-state radiation detectors, integrated electronics, Monte Carlo simulation and accelerators to medical imaging. To emphasize his growing interest in medical imaging, he was a major proponent of holding an IEEE NSS MIC conference in Spain and successfully secured the 2011 meeting for Valencia. Sadly, he passed away in January 2010 before he could enjoy the fruits of his IEEE success. In honor of our dear friend and colleague Juan Antonio, the 2011 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference is dedicated to his memory, in deep appreciation for his personal interest and lasting support for this meeting.

16 Companion Program

Companion Program“¡Una cálida bienvenida a Valencia!”

(“A warm welcome to Valencia!”)Located on the Mediterranean coast, Valencia offers a unique cultural identity. Valencia is not just another Spanish city. It has always considered itself a state within a state, it has held on to its own unique traditions and they are still very much alive in the 21st century. Valencia has a totally stunning and compact old town center, packed with gorgeous buildings, historic sights, squares, gardens, museums, and charming little streets. It is a total delight to get lost in it while soaking up the atmosphere. The Historic Center (Old Town) bears the marks of 2000 years in a spectacular mix of Roman, Muslim and Christian civilizations. But it doesn’t end there - walking through Valencia you will see ultra-modern, breath-taking, futuristic architecture contrasting with the gothic, baroque and classical. Valencia is also a beach city. While you have many sights and culture to fill your leisure time to the limit, you can always just drop down to the beach and relax under the sun.The Companion Program provides a daily selection of guided excursions to places of interest both within and outside of the city. All tours will depart from and return to the Companion Program Meeting Area in the Valencia Convention Center. This meeting area will be available as a lounge for all registered companions to gather during the conference. Information about the Valencia area will also be available for individuals and families to plan trips and excursions other than those offered in the Companion Program. This is an exciting program, and we look forward to seeing you in Valencia. Please contact any of us for more information.

T1 -The Caves of San Jose in Vall d’Uixo/Sagunto-Roman CitySunday, October 23 – 09:00 to 13:30

Thursday, October 27 – 14:30 to 18:30 Cost: € 55

This half day excursion will take us 45 km north of Valencia near the town of Vall d’Uixó where we will visit the caves of San José, a spectacular natural cave that can be visited by boat along one of the longest underground river courses in Europe. We will then travel a little to the south to the modern fertile district of Camp De Moveredre to the ancient city of Sagunto. Historically known as Saguntum or later Morvedre, Sagunto was an ally of Rome when it was besieged and captured by the Carthaginians under Hannibal and later captured by Rome in 214 BC and made a Municipium. An important prosperous city, Sagunto was later ruled by Visigoths, and in the eighth century became part of the Caliphate of Cordoba where it remained under the Muslim Arab rule for over five hundred years when James I of Aragon conquered it in 1238. Our guided tour will start in the historic center to understand the influence and heritage of its different cultures. We will then climb to the Roman fortification built on top of the hill to see the existing Roman theater and the castle with its picturesque walled ramparts of Roman and Moorish origin. This half day tour is rated as a moderate activity, and good walking shoes are recommended. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, and boat and museum tickets. Lunch is not included.

T2 - Valencian Port Sports City & Catamaran Boat CruiseSunday, October 23 – 14:30 to 18:30

Cost: € 50

This half day excursion will take us around the port of Valencia and the Malvarrosa beaches and culminate with a one hour catamaran boat trip sailing the Port waters of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. The tour will allow us to discover a modern port, which has undergone a massive change in the last few years, primarily due to the fact that since 2007, Valencia has hosted two of the world’s biggest sporting events: the America’s Cup and the Formula 1 (F1) motorcar race. Valencia hosted the F1 competition in 2009 and 2010 on the Valencia Street Circuit and is framed by the Grao area which passes through the inner docks of the port, the port and the old bed of the Turia River.Valencia is blessed with special natural characteristics and with the local climatology making the Gulf of Valencia an excellent course for regattas. Thanks to these conditions, the city became the first European city to host the America’s Cup in the event’s 150+ year history. The America’s Cup is an international sailing competition, a challenge between two boats in which there is only one winner. We will enjoy the panoramic views from the Veles e Vents balcony, a modern building designed for the 2007 America’s Cup and conclude the tour with a one hour ‘catamaran’ boat trip, sailing the Port waters of the Mediterranean Sea.The tour is rated as an easy activity. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, and catamaran tickets. Lunch is not included.


T3 - Valencian Port Panoramic/Lladró TourMonday, October 24 – 09:00 to 13:30

Cost: € 35

This half day excursion tour will begin with a tour to the “City of Porcelain” where the famous Lladró porcelain pieces are made. Thousands of people worldwide collect Lladró, and it would be difficult to walk along the streets of any Spanish town without seeing a few pieces for sale. This beautiful and hand painted Spanish porcelain with its delicate colors is truly one of Spain’s great success stories. Our guided tour will allow us to visit a production line at the factory as well as an opportunity to visit the Museum Boutique, one of the largest Lladró Boutiques in the world. After the Lladrò tour, we will visit the Valencia Port. A panoramic tour will show us the modern port, which has undergone a massive change in the last few years, primarily due to the fact that since 2007, Valencia has hosted two of the world’s biggest sporting events: the America’s Cup and the Formula 1 motorcar race.Valencia is blessed with special natural characteristics and with the local climate making the Gulf of Valencia an excellent course for regattas. Thanks to these conditions, the city became the first European city to host the America’s Cup in the event’s 150+ year history. The America’s Cup is an international sailing competition, a challenge between two boats in which there is only one winner. Today, after 159 years of history, the continued success of the event is based on three key factors: teamwork, strategy and technology. We will enjoy the panoramic views from the Veles e Vents balcony, a modern building designed for the 2007 America’s Cup. The tour guide will provide general information regarding the sports events.

This half day tour will give us insight into the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia. The City of Arts and Sciences is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city situated at the end of the old riverbed Turia. A bypass of the Turia river began after the great flood of Valencia in 1957 and the Turia riverbed became a park and garden in 1980.Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the City of Arts and Sciences was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L’Hemisferic. Today the complex includes the Hemisferic, the Sciences Museum, the Umbracle gardens, the Opera House, and the Oceanographic, the largest aquarium in Europe. We will take a stroll among these amazing structures and learn more about the building of this stunning architecture. We will then visit the Oceanographic with its 45,000 living creatures from 500 different species represented in the planet’s main marine ecosystems. Our guide will lead us through


the different buildings housing examples of ecosystems from the Mediterranean, Wetlands, Temperate and Tropical, Antarctic, Arctic, and Delfinarium.The tour is rated as an easy activity. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, and Oceanographic tickets. Lunch is not included.

T5 - Old Town ValenciaTuesday, October 25 – 09:00 to 13:30 Thursday, October 27 – 09:00 to 13:30

Cost: € 40

Valencia has been the home of many cultures. Founded by the Romans, the Visigoths, Moors, and the Aragonese have all made the city an important cultural and historical center. Valencian architecture is very rich and combines gothic, modernism, and baroque styles.Our half day walking tour will begin at the Serrano Towers, main doorway of the medieval walls that once protected the city. We will learn about the origins of Valencia and see some of the most representative monuments in the historical city center including:• The Cathedral of Valencia with its various architectural styles

from the romanesque to the baroque. Inside, we will discover the fresco paintings above the main altar, the magnificient dome, and the Holy Grail Chapel that contains an agate cup which is said to be the chalice used by Jesus during the last supper.

• The Palacio de la Generalitat constitutes a fabulous example of the gothic architecture in Valencia.

• The Basilica of the Holy Mary of the Forsaken dedicated to the patron saint of Valencia was built in the 17th century by Diego Martínez Ponce de Urrana in the Baroque style.

• The Lonja (the Silk Exchange), one of the most famous civil gothic monuments in Europe built in 1493 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• The Central Market, one of the largest food markets in Europe.The visit will end at one of the most photographed places in the city: the spectacular baroque style façade of the Marqués de Dos Aguas Palace. The tour is rated as an easy activity, but good walking shoes are recommended. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, and museum tickets. Lunch is not included.


T6 - Valencian PalacesTuesday, October 25 – 14:30 to 18:30 Friday, October 28 – 14:30 to 18:30

Cost: € 40

This half day walking tour will take us across the old city grounds of Valencia discovering some of the former palaces that allow us to imagine the old lifestyle in Valencia. We will pass many Gothic-style buildings and palaces of the Historic Center of Valencia during the tour.The Palacio de Benicarló was built in the late fifteenth century as the residence of the family of the Borgia, Duke of Gandia, on the site of a previous building which was a Grammar and Art School (1408). Since then, there have been many renovations of the palace, though it retains its Gothic portal. Nowadays it is the headquarters of the Valencian Parliament. The construction of the Palacio de la Generalitat dates back to 1421 as the seat of the Generalitat Valenciana and Provincial General. The central body of the building is in late Gothic style. Today, its three floors serve as private palaces of the city. The Palacio de los Boil, owned by the Marquis of Scala, assimilates and repeats the patterns of the typical gothic mansion, with a few later additions in the renaissance style. The building is made up of two distinct constructions with two main entrances and two courtyards which are joined by a stairway that runs below an oval-shaped dome. We will visit the old Gothic building of the Palacio del Marques de dos Aguas, constructed by the family of Perellós Rabassa and now a historical-artistic monument. Today, it is the National Museum of pottery. Finally, we will visit the façade of the Gothic medieval Palace del Almirante, the most important private architecture in the Gothic style that remains in Valencia.This half day walking tour is rated as an easy activity. Good walking shoes are recommended. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, and museum tickets. Lunch is not included.

T7 - Peñiscola, a Legendary TownWednesday, October 26 – 08:30 to 18:30

Saturday, October 29 – 08:30 to 18:30 Cost: € 60

This full day excursion will take us back in time to the Renaissance Middle Ages. We will travel 145 km (approx. 90 miles) north of Valencia to visit the small fishing village of Peñíscola, a jewel in the crown of the beautiful coast of eastern Spain. Peñíscola consists of a mix of old and new with the fortified old quarters rising out of the sea to form almost an island of incredible beauty. On the highest part of the outcrop of rock stands the castle: a watchtower and impregnable fortress surrounded by the city walls that were built over different periods to protect the old city. The medieval fortifications of the south and east faces were built between the 13th and 15th centuries. Just up from Saint Peter’s Gate is the Fountain’s Wall (Muralla de la Fuente), which comes to an end at Saint Anne’s battery (Batería de Santa Ana). The Renaissance fortification was planned by J.B. Antonelli and built in the 16th century. It was an ambitious project that took in the Artillery Store and Saint Peter’s Gate, but it could not be finished. An ornamental cordon runs the length of the masonry


walls, and watchtowers at each corner make Peñíscola an impregnable crag of rock, which is unique and has an unusual beauty. The Renaissance style is widespread throughout the city. We will visit the Dark Gate (Portal Fosc), the main entrance to the city until the 18th century and The Artillery Store, and the third gate to the city, Saint Mary’s Gate, which was built in 1754 by order of Ferdinand VI to improve access to the city. Inside the gate is Les Escaseres Square, next to the Saint Anne’s chapel. A visit to this less known chapel (which dates back to 1827 and is of great historical interest) is a must when strolling through the narrow streets of the old city.This full day tour is rated a strenuous activity and good walking shoes are a must. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, museum tickets and a box lunch.

T8 - IVAM and Museum of Fine Arts San Pio VWednesday, October 26 – 14:30 to 18:30

Cost: € 40

This half day excursion will include visits to two important art museums in Valancia. The IVAM (Contemporary Valencian Art Institute) is a new building with galleries designed for permanent and temporary exhibitions. The exhibitions are mainly focused on the evolutionary process of Art, from the classical vanguard crisis right up to the seventies. The Julio González and Pinazo collections are on permanent display. There is also a display that includes parts of the medieval Valencian city wall that was destroyed over 100 years ago.We will also visit the Museum of Fine Arts San Pio V, the second most important art collection in Spain. This huge museum is filled with works from 14th century to the 20th century. The museum is largely dominated by 13th-15th century iconography and the golden age of 17th century Baroque, but there are also works from the Rennaissance and the 18th-19th century movements. You will find, among others, Ribaltas, El Greco, van Dyck, Bosch, Velazquez and Goya. The museum also shows some Sorollas masterpieces, the most representative Valencian painter of the late 19th Century. There are also many archeological items on display.The historical building that houses the museum was originally the San Pío Seminary College, founded in 1683 by Brother Juan Tomás de Rocabertí, the Archbishop of Valencia. The building has been used for several different purposes: A Military Cadet Academy, a Charity Center, an army supplies storehouse and a Military Hospital until


1946 when it was chosen to be used for the Museum of Fine Arts.The tour is rated as an easy activity. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, and museum tickets. Lunch is not included.

T9 - Lladró Museum/Albufera Nature Reserve with Paella TastingFriday, October 28 – 09:00 to 18:00

Cost: € 75

This full day tour will begin with a tour to the “City of Porcelain” where the famous Lladró porcelain pieces are made. Thousands of people worldwide collect Lladró, and it would be difficult to walk along the streets of any Spanish town without seeing a few pieces for sale. This beautiful Spanish porcelain with its delicate colors, every single piece hand painted, is truly one of Spain’s great success stories. Our guided tour will allow us to visit a production line at the Lladró factory as well as an opportunity to visit the Museum Boutique, one of the largest Lladró Boutiques in the world.We will then travel to the fishing village of El Palmar where we will enjoy a Valencian paella for lunch. El Palmar is located in the Albufera Nature Reserve, an important stopover point for migratory birds and a nesting area for resident birds. After lunch we will sail the main lake in a typical fishing boat to observe the manner in which the local people follow fishing traditions established some 750 years ago and the unique configuration of rice fields and agricultural plots divided by canals and linked by small, narrow bridges. This full day tour is rated as an easy activity. The tour includes shuttle service, tourist guide, museum/excursion tickets and the paella lunch.

The Guest Editor will be available in the Organizers Room #1, VCC, during the coffee breaks on Tuesday to Friday to discuss any issues related to the Conference Record.

Transactions on Nuclear Science (TNS)

Additionally, papers presented at the conference that contain important information of lasting value may be submitted for review and publication in the Transactions on Nuclear Science (TNS). The TNS is a premier peer-reviewed journal with a significant distribution within the nuclear science and medical imaging communities. TNS is not the conference record, and only those papers that pass the review process and are in the fields of interest to TNS will be published. Prospective authors should consult the TNS page at www.ieee.org for a description of the publication. TNS discourages the submission of progress reports and manuscripts that are more suitable for distribution as an institution’s internal document. We expect each manuscript to be cast in the context of the state of the art of its field (including appropriate motivation for the work), present a complete description of the work performed, and present a set of conclusions supported by the measured and/or calculated data. The paper should be sufficiently complete that others with comparable equipment could repeat the work.Authors submitting to TNS should expect to be solicited to serve as reviewers of other papers. Please accept as many solicitations as you are able to handle and remember to return your reviews in a timely fashion. TNS tries to find at least two reviewers for each paper, and the speed of the review process ultimately depends on your cooperation. TNS relies on this most important professional service you, the authors, provide to the community.TNS is published throughout the year, and you can submit your manuscript to TNS at any time. For instructions on TNS manuscript submissions, please visit the IEEE’s on-line peer review system ScholarOne Manuscripts™ (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tns-ieee). TNS suggests that authors limit their papers to 8 pages, but that limit is quite flexible and exceptions can be made.For further information regarding the Transactions on Nuclear Science, contact:

Comparison of Requirements

The value of the Conference Record is increased by the immediate and timely release of the information, which excludes the possibility of peer- review for manuscript content. It is possible that a similar (or even the same) article can be submitted to both the Conference Record and the TNS. However, the authors must keep in mind that the content of the articles designated for TNS publication must meet the level of scrutiny by scientific review and publication is not guaranteed for the TNS submission. The CR and TNS are two separate publications. Submission to one does not imply submission to the other.

Course Description:This one-day course provides an introduction to the design and the use of instruments for the detection of energetic subatomic particles. Emphasis is on the fundamental processes that govern the operation of such detectors, rather than on operational details of specific instruments. The class begins with a brief overview of the interactions of energetic subatomic particles in matter. Nearly all detectors are either based on the use of ionisation in gases, on the use of ionisation in semiconductor materials, or on the use of scintillation light; and this classification is used to structure the course. Examples of applications of these detectors in particle physics, in nuclear physics, in homeland security, and medical imaging will be given.There are no prerequisites for attending this course other than the standard physics and mathematics that is part of any curriculum in physics or engineering. A copy of the textbook, “Experimental techniques in nuclear and particle physics” by S. Tavernier, as well as a set of copies of the presentations, are provided to the registrants.Course Outline: • Interactions of energetic subatomic particles in matter • Detectors based on ionisation in gases • Detectors based on ionisation in semiconductors • Detectors based on scintillation • Electronics and noise Instructors:STEFAAN TAVERNIER is professor of physics at the faculty of sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, served as head of the physics department for 5 years, and was chairmen of the Research board for Science and Applied science for 5 years.

Special Focus Workshops

Workshop on 3He Alternatives for Neutron DetectionFriday, October 28, 08:30-18:30,

Meliá Valencia Palacio Congresos Hotel, Valentia B&C

Organizers: Ralf Engels, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, GermanyRichard Kouzes, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA

This workshop will focus on neutron detection methods and technologies for science and applications in the age of a diminishing supply of 3He. One of the main uses for 3He is in gas proportional counters for neutron detection, which are applied to homeland security, non-proliferation, neutron scattering science, commercial instruments, and well-logging detectors. It is also used in dilution refrigerators, targets or target cooling in research, and for basic research in condensed matter physics. Due to the large increase in the applications named above, the supply can no longer meet the demand and the 3He supply is dwindling. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of the state of the art of neutron detection and the issues surrounding the current shortage of 3He. The workshop will cover the progress achieved in the areas described by the following keywords:• The 3He supply limitations and possible supplies • Alternative neutron detector technology • Neutron detection for homeland security • Neutron detection for neutron scattering science • Neutron detection for medicine • Neutron detection for petroleum and gas exploration

5th Workshop on ATCA and MicroTCA for PhysicsSaturday October 22 & Sunday, October 23,

Meliá Valencia Palacio Congresos Hotel, Valentia B&C

Organizers: Javier Bermejo, ESS Bilbao, SpainRay Larsen, SLAC, USA

The original motivation for interest in the new telecom xTCA standards stemmed from studies for large high energy accelerator controls and detector systems. The main attraction was to achieve very high availability for very large systems which studies demonstrated would be necessary for acceptable up-time. However such systems also would bring many advantages to any large system, including an architecture that accommodates state-of-the-art multi-gigabit serial rather than parallel bus backplane inter-module communication. In November 2008 at the 2nd xTCA for Physics Workshop in Dresden an ad hoc committee from several major physics labs agreed to accept an invitation to join the PICMG open standards consortium to develop xTCA for physics extensions to the existing PICMG standards. Work began in May-June 2009 and in 2011 has now produced important new IO, timing, and intelligent platform management standards for two hardware extensions, one for ATCA and one for MicroTCA; a guideline document for precise timing distribution; and progress toward uniform software architectures and protocols to promote greater design uniformity and interoperability of hardware and software modules developed by both labs and industry. In 2011 key infrastructure support became available from industry and several labs are pursuing implementation programs for both controls and detector applications.The Workshop is under the auspices of IEEE and the Laboratory Members of the PICMG11 xTCA2 for Physics open standards consortium.Outline:Since many potential users are still new to ATCA/µTCA while others are actively designing on the open standard, this workshop has four main components:1. introductory xTCA hardware and software tutorials2. status reports on the new extensions by committee members3. tutorials of hardware and software products by industry and labs4. new application developments in progress by both labs and

industryThe program includes a small industrial exhibit and invited talks by vendors. The preliminary program is given below.Registration:The registration fee, inclusive of a reception on Saturday Oct 22, 18:30-20:00 (Tapas & Drinks) is, by 5 Oct., € 60; after 5 Oct., € 80.Advance registration is required and companions are welcome to the 1 PICMG is the industry open standards group, PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, consisting of 250 companies and the following international physics Laboratories developing xTCA for Physics: CERN, DESY, ELETTRA, FNAL, IHEP, IPFN (Lisbon), ITER, LBNL, and SLAC.2 ATCA is shorthand for ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computer Architecture) and/or MicroTCA, also called µTCA, the packaged mezzanine card standard platform.

This one-day Workshop will take place on Sunday immediately after the annual IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium & Medical Imaging Conference in Valencia, Spain. As in past years since 2002, the overall goals of the proposed events are to convene imaging physicists and engineers as well as chemists, biologists, physicians and students from around the world to discuss important issues related to breast cancer evaluation using functional Molecular Imaging techniques involving nuclear radiotracers, x-rays, and other technologies. Key issues to address are the recent successes and limitations of nuclear imaging approaches (molecular breast imaging/breast specific gamma imaging, PEM, and mammotomography with single gamma and positron emitting tracers) and what steps are required to continue to increase their role in breast cancer detection, diagnostics and management. Thus, in addition to having educational goals, the meeting serves as a venue to understand and suggest solutions to problems associated with incorporating nuclear imaging methods into the clinic for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and staging. The outline of the program, which incorporates suggestions from past convened Workshops, is as follows: 1. Review of the pathology of breast cancer2. Clinical management and imaging of breast cancer 3. New tracers for nuclear imaging4. Review and outlook of the future direction of molecular breast

imaging5. Interventional molecular imaging6. Latest developments in non-ionizing (e.g. optical or ultrasound)

breast imaging approachesWhile there is a logically progressive and structured format, the setting is meant to be informal, with the morning portion of the Workshop devoted to discussion and interaction between the audience members and invited didactic presenters. There will be a competition for student travel awards to promote education/training in this field. This Workshop will provide the latest research information and lively interaction and discussions.Registration:The registration fee by 5 Oct. of € 110 includes all meals, breaks and handouts.Student Support:Provided adequate external funding, there will be student/post-doc travel awards available on a competitive basis, based on the relevance


and quality of abstract(s) submitted to the regular IEEE NSS/MIC Conference. Further details may be found on the 2011 IEEE NSS-MIC website.Preliminary Program:

Since these brief statements are meant to set the pace for peer-to-peer discussions among the participants, a lot of time will be reserved for this.Over the past years, the GOLD reception at NSS-MIC has proven to foster direct contact between young professionals and colleagues at the zenith of their careers. So, if you are an IEEE GOLD member or have joined our society right here in Valencia, you are cordially invited to participate. It is up to you to profit from the opportunities the GOLD reception offers. I look forward to welcoming you.

Special Women in Engineering (WIE) Session: Contribution of Women Scientists to Nuclear Science and Medical Imaging

Thursday, October 27,18:30-20:00, Sorolla Palace Hotel, Arenas & Perellonet Rooms

Organizers: Jane Lehr, Sandia National Laboratories, USAMaría J. Ledesma-Carbayo, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain

We are pleased to welcome you to the Women in Engineering (WIE) Session, a special session to provide an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas and experiences in an informal setting. The special session will address the theme of women’s contributions to nuclear science and medical imaging by presenting encouraging examples from the IEEE NSS and MIC. The session has the following goals:

Christoph Ilgner

Special Events 51

• encouraging young ladies to choose science and engineering as a career

• how to improve the progression of women in order to minimize the movement of women out of these fields

• how to overcome barriers for the advancement of women already working in science and engineering

• how to combine a career with personal life

Several speakers with outstanding careers in scientific laboratories, industry, and government have been invited to give brief summaries on what they have done to get where they are today and how they have addressed the incorporation of women in their teams. These women and men are role models for generations to come. There will be keynote presentations, followed by a panel discussion on the session issues, which are of importance not only to the society of women in science and engineering but to the general public as well. Students who are beginning their careers in these areas will be invited to participate in the panel discussion. We hope that the WIE Session will help foster efforts to counter a worrisome trend that has been recently noticed in European countries: the more developed the country is and the richer the society is, the fewer women there are in S&E. We cannot afford to lose these talented women and we encourage all members of the IEEE NSS & MIC community to attend.Details about the WIE Session can be found on the website: http://www. nss-mic.org/2011/ under Special Focus Workshops

52 NSS Introduction

Nuclear Science Symposium - NSSThe Nuclear Science Symposium has become year after year a reference international event in the domain of radiation instrumentation. It offers an outstanding opportunity for scientists and engineers interested in, or actively working in the fields of nuclear science, high energy physics, radiation instrumentation and related software for different applications, to meet and discuss with colleagues from around the world. The program emphasizes the latest developments in technology and radiation instrumentation and their implementation in experiments for particle physics, biomedical sciences, homeland security, space, accelerators, and other radiation environments. The NSS program consists of plenary, parallel, and poster sessions, with a number of joint sessions with the Medical Imaging conference (MIC) as well as with the Room-Temperature Semiconductor Detector workshop (RTSD). Particular attention will be given this year to multi-disciplinarity and cross-fertilization between closely related domains. For this purpose the large number of topics usually proposed (20 or even more) are regrouped in 5 main sectors:• Detection components• Front End, DAQ, Trigger electronics• Software and Computing• Detectors/Intrumentation (small systems)• Large detection systemsEach sector is placed under the supervision of 2 topic conveners, who will organize the sessions in such a way as to avoid as much as possible conflicts of interest and promote interactions between different subtopics.This year the NSS luncheon, in Meliá Valencia Palacio Congresos Hotel, Rooms A&B, will include the talk from D. Manuel Toharia, director of the Science Museum at Valencia, a recognized expert in science divulgation, that is specially important in the perception of general public about nuclear science and technology.Posters are organized following the same approach with five two-hours dedicated poster sessions not overlapping the corresponding oral sessions on the same subject. However each poster will stay on the board 2.5 day to allow individual viewing.In the same spirit the oral and poster sessions addressing the solid-state detector topics are organized in close collaboration with the RTSD program chair and co-chair.Educational Short Courses are organized focusing on topics of interest for the scientific community. They will offer the opportunity for very detailed presentations and discussions by renowned experts in the corresponding fields.

NSS Introduction 53

We have also introduced 3 refresher courses to allow students to be up-to-date on the following generic subjects: Geant4, Gaseous detectors, and Neutron detection.We have tried also to restrict the number of parallel workshops allowing only emerging fields, which are not yet addressed in the NSS topics and where a community needs to be organized. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the authors for the excellent scientific contributions to the NSS conference this year, and also all the people who have been working so hard to prepare this event, and in particular the large number of reviewers as well as the topic conveners.We hope the 2011 NSS conference will be a memorable event for all of you, both scientifically and socially, and we are looking forward to seeing you in Valencia in October 2011.

Gumilyov-University, AstanaHonorary Doctor of the National Academy of Science of the Kyrgyz RepublicHonorary Professor of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Republic of Kazakhstan2008 NDE Lifetime Achievement Award SPIE, US Abstract:On March 11, 2011 one of the most severe natural catastrophes in the history of Japan caused inconceivable human grief and sorrow and destroyed parts of the infrastructure of one of the most developed high-technology countries. The Tsunami following the earthquake resulted in the disastrous incident at the Fukushima Daichii I-IV nuclear power plant. We feel the disappointment and sympathize with the Japanese people. In consequence, we have to take responsibility as nuclear engineering and peaceful use of nuclear power is a result of the global state of engineering and international regulations.Meanwhile, experts understand the reasons that lead to the nuclear disaster. This talk covers the technical and design-related facts and what we have learned to improve the design and management structure. However, the technical analysis is only one of the lessons to be learned in view of the world-wide reframed perception on the usage of nuclear energy. The future will show whether we will have learned the right lessons for the appropriate use of human knowledge and engineering to master these global challenges.

NP2-1: Exploring Nature Moments after the Big Bang at the LHCTejinder S. Virdee

Imperial College, London,UKMonday, October 24, 10:30-11:10, VCC, Auditorium 1

Biography:Tejinder (Jim) Virdee is Professor of Physics at Imperial College, London. He did his graduate studies at Imperial College on an experiment conducted at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre, Stanford. He has worked on an experiment studying deep inelastic Compton scattering of photons off of quarks and then on the UA1 proton-antiproton collider experiment both at CERN. The UA1 experiment discovered the W and Z bosons. After the termination

56 NSS Plenary

of UA1 (1990), Dr. Virdee concentrated on the physics of, and experimentation at, the next generation of hadron colliders. He is one of the founding members of the Compact Muon Solenoid Collaboration (CMS) at CERN-LHC. Dr. Virdee has played a major role in all phases of the experiment. These phases have lasted around 20 years and include the formation of CMS, the definition of the physics goals, checking performance against benchmark physics reactions, detector R&D, detector prototyping, construction and installation, commissioning, data-taking and the start of the extraction of science. He poineered some of the techniques used in its calorimeters, crucial for the measurement of the energies of electrons, photons and jets. Dr. Virdee was the Spokesperson (leader) of the CMS Collaboration for three years, between 2007 to 2009, and was the Deputy Spokesperson of CMS from 1993 to 2006. Dr. Virdee’s current work involves analysis of data to search for new physics including the Higgs boson, and to consider the improvements necessary to keep the CMS experiment operating over the next two decades, at rates of proton-proton collisions some ten times higher than anticipated in the original design.Dr. Virdee was awarded the 2009 James Chadwick Medal and Prize of the U. K. Institute of Physics for his crucial role in the design and construction of CMS.

Abstract:The Large Hadron Collider project, comprising the accelerator and the experiments, aims is to tackle some of the most fundamental questions about the origin, evolution and composition of our universe. Potential discoveries include new forms of matter, new forces of nature, new dimensions of space and time. Particular questions to be addressed include: what is the origin of mass, what constitutes dark matter, why is the universe composed of matter, not antimatter, and more. The discoveries have the potential to alter our perception of how Nature operates at the fundamental level.In 2010 the LHC accelerator collided protons and lead ions at unprecedented high energies. Outstanding progress was made in operating the accelerator with very good performance. Continued good progress in 2011 has seen the proton-proton interaction rate increase to about 100 million per second.All the LHC experiments also performed very well, close to their desired and ambitious design performance set down some fifteen years ago. Physics measurements are confronting, more and more precisely, the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics, whilst looking for new physics. The LHC experiments are designed to operate in a very harsh

environment created by hundreds of billions of particles produced every second, and to register with high accuracy the passage and energies of all these particles, thus demanding huge data collection, transfer and processing rates on a scale greater than ever previously attempted. The two large LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, each comprise over 3500 scientists and engineers from around 170 institutions in around 40 countries. The talk will briefly recall the physics of the LHC, outline some of the challenges faced during construction, the operation and the performance, the first physics results from the experiments, and the outlook. The talk will also touch upon the societal impact of fundamental research, CERN and the LHC.

NP2-2: Heavy Ions at the LHCPaolo Giubellino

CERN and INFN Torino, ItalyMonday, October 24, 11:10-11:50, VCC, Auditorium 1

Biography:Paolo Giubellino, after his studies at Torino University and University of California, Santa Cruz, has dedicated most of his scientific life to the Physics of High-Energy Heavy-Ion collisions, first in HELIOS, then in NA50 and finally in ALICE. He has been in ALICE from the very first feasibility studies, and has later carried a number of responsibilities in the experiment, including Project Leader for the Inner Tracking System, Chair of Conference Committee, Upgrade Coordinator and, for the past six years, Deputy Spokesperson. Since Jan 1st, 2011, he is the Spokesperson of the ALICE Collaboration. He has been active in the development of silicon detectors and is a member of the ICFA Instrumentation Panel. He has served in many scientific committees and panels and is currently Chair of the G-PAC of GSI and member of the Conseil Scientifique of IN2P3. He also chaired the working group charged of writing the Phase Transitions chapter of the NUPECC Long-Term Plan. Author of over 300 scientific papers, he has been awarded the Medal of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and the Medal of the Particles and Fields section of the Mexican Physical Society. He is based at both INFN Torino and CERN.

Abstract:In November 2010, three LHC experiments, ALICE, ATLAS and CMS, took first Pb-Pb data at the unprecedented centre of mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV, a jump of a factor 13 over the highest energies ever achieved with nuclear beams. Both the CERN

accelerator complex and the experiments performed remarkably well, so that important scientific results could be obtained in a very short time. The talk will cover the experimental challenges of the LHC Heavy Ion program and give an overview of the first physics results obtained, with a special attention given to ALICE, the dedicated Heavy-Ion experiment.

NP2-3: Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays and the Pierre Auger ObservatoryAlan Watson

University of Leeds, UKMonday, October 24, 11:50-12:30, VCC, Auditorium 1

Biography:Alan Watson has worked on high-energy cosmic rays since 1964 when he moved from Edinburgh to join the shower-group at the University of Leeds, UK, to help construct the 12 km2 air-shower array at Haverah Park. He became head of the group in 1976. While his primary interests have been in the study of charged cosmic rays above 1017 eV, he has also done some gamma-ray astronomy. Together with a team from the Bartol Institute of the University of Delaware, he was involved in a search, made from the South Pole, for gamma-rays of ~1014 eV from SN1987A. During this period the first coincidences between a shower detector and muons observed in the AMANDA instrument were recorded: this served as a prototype for the IceTop/IceCube configuration now in operation. In 1994 he spent time at the Whipple Observatory in Arizona and helped in the discovery of flared-emission at ~ 1 TeV of gamma-rays from Markarian 421. In 1991, with Jim Cronin (Chicago), he started the processes that led to creation of the Pierre Auger Observatory and is currently interested in using data obtained with it to determine the mass composition of the highest-energy cosmic rays. He is emeritus spokesperson of the Pierre Auger Observatory and an emeritus professor at the University of Leeds. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Abstract:I will explain why cosmic rays of energies above 1019 eV, the most energetic particles in Nature, are of interest to astrophysicists and particle physicists. While the former can use them to probe the galactic and intergalactic magnetic fields and to learn something of the workings of active galactic nuclei, the particles give the latter the opportunity to gain information about limited features of hadronic interactions at centre-of-mass energies up to 30 times above what is accessible at the LHC.The Pierre Auger Observatory was constructed to measure the

properties of the highest-energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision and statistical accuracy. I will describe how it operates and discuss the impact of the most recent results on our understanding of the nature and origin of the particles above 1018 eV. Inferences drawn from the data on the p-air cross section at a centre-of-mass energy of 57 TeV and on the number of muons found in air-showers, which are greater than predicted using models of hadronic interactions defined by Tevatron and LHC data, will be presented.

Climate change: myth and realityManuel Toaria Cortès

City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, SpainMonday, October 24, 12:30-14:30

Meliá Valencia Palacio Congresos Hotel, Valentia A&B&C

Biography:Manuel Toharia was born in Madrid on August the 3rd, 1944. He got the French and Spanish bachelor’s degree in the “Lycée Français de Madrid” and afterwards he became a Physicist in the special field of the cosmos physics by the University Complutense of Madrid.He has been a public official at the National Institute of Meteorology from 1969 to 1975 and started at the same time his activity in journalism and scientific dissemination as an editor of the newspaper “Informaciones” and as a redactor for the science information services of the Spanish public TV, TVE. Since 1979 he has guided and presented several cultural and scientific related programmes in the Spanish public TV.He has been a scientific editor for the newspaper “El País”, he has launched the magazine “Muy Interesante” and has founded the scientific journal “Conocer”. Afterwards he has been working as a TV producer for several scientific related videofilms and programmes, and he has designed and developed several exhibits for science, technology and environment hands-on museums.He has published 35 scientific dissemination books and he has been recognized with several rewards, one of them is the outstanding journalism award by the Scientific Investigation Council of Spain.He has been the Director of the Interactive Science Museum ACCIONA and then the director of the Science Museum of the Foundation LA CAIXA, in Madrid. Since January 2000 he has been the Scientific Director of the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, and was elected president of the Spanish Association of Science Communication in spring 2005.

Abstract:Every negative atmospheric phenomena - extreme temperatures, heavy rains, tropical cyclones, persistent drought, icy weather, etc. - is nowadays attributed to climate change, in such a way that the scientific forecasts are, according to public media, announcing an apocaliptic future. The political leaders are so convinced of this, that they claim we are facing the worst threat to human society in this century. Does it mean that this problem is more serious than the

NSS Plenary 61

actual fact of a thousand million people dying because of starvation in the world? Is this of higher concern than the thousands of nuclear weapons stored at military arsenals by the most powerful countries in the world? Even more grave than the fanatical, blind, international, suicidal and non-rational uncontrollable terrorism? Human beings are not making relevant efforts to avoid these dramas, in fact we ignore them. Climate change, on the other hand, is certainly a famous myth but also a reality difficult to ignore, because it has appeared as a scientific warning related to the development consequences of rich countries, and also from poor countries that want to become rich. It is not an immediate or short term warning, but requires reflexive and preventive, rather than paliative, actions, in an attempt to get an alternative scenario better than the existing forecast. Concerning global warming, we already know some facts, although we still ignore many more, and we are probably excessively fearful, but also doing very little to correct our previous behaviour.

Gas Detectors Refresher CourseFabio Sauli

TERA Foundation and CERN, SwitzerlandMonday October 24, 07:30-08:30,

Meliá Valencia Palacio de Congresos Hotel, Meeting 1&2&3

Since the introduction of multiwire chambers in the late sixties, gaseous detectors have been and are used in a variety of configurations and sizes in most experiments in physics and other fields. To cope with the increasingly stringent requirements of modern applications, both in terms of tracking accuracy and rate capability, new generations of devices have emerged, generally named Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors. In this introduction to the topic, I will briefly summarize the performances and limitations of the classic and improved generations of gaseous detectors, as well as indicate directions of research aimed at solving endemic problems such as rate capability, long term survivability at high radiation levels, energy, and position resolutions.

Neutron Detection Refresher CourseNolan E. Hertel, Ph.D., P.E.

Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USATuesday, October 25, 07:30-08:30,


In recent years neutron detection has been the object of renewed interest largely due to detection needs for homeland security and various other nuclear security/safeguards applications. In many applications, 3He gas detectors were used as thermal neutron detectors and surrounded with moderating material to detect higher energy neutrons. There is now a shortage of 3He for neutron detection applications. As a result, research efforts have been encouraged to find a replacement detection material for 3He. This refresher course will review the basic physics mechanisms by which various energy neutrons are detected. The principal reactions and cross sections for detecting slow, fast and high-energy neutrons will be reviewed. The detector types that have been traditionally used for neutron detection will also be reviewed: namely gas-filled, scintillators, and semiconductor-based detectors. The detector requirements for neutron spectroscopy will be presented along with a short discussion of the deconvolution of pulse-height spectra usually required to obtain a spectrum. Some cursory information on the applications of neutron detectors will be presented and the challenges that must be addressed to provide neutron detection capabilities now of interest. The attendee should keep in mind that this is a refresher course and will not address anything but the fundamentals of neutron detection.

Geant4 Refresher CourseMaria Grazia Pia.

INFN Sezione di Genova and CERN, SwitzerlandWednesday, October 26, 07:30-08:30,


This Refresher Course overviews Geant4 main features, with emphasis on Geant4 physics modeling capabilities and their use in

NSS Refresher Courses 63

Monte Carlo simulation applications.The selection of physics processes and models to be used in a simulation is one of the most critical tasks of Geant4 experimental applications. Geant4 users are invested of the responsibility of configuring the physics of their simulation, since Geant4 does not provide any default physics settings. The configuration of a user application requires in-depth knowledge of Geant4 physics functionality to identify appropriate processes and models, and understanding of their validity to estimate the reliability and accuracy of the simulation resultsThis Geant4 simulation domain is by far the most difficult to master, not only for novice users, but also for more experienced ones, due to its intrinsic complexity and the large number of available options in the toolkit. This Refresher Course reviews Geant4 simulation capabilities and physics modeling options; it summarizes the current status of Geant4 physics validation and provides guidance to deal with Geant4 physics selection in experimental applications.

64 MIC Introduction

Medical Imaging Conference - MICIt is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference in Valencia, Spain. The Valencia Convention Center (VCC) is a wonderful venue for the meeting. Valencia offers a stimulating scientific environment together with a rich cultural heritage of music, art, gastronomy, architecture, and folklore.The success of these meetings is a direct consequence of the many people who volunteer their time and effort. In particular, those of you who accepted to review the large number of submitted abstracts in a timely manner were invaluable to the selection process and we thank you sincerely for your efforts.We would also like to thank the General Chair, David Townsend, who guided us through the whole process. Bo Yu, who managed the conference website and provided the necessary software tools, deserves a special mention for his rapid response to implementing new facilities and to fixing any problems that arose. We also acknowledge the generous support from the sponsors listed in this program book for the training grants that allows younger researchers to attend the meeting each year. This year, we received a total of 764 abstracts and we accepted 684 of them after a rigorous review process. Of the 684 accepted abstracts, 126 have been assigned to 16 MIC oral sessions and to the two joint NSS-MIC and MIC-RTSD sessions and 555 to the MIC poster sessions; 3 accepted posters were withdrawn by the corresponding authors. The joint sessions between NSS, RTSD, and MIC will again be held on Tuesday afternoon. The MIC oral sessions are organized in two parallel sessions, where we have attempted to minimize the overlap between the subject matter in order to avoid conflicts. As last year, we have kept the number of poster sessions to 5 accommodating a total of 555 posters in an effort to reduce the number of posters per session. Although the physical space assigned to the poster sessions had to be split between two locations, we have tried to reduce the inconvenience to the minimum. The Best Student paper competition will be particularly visible to attendees this year. There will be a special oral session devoted to finalists and the selected posters that are finalists will be indicated by a ribbon on the respective poster board.There will be two MIC plenary sessions held on Wednesday. The first session will feature two renowned speakers, Prof. Willi Kalender from Erlangen University who will speak on “Is there still room for research in CT?” and Dr. Cristoph Bert from GSI, who will speak on “New frontiers in particle therapy”. The second plenary session will feature the third keynote speaker, Prof. Anders Brahme from Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University, who will speak on “Optimal use of imaging in radiation therapy”, followed by presentations from

this year’s winners of the Hoffman and Hasegawa Awards and by the recognition of the recipient of the 2011 IEEE Medal for Innovation in Healthcare Technology: Prof. Harry Barrett.We have kept last year primer: the refresher courses to be held before the start of the main scientific sessions each morning on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and covering the basics of Radiotherapy, CT, and PET/MRI imaging, respectively. On Wednesday, just before the opening, there will be an interesting refresher course on the European patent system.There will also be the usual social events at the meeting, including the MIC dinner that will feature a fascinating after-dinner talk from the Spanish architect Luis Fernández-Galiano on “Biology and design: the city as artificial nature”. The prizes for the best student papers will be also given at the MIC dinner.The “5th International Workshop on the Molecular Radiology of Breast Cancer“ will take place on Sunday after the closing of the Medical Imaging Conference. As in past years since 2002, the overall goals of the proposed event are to convene imaging physicists and engineers as well as chemists, biologists, physicians, and students from around the world to discuss important issues related to breast cancer evaluation using functional Molecular Imaging techniques involving nuclear radiotracers, x-rays, and other technologies.Based on the venue and the high scientific quality of the submissions, we anticipate an exciting and stimulating meeting. It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference in Valencia, Spain.

M01-1: Is there still room for research in CT?Willi Kalender

Institute of Medical Physics, Erlangen University, GermanyWednesday, October 26, 09:00–9:45, VCC, Auditorium 1

Biography:Willi A. Kalender was born on August 1, 1949. He received his Master’s Degree and Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, USA in 1979. In 1988 he completed all postdoctoral lecturing qualifications (Habilitation) for Medical Physics at the University of Tübingen, Germany. From 1979 to 1995 Willi A. Kalender worked in the research laboratories of Siemens Medical Systems in

Erlangen, Germany. He was appointed head of the Department of Medical Physics from 1988 to 1995. Since 1992 he has been Visiting Professor of Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin, he was nominated as Distinguished Visiting Professor to the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA. In 1995 he was appointed full Professor and Chairman of the newly established Institute of Medical Physics at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Willi A. Kalender has conducted research mainly in the area of diagnostic imaging. The development and introduction of volumetric spiral computed tomography was a particular focus of his work. Other highly interesting fields of research were radiation protection and the development of quantitative diagnostic procedures, e.g. for the assessment of osteoporosis, lung and cardiac diseases. His work is documented in more than 800 scientific papers with 295 original publications among these, and more than 30 patents. Willi A. Kalender is a Fellow of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine; from 2005 to 2007 he was an elected Member of the Board of Directors of this society. He is member of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurement (ICRU). In 2009 he was awarded an honorary doctorate in Medicine by the Medical Faculty of the RWTH Aachen, Germany. He organized and hosted numerous international workshops and conferences, among them the World Conference of Medical Physics in 2005 in Nuremberg, Germany.

Abstract:X-ray computed tomography (CT) was considered a mature technology as early as the 1980s and was considered dead in the late 1980s due to the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In spite of these predictions CT underwent remarkable developments in

Willi Kalender

technology and applications since then. The state of the art in clinical CT will be reviewed briefly. The speed and the spectrum of the ongoing developments are remarkable. The lecture will primarily focus on the following areas: photon-counting energy-discriminating detectors for CT in general, dedicated scanners beyond clinical CT, special applications such as dual energy CT and breast CT, and efforts at the assessment and reduction of patient dose. There appear to be many topics still for basic and applied research in CT.

M01-2: New frontiers in particle therapyCristoph BertGSI, Germany

Wednesday, October 26, 09:45–10.30, VCC, Auditorium 1

Biography:Christoph Bert is deputy director of the Biophysics Department and leading the group working on moving targets at GSI Helmholtz-Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. He joined GSI after receiving his diploma in physics from the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany in 2002 as a PhD student. Part of the PhD research took place at Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard Medical School) in Boston, USA.

Also after his PhD (2006 from Technical University in Darmstadt, Germany) Dr. Bert remained at GSI to continue research in the direction of particle beam therapy. His PostDoc time included a short term stay at the National Centre for Radiological Sciences in Chiba, Japan. Most of his research is dedicated to translational challenges involving close collaboration with clinical partners and industry.

Abstract:Proton and especially carbon beam radiotherapy were recently established as therapy options in a clinical setting. Especially for scanned beam treatments numerous aspects are still investigated and will be transferred to clinical practice in the next few years. Within the lecture an introduction to the challenge of organ motion will be given. Scanned beam treatment of moving objects results in interference effects that can lead to under-dosage of the tumor. All links of the radiotherapy chain thus have to incorporate the temporal domain. The lecture will focus on: i) 4D treatment planning that has to incorporate the increased radiobiological effect of carbon beams; ii) beam tracking, gating, and rescanning that are investigated as treatment techniques to mitigate the interference effect; and iii) radio-biological validation of the techniques by irradiating cell samples in a biological phantom.

Since then he has been active in the development of radiation dosimetry, quality assurance and radiation therapy equipment and techniques for most types of radiation from electrons and photons to neutrons, protons and light ions. He initiated the development of inverse radiation therapy planning and intensity modulated radiotherapy using scanning beams and dynamic multileaf collimator systems. During the last three decades he has been mainly active in the field of radiotherapy optimization using light ions and accurate radiobiological models describing the response of tumors and normal tissues. By such techniques he has been able to maximize the expectation value of the complication-free tumor cure under consideration of intensity modulation, dose fractionation, the choice of radiation modality, the number of beam portals and their angles of incidence as well as uncertainties in geometrical and biological parameters. Anders Brahme was head of the department of Oncology-Pathology 1998 – 1999 and has been director for the Vinnova Center of Excellence: Research Center for Radiation Therapy (1995 – 2007) and coordinator to the 6th FP of EU project BioCare on Molecular Tumor Imaging for Biologically Optimized Cancer Therapy (2004 – 2009). In 2008 he started a very close collaboration with the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) in Chiba, Japan on the future development of light ion therapy.

Abstract:The fast development of energy and intensity modulated radiation therapy during the last two decades using photon and electron beams has resulted in a considerable improvement of radiation therapy, particularly when combined with radiobiologically based treatment optimization techniques. This development and the recent development of advanced tumor diagnostics based on PET-CT and Spectroscopic MR imaging of the tumor density opens the field

for new powerful radiobiologically based treatment optimization methods. It is even possible by repeated PET-CT imaging to perform a real 3-dimensional (3D) predictive assay in vivo on the patient to determine the radiation responsiveness of the tumor being treated. The ultimate step is to use the unique radiobiological and dose distributional advantages of light ion beams for truly optimized bioeffect planning where the integral 3-dimensional dose delivery and tumor cell survival can be monitored by PET-CT imaging and corrected by adaptive therapy optimization methods.The main purpose of this presentation is to discuss the principal areas of development of therapy optimization considering the whole therapy chain from tumor diagnostics and patient fixation through therapy planning and treatment optimization to the repeated treatment setups and dose delivery on a patient that hopefully has a shrinking tumor and often may loose weight. Finally, it is the integral dose delivery and the biological effect distribution that matters so the shaping of the optimal incident beams is a truly complex inverse problem which is hard to solve by such a simplistic concept as a planning target volume.The above introduction indicates that Biologically Optimized 3D in vivo predictive Assay based Radiation Therapy (BIO-ART) is really the ultimate way to perform high precision radiation therapy using checkpoints of the integral dose delivery and the tumor response, and based on this information, performing compensating corrections of the dose delivery. By using biologically optimized scanned high energy photon or ion beams it is possible to measure in vivo the 3D dose delivery using the same PET-CT camera that was used for diagnosing the tumor spread. This method thus opens up the door for truly 3D biologically optimized adaptive radiation therapy where the measured dose delivery to the true target tissues can be used to fine adjust the incoming beams so that possible errors in the integral therapy process are eliminated towards the end of the treatment. Interestingly enough practically all major error sources can be corrected for in this way such as organ motions, treatment planning errors, patient setup errors, and dose delivery problems due to gantry, multileaf, or scanning beam errors. When it is possible to quantify surviving tumor clonogens after the first week or two of therapy, this information can be used to also account for uncertainties in biological response data and really cover all clinical uncertainties at the same time as more accurate dose response data can be derived. The response of the PET-CT camera is related to the truly delivered integral dose with correct temporal averaging, thus if only small errors are seen, it is sufficient to adjust the last few treatment fractions. Thus, when using PET-CT tumor response monitoring, it is even possible to account for the uncertainty in biological response of the patient and to do real time in vivo predictive assay to perform truly biologically optimized radiation therapy.Several examples of radiobiologically optimized dose delivery are presented and examples of the above mentioned new treatment techniques are illustrated for a number of clinically relevant targets. The unique properties of light ion therapy in this context are also presented in more detail.Using the recently available biologically based treatment optimization algorithms it is possible to improve the treatment outcome for

advanced tumors by as much 10 – 40%. The adaptive radiotherapy process based both on 3D tumor cell survival and dose delivery monitoring has the potential of percent accuracy in tumor response and dose delivery, not least with 3D geometric Bragg peak scanning and intensity modulated ion beam dose delivery. There is no doubt that the future of radiation therapy and diagnostic tumor imaging is very promising and gradually more and more patients may not even need advanced surgery but instead could be cured by photon and electron IMRT and ultimately biologically optimized light ion therapy, where the high LET-RBE Bragg peak is solely placed in the gross tumor volume.

Biology and design: the city as artificial natureLuis Fernández-Galiano

School of Architecture of Madrid’s Universidad Politécnica, SpainFriday, October 28, VCC, Multipurpose room 2, 20:00

Biography:Luis Fernández-Galiano (1950) is an architect, professor at the School of Architecture of Madrid’s Universidad Politécnica and editor of the journals AV/Arquitectura Viva. Between 1993 and 2006 he was in charge of the weekly architecture page of the newspaper El País, where he now writes in the Op-Ed section. A member of the Royal Academy of Doctors, he has been Cullinan Professor at Rice University, Franke Fellow at Yale University, a visiting scholar at the Getty Center of Los Angeles and a visiting critic at Princeton, Harvard, and the Berlage Institute; and has taught courses at the Menéndez Pelayo and Complutense universities. President of the jury in the 9th Venice Architecture Biennial, expert and juror of the Mies van der Rohe European Award, he has curated the exhibitions El espacio privado, Extreme Eurasia (in Tokyo and in Madrid) and Bucky Fuller & Spaceship Earth, and has been on the jury of several international competitions, in Europe and America. Among his books are La Quimera Moderna, Fire and Memory (MIT Press), Spain Builds (with New York’s MoMA in its English version, and presented in its Chinese version with symposiums in Shanghai and Beijing) and Atlas, Global Architecture circa 2000, a series of five volumes.

Abstract:Living beings have been interpreted as machines, but they also have served as inspiration for designing objects: organisms and mechanisms have exchanged a fertile dialogue, and both have served as a source of metaphors that have helped to blur the boundaries between what is natural and what is artificial. Cities, like buildings, have been described as organisms that are susceptible to mechanical and thermodynamic analysis, and these visions of the artificial environment help to understand the ecology of urban areas and to suggest sustainable ways of occupying the territory, which is an especially urgent challenge at the time of climate change and growing scarcity of fossil fuels, two vectors that should promote a thorough technical and spatial transformation of our societies.

MIC Refresher Courses

Patents: why they matter to researchers, searching for prior art, and medical technology related issues

Sascha Moehrs and Pau MontesEuropean Patent Office

Wednesday, October 26, 07.30-08.30, VCC, Auditorium 2

Academic research is more and more interacting with industrial partners and technology transfer institutions, which have a strong interest in commercialising their inventions and research results. At the same time, especially in academics, there seems to be a considerable lack of information on how to use intellectual property rights (IPR) to protect these results but also on how to make use of the enormous information published in patent applications.Consequently, the aim of this refresher course is to give researchers an insight into the world of patents with an emphasis on the European patent system. First an introduction to patents and practical information on the procedure to obtain a patent will be provided. Moreover, topics related to the search of patent literature will be presented, including an introduction to patent classification systems as well as an overview of public tools/databases for patent literature search and file inspection. Finally, patent related issues for medical technologies will be briefly addressed. The course includes presentations and a question and answer session to discuss the issues raised.

Recent developments of Photon and Light Ion Radiation Therapy Anders Brahme

Karolinska Institute, SwedenThursday, October 27, 07.30-08.30, VCC, Auditorium 2

During the last 30 years radiation therapy has developed from classical rectangular beams via conformation therapy with largely uniform dose delivery but irregular field shapes to fully intensity modulated dose delivery where the total dose distribution in the tumor can be fully controlled in three dimensions. This last step has been developed during the last 15 – 20 years and has opened up the possibilities for truly optimized radiation therapy also with multiple radiation modalities.This refresher course will briefly discuss biological objective functions and the associated advantages in the treatment outcome using new approaches such as consideration of stochastic positioning and sensitivity uncertainties and angle of incidence and fractionation schedule optimization with intensity-modulated beams. Finally, future possibilities for realizing general three-dimensional intensity-modulated dose delivery with the wide spectrum of radiation modalities from electrons and photons to protons and light ions will be discussed. The clinical value of different radiation modalities will also be briefly reviewed.

An introduction to modern CTWilli A. Kalender

Institute of Medical Physics, Erlangen University, GermanyFriday, October 28, 07:30-08:30, VCC, Auditorium 2

The refresher course aims at providing an introduction to basics, technology and applications of modern CT for “novices” in the field. The focus will be on the scan approaches and technology which are the basis for the amazingly high performance of modern CT. For this purpose the state of the art in clinical CT will be reviewed and recent development trends will be analysed briefly; 64-slice high-resolution spiral CT for whole-body imaging constitutes the standard today with rotation times below 0.3 s and total body scan times of just a few seconds. Performance has been enhanced significantly by the introduction of dual source CT. Further developments such as dedicated scanners for special applications and detector developments are key topics and will be outlined briefly to complete the overview. The basic physics of data acquisition and image reconstruction will be covered only briefly.

Fundamentals of PET/MRI ImagingSibylle Ziegler

Münich University, GermanySaturday, October 29, 07:30-08:30, VCC, Auditorium 2

PET/MR has attracted a lot of attention and the first systems are being used in the clinical arena. The major challenges in terms of detectors, system design, quantification, and protocols will be summarized. Different available hardware solutions in preclinical as well as clinical systems will be reviewed. Furthermore, issues and potential solutions for MR-based attenuation correction procedures will be covered.

RTSD Introduction 75

18th International Workshop on Room-Temperature Semiconductor X- and Gamma-Ray Detectors - RTSDIt is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 18th International Workshop on Room-Temperature Semiconductor X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Detectors. This conference represents the principal forum for 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! As Chairs of the workshop, we are particularly delighted to make the acquaintance of new contributors, as there are many challenges that lie ahead, some of which will be solved by those who are relatively new to the subject area.It is our sincere hope that this conference will facilitate cross-fertilization of research and spawn creative ideas, and that these ideas will be incorporated into knowledge, leading to new directions and thrusts. We urge you to take time at this meeting to build on the commonality of your work with colleagues within the RTSD, NSS and MIC conferences, and to share your data, energy, and experience, and explore ways to enhance cooperation and collaboration with others.We have chosen to hold this meeting in conjunction with the IEEE NSS and MIC meetings for the purpose of encouraging information exchange between a much larger body of scientists and engineers who have an in-depth knowledge of detectors, instrumentation, nuclear science and technology, and medical imaging. Joint sessions with NSS and MIC are scheduled to help bring people together with common interests and offer the right environment for the creation of new and fruitful associations. These joint sessions are clearly identified in the program booklet, and we request everyone’s participation.A RTSD luncheon will be held again this year. You are encouraged to purchase your ticket(s) when you pre-register as seating will be limited.We would like to thank the speakers and attendees for their contributions, the workshop sponsors for their kind support, and express our gratitude to the session chairs and members of the Workshop Program Committee, who have offered their time to enlist the involvement of most researchers in the field.

The 2011 Nuclear Science Symposium, Medical Imaging Conference, and Room Temperature Semiconductor Detector Workshop would not be possible without the many hours of hard work contributed by the Organizing Committee and the numerous volunteers who graciously offered their time. The organization of an IEEE meeting outside the US presents some unique challenges, and the committee has done a superb job in resolving the issues smoothly so as to make the conference a scientific, social, and financial success. As General Chair, it has been a pleasure working with such an outstanding team and I thank them sincerely for the enriching experience. It has been especially rewarding working with my friends and colleagues from Spain and to have had the opportunity to make several visits to the beautiful city of Valencia. It should be remembered that the conference is made possible through the sponsorship of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) and the generous support of the cooperating institutions and organizations listed in this program book and throughout the conference venue. The support from Spanish institutions has been especially encouraging. Following the submission of a record number of abstracts in all categories, the Scientific Program Chairs performed an outstanding and timely job in assembling the contributed papers so as to maximize the benefit to the attendees. I sincerely thank all the Program Chairs for their efforts.

Such an IEEE meeting would not be possible without the submission of high-level scientific contributions from authors wishing to showcase their results to the critical appraisal of their peers. I express my sincere gratitude to all the authors who submitted their abstracts in a timely manner thus ensuring the success of the meeting. It is indeed this intellectual and scientific content which has given the IEEE NSS-MIC-RTSD conference its well-justified reputation for quality and innovation. Many scientific and medical instruments and methods have been presented first at this meeting, and we are confident that the meeting in Valencia will undoubtedly continue this long standing tradition.

2012 NSS/MIC/RTSD

Colleagues:

The first NSS was held in 1954, so we are approaching 60 years of scientific exchange amongst the attendees at this conference. The conference has continued to expand with the formation of the MIC conference and the RTSD workshop. In 2012 we will hold the conference at the refurbished Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim California. The changes at the Hotel were made specifically to accommodate conferences such as ours, and the committee was pleased to find that the location will strongly encourage the informal exchange of ideas in the surrounding spaces that is a hallmark of the NSS/MIC/RTSD.

The hotel conference area is separated from the entertainment areas of Disneyland by a pedestrian walking/shopping area known as Downtown Disney. This area offers a wide variety of restaurants, coffee shops and stores to accommodate the needs of the attendees. As one would expect, there are also a wide variety of activities for attendees who bring family members with them and the conference will be able to offer not only tours, but also some special packages for those wishing to take advantage of the Disney parks.

Our motto for 2012 is “The Wonder of Science” and the Organizing Committee is planning a program to bring together all aspects of the science in our disciplines to further the state-of-the-art and disseminate up-to-date scientific information through the oral and poster presentations. There will be several short courses and workshops before the main conferences. The popular refresher courses will be held during the week to review current topics of special interest. A commercial exhibition featuring the state-of-the-art products and services from a wide range of companies will take place during the middle part of the meeting.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I encourage you to make plans now to attend the 59th NSS conference of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society as well as the not quite so old extensions of the IEEE MIC and RTSD conferences. I look forward to welcoming you to Disneyland, Anaheim in October 2012 for the NSS-MIC-RTSD.
