Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors
The invention of Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD), in particular the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) and the Micro-Mesh Gaseous Structure (Micromegas), has triggered active research and development on a new generation of gaseous detectors. These technologies, together with other micro-pattern detector schemes recently developed, allow for the development of detectors with unprecedented spatial resolution, high-rate capability, large sensitive area, operational stability, and increased radiation hardness. A large number of groups world wide are developing MPGD devices for future experiments at particle accelerators, for experiments in nuclear and astroparticle physics, as well as for industrial applications such as medical imaging, material science, and security inspection. Given the growing interest in this rapidly developing field, we are organizing an International Conference series, dedicated to review the current status of various MPGD detector technologies, new results, new concepts, applications and future developments.
Venue
The 2nd International Conference on MPGDs will be held in Maiko, Kobe, Japan at Seaside Hotel MAIKO VILLA KOBE, located suburban of the Kobe city, from 29 August to 1 September, 2011.

The Conference will be followed by the RD51 Collaboration meeting on 2-3 September at the same venue.
Young scientist "Charpak Award"
A special Elsevier Young Scientist Award dedicated to Georges Charpak, who passed away on September 29, will be provided by the NIMA editorial board. The best young presenter(s) (aged 35 or less) at the conference will be awarded the memorial prize, which includes a 1,000 EUR (total) award, at the conference dinner on August 31st.
***Kiseki Nakamura and Sverre Dørheim won Charpak Award!***
