16 - 18 December, 2025
Introduction
The Experimental High Energy Physics (EHEP) department at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad, is organizing the International Workshop on Tracking Detector Technologies. The workshop is a dynamic platform aimed at fostering collaboration within the Pakistani scientific community, including students, researchers and professionals.
This workshop will explore the latest advancements in tracking detector systems, emphasizing their pivotal role in modern physics experiments. Participants will gain comprehensive insights into cutting-edge technologies such as silicon detectors, hybrid pixel detectors, tracks identification, next-generation sensors, sensors fabrication and detector readout systems.
Topics
- Innovative tracking architectures used in major experiments, including those at the LHC, CERN
- Advanced applications of silicon detectors in precision particle tracking
- Machine learning-based reconstruction algorithms for detecting invisible particles
- Emerging trends such as AI-enhanced real-time tracking and 4D tracking systems
- Broader applications of tracking technologies in medical imaging, space exploration, and security systems
During this event, there will be a dedicated half-day mini-workshop on machine learning in semiconductor detectors. |
