Dear Colleagues, The 2006 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS), Medical Imaging Conference (MIC) and the 15th International Workshop on Room Temperature Semiconductor X- and Gamma-ray Detectors (RTSD) will be held in San Diego from October 29th to November 4th. The venue is the attractive Town and Country Resort & Conven- tion Center, located in Mission Valley just a short distance from the downtown area. The Town and Country provides an ideal setting for our annual meet- ing. It has ample lecture space, accommodation and restaurants on a gorgeous site that is also compact enough to permit attendees to stroll unhurriedly from one session to another. In addition to the regular oral and poster presentations, there will be a number of topical short courses and special interest workshops. An industrial exhibition fea- turing the most up-to-date products and services from a wide range of vendors will take place during the main part of the meeting. The RTSD Workshop has a long history on its own. It is now becom- ing a tradition to hold it jointly with the NSS and MIC every other year (happening next in 2006), which is of mutual benefit to all attendees. A companion program will provide daily tours to some of the many attractions in and around the San Diego area. The city has a histori- cally diverse culture, and world-famous attractions such as its zoo, and its science and art museums; it is home to a key portion of the US Navy. Many exquisite dining options are available. Free parking will be available for hotel patrons, and there is light rail transportation from close by the hotel to much of the San Diego area, including the Mexican border. On behalf of the organizing committee, I encourage you to make plans now to attend this stimulating meeting, and look forward to welcoming you to delightful San Diego.

Thanks to the high quality of the submit- ted abstracts, and to your participation, it promises to be another N38-1: Development of Gadorinium Pyrosilicate Powder Scintillator outstanding meeting in the rich tradition that the IEEE NSS/MIC for Neutron Science has established over the years. J. H. Kaneko1, T. Yamaguchi1, K. Susa2, S. Miura1, Y. Yagi2, S. Kawamura1, T. Oku3, F. Fujita1, A. Homma1, H. Ishibashi2, The meeting you are attending represents almost four years of plan- T.

You will find their names mentioned in this 4RIKEN, Japan program booklet, but we would like to take a moment to recognize three particular individuals who bore a particular burden in planning N38-2: Quantum Confinement Effects in Semiconducting this meeting. First and foremost, nothing would happen without Scintillators the General Chair. Tom Lewellen has shielded us from the many K. Shibuya, H. Murayama, National Institute of Radiological Science, difficult and time-consuming details of organizing a conference and Japan; M. Koshimizu, K. Asai, Tohoku University, Japan allowed us to focus on developing the scientific program for the MIC. Together with the rest of his program committee, especially Tony N38-3: On the Suitability of Lanthanum Halide Scintillator Lavietes who dealt with all the site arrangements, they have done an Detectors for Interplanetary Space Missions outstanding job. The other critical person was Bo Yu who over the A. Owens1, A. J. J. Bos2, E. J. Buis3, P. Dorenbos2, S. Kraft3, 2 years has put together a terrific website for the NSS/MIC meeting C. W. E.

Mascarenhas, J. Lund, J. Peel, D. Sunnarborg vantage of the beautiful resort we are staying at. We have shifted the schedule to allow three and a half hours of free time in the afternoon Sandia National Laboratories, USA so that you can enjoy a cocktail on your balcony, a swim in the pool or a boat ride to the beach. We hope this will give you additional time to chat with your colleagues, away from the formality of the lecture hall, and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Of course, it also gives the die-hard poster fanatics plenty of time to stroll down the aisles of posters and take their fill of the wonderful science on offer should they so choose. This year we have recognized exceptional submissions with a special “premium poster” category, located in the main foyer. Another change this year is a tighter integration with the NSS pro- gram. There is now so much overlap, especially in the areas of detec- tors and electronics, that we have a whole day of joint sessions, as well as a joint poster session, designed to promote further interaction and collaboration between the two different interest areas. We are delighted to have two outstanding plenary speakers this year. Dr. Jeff Bulte from Johns Hopkins University will talk about the use of imaging to visualize and track stem cells, an area with some unique opportunities and challenges for imaging, while Dr. Clifford

Chao from the MD Anderson Cancer Center will talk about the use Conference Imaging Medical

It is our sincere hope that you will leave Puerto Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Rico intellectually enriched, and relaxed and refreshed in mind and There is considerable interest in the use of spirit. stem cells as a new therapeutic approach for tackling a wide range of human disease. Imaging is poised to play a critical role, Simon Cherry both in preclinical development and in Ramsey Badawi clinical application of cell-based therapies. In his presentation, Prof. Bulte will review the key biologic properties of stem cells and discuss the pros and cons of the differ- ent available non-invasive imaging modalities, with an emphasis on strategies for magnetic labeling of cells with superparamagnetic iron oxides. He will demonstrate the use of imaging for monitoring of neural (stem) cell migration in the brain and spinal cord in rodents, and in guiding bone marrow stem cell therapy in the infarcted myo- cardium in pig and dog models. He will also report on the results of the first worldwide clinical trial using magnetically labeled therapeutic cells. Finally, Prof. Bulte will examine the limitations of current imag-

ing strategies and explore some of the new emerging technologies that MIC are being considered for stem cell imaging. Ramsey Badawi (left) and Simon Cherry (right), Scientific Program Chairs of the 2005 IEEE Prof. Bulte received his Ph.D. in Immunology from the University Medical Imaging Conference of Groningen (The Netherlands) in 1991. From 1992 until 2001 he worked at the National Institutes of Health in the Laboratory of Diagnostic Radiology Research before joining the Department of Radiology and the Institute for Cell Engineering at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as an Associate Professor.

For the concep- tion and construction of complex science apparatuses, for example, or with many of today’s interconnected science subjects and projects, multidisciplinary interactions and communication are needed, and more often essential. All participants in the process share and create knowledge and innovation through a process where technological learning and knowledge management, common understanding and OpenGATE Workshop language are important factors. The absorptive capacity and the way in which knowledge is managed in TT projects are key parameters for The GATE workshop is organized by the OpenGATE collaboration success. and is mostly intended to the users and the developers of GATE. It will include an introduction regarding the OpenGATE collaboration, Inter-organizational TT projects are a good source to study the factors presentations of research activities based on Gate by GATE users, that may enable or hinder the knowledge transfer process. Knowledge presentation of on-going developments performed by OpenGATE, management tools, cross-functional teams, the community of prac- and a discussion between GATE users and the OpenGATE members Workshops tices, and infrastructure for knowledge transfer made available, as well about the current limits of GATE and the actions to be taken to as the cultural and personal enablers for knowledge transfer specific to overcome them. a project, may be optimized to leverage the outcomes. The event is co-organized and co-chaired by Dr. Uwe Bratzler, scien- tist with industrial background and chair of the IEEE Trans-National Committee and Dr. Jean-Marie Le Goff, Group Leader of Technology Transfer at CERN. The agenda is as follows: 1. Welcome and introduction of the panel, participants and guest speakers.

Workshops 2. Brief presentations (10-15 minutes) by experts of the TT process, 136 137 Acknowledgements NSS and MIC Program Committee Marcello Abbrescia, INFN, Italy As the conference draws near, I am reminded of the importance Roberto Accorsi, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, USA of the many hard working members of the 2005 committee and Felix Aharonian, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik, Germany their colleagues. It is a large commitment of time and work to put Alberto Aloisio, INFN - Sezione di Napoli and University of Sannio, this conference on. It is not only the committee members, but also Italy their institutions and colleagues that give them time to work for the Richard M. Ambrosi, University of Leicester, Department of Physics and conference. This is a long process that begins with the site selection Astronomy, Space Research Centre, UK committee and only ends after the final audit reports go back to IEEE Giovanni Ambrosi, INFN Sezione di Perugia, Italy after the conference has ended. I am particularly indebted to those Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA who have gone before me in developing the approaches and general Mark Amman, guidelines for putting a conference such as the NSS/MIC together. Ladislav Andricek, MPI fuer Physik, Germany Needless to say, I offer my thanks to all of the committee members (I Matteo M. Angarano, CAEN – Viareggio, Italy hope we managed to list all of them in this program booklet). With- Yasuo Arai, KEK, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, Japan out the efforts of the technical chairs for NSS and MIC, the program Rachel M Avramidou, University of Michigan, USA would not exist. Without the efforts of the local arrangements chair Henry R Band, University of Wisconsin, USA and the treasurer, we would not have a viable venue for the confer- Brad Barber, University of Arizona, USA ence. Without the efforts of our web master and conference editor, Dave Barney, CERN, Switzerland we would not have a proceedings and the review process would have Jean-Francois Beche, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA been most painful indeed. Adam Bernstein, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory USA This is a meeting that relies on the efforts of volunteers. It builds Gregory Bizarri, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands from year to year with new tools (e.g., the web based review process Steven Boggs, University of California Berkeley Space Sciences and meeting registration tools) and new capabilities. We continue to Laboratory, USA find ways to provide more services such as wireless networking and to Christian Bohm, University of Stockholm, Dept. of Physics, Sweden enhance the conference experience for all attendees. This year was no Uwe Bratzler, CERN AND TMU, Switzerland exception. The many volunteers have done their job and, in spite of Ian C. Brock, Bonn University, Germany the many problems that crop up, the conference will be held and the Rene Brun, CERN, Switzerland goals met. Peter Bruyndonckx, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium We have listed the various sponsors—both academic and commer- Arnold Burger, Fisk University, USA cial—without whose support the conference could not be held. We Morgan T. Burks, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA have listed in the prior pages messages from the many chairs of the Massimo L. Caccia, Università dell’Insubria, Italy various major parts of the conference. We have also listed the many Paolo Calafiura,Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA others who have contributed to the program as reviewers. In the end, Daniel V. Camin, Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Universita’ and INFN, we manage never to list all who have contributed and I apologize to Italy those that we have not to included. I also extend my thanks to the CERN, Switzerland families and friends of the committee members who have supported Mar Capeans, their many extra hours over weekends and weekdays to make this Alessandro Cardini, INFN sezione di Cagliari, Italy conference a reality. And I end with a plea for anyone who finds the Ariella Cattai, CERN, Switzerland NSS/MIC to be a significant and worthwhile meeting to explore Anna Cavallini, Department of Physics, University of Bologna, Italy becoming a volunteer to assure its continued future.
