Dear collaborators,

This message is to announce that the registration in now opened for both the 19th AGATA week and the 3rd Position Sensitive Germanium Detectors (PSeGe)
technology and application Workshop.

The registration can be done in the web page for both events:

https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/17160/

Both events, the AGATA week and the PSeGe workshop, will be held at IPHC from Monday 10th to Friday 14th September 2018.

Sessions are foreseen from Monday afternoon to Friday morning, i.e. four full days, therefore, please consider the extra time for travelling.

The meeting is being organized by our collaborators from IPHC, France and will be held in IPHC Grünewald amphitheatre located in building 25.

Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning will be devoted to the PSeGe workshop. PSeGe is a JRA within the ENSAR2 –EC- project, aiming to develop position
sensitive Ge detector technologies and to the demonstration of Ge detector imaging applications and associated detector technologies.

Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning will be devoted to the 19th AGATA week. For this part of the meeting, the program will include
reports from the regular working group and team meetings.

Please feel free to forward this message to your collaborators.

3-7 June, University of Liverpool, UK

Under the framework of NUSPIN@ENSAR2 training activities there will be a Germanium Detector School hosted at the University of Liverpool from 3rd to 7th June 2019. The school is aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and electronics engineers who are not experts in germanium detector systems. The school is a complementary activity to the recent Hands on Workshop on Test, Operation and Repair of detectors held at IKP Cologne in September 2018. The school will give an introduction to germanium detector systems and provide training in essential measurement techniques.

Topics include:

• Detector assembly
• Repair/Problem solving
• Annealing & Vacuum testing
• Performance Testing
• Custom Acceptance Testing

The website and registration page will be available shortly. ENSAR2 financial support is available to students, postdoctoral researchers and electronics engineers to help with their attendance at this school.
