The International Workshop on Low Temperature Detectors (LTD) is the biennial meeting to present and discuss latest results on research and development of cryogenic detectors for radiation and particles, and on applications of those detectors.  The 17-th workshop will be held at Kurume City Plaza in Kurume city, Fukuoka Japan from 17th of July through 21st. 

The workshop will be organized with the following six sessions:

(0) Keynote talks

(1) Sensor Physics & Developments

• example themes: TES, MMC, MKIDS, STJ, Semiconductors, Novel detectors, others

(2) Readout Techniques & Signal processing

• example themes: Electronics, Multiplexing, Filtering, Imaging, Microwave circuit, Data analysis, others

(3) Fabrication & Implementation Techniques

• example themes: Fabrication process, MEMS, Pixel array, Microwave wirings, others

(4) Cryogenics and Components

• example themes: Refrigerators, Window techniques, Optical Blocking Filters, others

(5) Applications

• example themes: Electromagnetic wave & photon (mm-wave, THZ, IR, Visible, X-ray, Gamma-ray), Particles, Neutrons, CMB, Dark Matter, Neutrinos, Particle & Nuclear Physics, Rare Event Search, Material Analysis & Life Science

Kurume is a fabulous location for the workshop. It is known by good local foods and good Sake (Japanese rice wine), and also for traditional fabric called Kurume Gasuri. The LTD17 workshop provides you a wonderful opportunity to exchange your ideas and extend your experience on the low temperature detectors. We hope you will join and enjoy.
