1. Session on Earth and Jupiter radiation belts at EPSC, Potsdam, Germany, on 13-18 September 2009.
**********************************************************************

From: Nicolas Andre

Dear colleagues,

I would like to invite you to submit papers to the session MG4 on Earth and Jupiter radiation belts at the next European Planetary Sciences Congress that will take place in Potsdam, Germany, on 13-18 September 2009.

http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC2009/session/1742

Abstract deadline: 22 May 2009

Best Regards,

Nicolas André
Centre d'Etude Spatiale des Rayonnements

Session details:

Energetic ions and electrons within planetary radiation belts have a large impact on spacecraft and human technologies. This session puts the emphasis on magnetospheric processes that are related to the radiation belts of the Earth and Jupiter. Source, loss and transport processes that govern the radiation belts of the two planets as well as their variability and effects will be discussed and compared.

All contributions on ground- or space-based observations of the radiation belts of the Earth and Jupiter, as well as on their modeling and simulations are welcome. In the context of the future Europa Jupiter System mission we also encourage papers discussing the radiation interactions with spacecraft components, instrument and detectors, and moon surfaces that could help to design radiation-hardened spacecraft and understand expected performances of scientific instruments in the Jupiter environment.

Due to different planetary and magnetospheric conditions, radiation belts evolve and appear different on various other bodies of our solar system. Previous or recent missions like THEMIS, Demeter, Galileo, Cassini, Messenger, or upcoming ones like the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, BepiColombo, and Juno allow a comparison of radiation belts on different planets. In particular studies related to the radiation belts of Saturn and to the transient radiation belts at Ganymede and Mercury are encouraged.

2. 11th ICATPP Conference on Astroparticle, Particle, Space Physics,
Detectors and Medical Physics Applications, Villa Olmo, Como 5-9
October 2009
**********************************************************************

http://villaolmo.mib.infn.it/VOmail_2009.html

The dead line of abstract submission for Oral Presentation is June 30, 2009 The dead line of abstract submission for Posters is August 31. 2009

The conference will be devoted to physics requirements, survey of technologies and performance of detectors employed (or to be employed) in fundamental and particle physics experiments at accelerators, underground laboratories, submarine facilities, and in space environments for astroparticle physics experiments and astrophysics research, special applications like medical imaging, radiotherapy, software (GEANT4) for dose estimate in radiotherapy, radiation effects on devices, synchrotron radiation and new detectors

Presentations include the following subjects: colliding beam machines, non accelerator facilities, space facilities, specialized detectors, calorimetry, tracking devices, particle identification, data transmission, data acquisition, semiconductors, medical applications, radiotherapy, radiation damage effects and software developments, including GEANT4 applications.

The conference is aimed to promote contacts among scientists involved in particle and fundamental physics, experimental physicists in other fields and representatives from industry.

Representatives from industries are welcome to present their products and to discuss present and future technologies and developments .
