Announcements

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the first Frontiers of Scintillator Technology (FroST 2016) Workshop, to be held at Fermilab on March 18-20, 2016.  The Workshop is intended to explore the physics drivers and capabilities of next-generation, underground, large-scale liquid scintillation detectors.

Physics topics include:

o Long-baseline neutrino oscillations
o Neutrinoless double beta decay
o Solar neutrinos
o Supernova burst neutrinos
o Diffuse supernova neutrinos
o Nucleon decay
o Geoneutrinos
o Sterile neutrinos

The focus will be on discussions of requirements for future detectors and enabling technologies, including new scintillator cocktails and loading techniques, water-based liquid scintillators, new photosensors, and inner containment vessels. All talks will be plenary, and the agenda will include significant time for discussion.

We will soon follow this first announcement with a website with details, including registration, which we anticipate to be open beginning September 1, 2015.  Please forward this notice to interesting colleagues in your respective experiments and departments. We look forward to seeing many of you there.

Regards,
