Announcing IEEE SORMA West 2020
June 2-4, Clark Kerr Campus, UC-Berkeley
Thanks to all submitters for your great response to the Call for Abstracts, which is now closed. The Program Committee is now working to evaluate them and assemble the technical program. It will include both oral and poster presentations as well as plenary talks you won’t want to miss. Industrial exhibits will showcase solutions to your technology needs.
A welcome reception is planned for the evening of June 1. The technical presentations will be all day June 2, 3, and 4.
Topical Focus: Radiation Detection for National and Homeland Security Applications
Continuing the successful thematic focus of 2016, we are dedicating the entire symposium to these applications. Where SORMA West 2016 looked back at the significant investments made in these areas over the prior decade, SORMA West 2020 will shift the focus toward emerging technologies with the potential to significantly advance security applications.
Location
For 2020, SORMA West will return to the University of California at Berkeley campus. We’ll be in the conference facility at the Clark Kerr Campus, just off the main campus. Conveniently accessible from the OAK and SFO airports via public transit, this venue will offer affordable dormitory-style housing on-premises to cultivate interaction. To offer further opportunities for shoptalk and serendipity, breakfast and lunch will be provided on-site for all registered attendees.
Our location in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area lends itself to lively and diverse entertainment and cultural opportunities to make your time off as memorable as the technical program.
Proceedings
Presenters are encouraged to consider submitting manuscripts to a fully refereed special issue of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science. The deadline has not been established but is expected to be about a month after the Symposium. Detailed instructions will be published on this site as the Symposium draws near.
We look forward to seeing you in the Berkeley area for an engaging and rewarding Symposium with a new focus on some of the most important motivations and applications of our work.
