ADAM's participation as industrial partner at 11th ICATPP Conference on Astroparticle, Particle, Space Physics, Detectors and Medical Physics Applications
Instrumentation as a tool for detection of radiation and effects of radiation in particle physics, astroparticle physics, space environment and medical applications
(Villa Olmo, Como, Italy, 5-9 October 2009)

The conference was devoted to physics and 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 environment (including Earth magnetosphere and heliosphere) for astroparticle physics experiments and astrophysics research, special applications like medical imaging, radiotherapy, simulation code (GEANT4) for dose estimate in radiotherapy, radiation effects on devices, synchrotron radiation and new advanced detectors.

Presentations included the following subjects: advances in physics from present and next generation experiments, advanced detectors, calorimetry, tracking devices, particle identification, data transmission, data acquisition, semiconductors, medical applications, radiotherapy, radiation damage effects, software and simulation developments, GEANT4 applications.

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