The objective of the LIDINE conference series is to promote discussion among members of the particle and nuclear physics communities about detector technologies based on noble elements and their applications such as dark matter, neutrino oscillations, solar and supernova neutrinos, coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, neutrinoless double-beta decay, neutron EDM, and medical physics.
LIDINE 2026 is an in-person conference hosted by Nikhef, Amsterdam from October 6th to 9th, 2026.
The conference will be organized along the following tracks:
- Light/charge response in Noble Elements (gas, liquid, dual phase)
- Light/charge readout (PMTs, SiPM, WLS, electronics, etc.)
- Detector techniques (HV, cryogenics, purification, calibration, etc.)
- Signal reconstruction and identification (analysis methods, simulations)
- Applications (dark matter, neutrino, precision frontier, medicine, etc.)
The format will include plentary talks, poster presentations, and roundtable discussions. During abstract submission, please indicate which of the three formats you prefer. If you choose 'roundtable discussion', we will assume you want to chair a roundtable on the topic of your abstract.
