1. Session on Earth and Jupiter radiation belts at EPSC, Potsdam, Germany,
on 13-18 September 2009.
**********************************************************************
From: Nicolas Andre <Nicolas.Andre at cesr.fr>
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
**********************************************************************
From: Pier Giorgio Rancoita <piergiorgio.rancoita at mib.infn.it>
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 .
