In This Issue

This summer, the Educational Committee sponsored two schools almost back-to-back. Both schools were a great success and are featured in this issue.

The IEEE NPSS Barranquilla EduCom International School (BEIS) was held in Colombia’s Caribbean coast.

Shortly after we had the annual University of Osaka Hamadohri Environmental Radiation Measurements International School, which took place in Japan around Fukushima.

With this issue we are pleased to revive a tradition that we introduced more than ten years ago within CANPS.The student award winners from the Real-Time Conference are invited to provide an article for this newsletter about their award-winning work. We are starting the article series with a contribution from María Molina-Delicado, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Towards a Central Trigger Processor for the next-generation LST camera. Enjoy, and stay tuned for more student articles in the coming issues.

I hope that you will enjoy this new issue of the NPSS Newsletter.

Upcoming Conferences

This is the time of year when the NPSS community prepares for two of its flagship conferences, the Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems (RADECS), and the Nuclear Science Symposium, Medical Imaging, and Room-Temperature Semiconductor Detectors Conference (NSS/MIC/RTSD). Both conferences are featured in articles in this issue.

RADECS takes place September 28 – October 2, 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic, and promises an outstanding scientific program featuring an excellent lineup of distinguished speakers, technical visits to local facilities, as well as a superb cultural experience.

The NSS/MIC/RTSD conference will be held in Granada, Spain, November 7–14. It will take the NPSS community to one of Europe’s most historic and inspiring destinations. We will have reports from both conferences in the next issue.
