The IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium 2016 (NSS) covers – for scientists and engineers alike – the latest developments in instrumentation and data processing of the fields of particle and nuclear physics, astrophysics, space science, security, energy and environmental sciences, and radiation therapy. The program spans a wide field of techniques from both single-channel, small detectors to large detector systems.

The NSS program format consists of plenary, parallel, and poster sessions. Authors are invited to submit papers describing their original work in one of the NSS topics below. In addition, joint sessions will be held with the MIC and RTSD communities. They are an opportunity to highlight transverse research works between communities. We invite you to submit papers describing their original work in one of the following NSS topics below or for the joint sessions on dosimetry, beam instrumentation, and hadron therapy.

The NSS symposium offers outstanding opportunities for scientific exchange on radiation detectors and instrumentation and fosters progress throughout. In 2016 it will be hosted in Strasbourg, France and the sessions on Monday will be followed by the NSS dinner. It will take place in the Orangerie, a pleasant and relaxing place.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy the exciting 2016 IEEE NSS/MIC/RTSD symposium and are looking forward to meeting you in Strasbourg, France, in the heart of Europe, in autumn 2016.
