The International Conference "Instrumentation for Colliding Beam Physics" (INSTR-26) will be held at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Hefei, China, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 16, 2026 (Oct. 11 for registration). This conference is in close relationship with those held in Vienna (VCI or Vienna Conference on Instrumentation) and on Elba (PM or Pisa Meeting on Advanced Detectors). The conference covers novel methods of particle detection used in various experiments at particle colliders and other accelerators as well as in astrophysics.
Scientific Programme
The aim of the Conference is to review the status and progress in instrumentation for experiments at colliding beams and related fields. The main topics include:
- Colliders and detector integration
- Tracking and vertex detectors
- Timing detectors
- Micropattern gas detectors
- Particle identification
- Calorimetry
- Instrumentation for Astroparticle and Neutrino physics
- Electronics, Trigger and Data Acquisition
- Computing and software in high energy physics
