Objectives
The conference is intended to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research on radiation dosimetry based on solid state processes and methods. Presentations covering basic physics, methodological issues, and the application of these techniques in a wide range of areas.
The conference objective is to use the achievements of material science and technology for solving the environmental and health protection problems, for creation of new devices needed in medical applications, environmental, space and aviation monitoring and luminescence dating.
A special focus of SSD 16 will be innovative medical dosimetry and its clinical applications. Satellite mini-Micro-Nano Dosimetry (MMD 2010) One day workshop will be a feature of SSD 16. |

History SSD Conferences
This series of conferences began in 1965 at Stanford, USA, and since then has expanded its initial scope from luminescence dosimetry to the current variety of solid state processes and methods available for radiation dosimetry.

In 1995, the International Solid State Dosimetry Organization, ISSDO, was created to promote and assist in the organization of the triennial Solid State Dosimetry Conferences, ensuring their continuity. SSD16 will be the fifth conference of the series organized under the auspices and regulations of the ISSDO.
