The meeting consisted of overview talks, technical presentations, poster sessions and roundtable discussions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese proceedings capture the technical content and the spirit of the 2005 workshop. The 87 papers cover a wide range of detector technologies including CCDs, CMOS, APDs, and sub-mm detectors. There are papers on observatory status and plans, special applications, detector testing and characterization, and electronics. A special feature of these proceedings is the inclusion of pedagogical overview papers, which were written by teams of leading experts from different institutions. These proceedings are appropriate for a range of expertise levels, from undergraduates to professionals working in the field. The information presented in this book will serve as a valuable reference for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop was organized by the Scientific Workshop Factory, Inc. and the INAF- Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401776394\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/1-4020-4330-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x168cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 771\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45605126602892,"sku":"9789401776394","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401776394.jpg?v=1776428677","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401776394","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
