Seven Advanced Detector Research Grants Awarded

The Advanced Detector Research (ADR) program is a competitive grant program in the Office of High Energy Physics that supports detector research by university-based physicists. The ADR program seeks to encourage research into detector technologies that will enable new, not yet approved experiments. For the FY 2005 cycle, seven proposals were selected for funding based on external peer reviews, totaling $470,000 in new FY05 commitments. The winners will investigate new detector technologies for dark matter searches, neutrino experiments, and fast, radiation-tolerant silicon sensors. They are:
