ICFDT8 8th International Conference on Frontier in Diagnostic Technologies

19 Oct 2026, 09:00 → 21 Oct 2026, 18:00 UTC

Sala Bruno Brunelli (Frascati)

Francesco Paolo Orsitto, Giuseppe Finocchiaro, Rosaria Villari

ICFDT (International Conference Frontiers in Diagnotics Technologies) is an interdisciplinary conference, aimed at bringing together scientists, engineers and experts from industries. to discuss common interests in concepts and realization of measurement systems. 
Contributions are welcome from the frontiers of diagnostics in different areas of research: high energy and accelerator physics and technology, nuclear fusion plasmas, space and astrophysics research, medical applications, lasers physics and technology, etc.

The Conference ICFDT8 is co-organized by the Agenzia Nazionale per le Nuove Tecnologie, l’Energia e lo Sviluppo Economico Sostenibile  (ENEA), the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and the International Center Piero Caldirola ETS (ICPC), with financial support from the European Space Agency (ESA), the Milano-Bicocca University and CAEN (Electronics for Research Company).

A special focus of this 8th edition (ICFDT8) will be the discussion on ‘ the measurement in the AI era’. Alongside the main framework of plasma physics, the interdisciplinary character of the conference is fully maintained, together with sessions dedicated to diagnostic techniques for the ‘preservation of cultural heritage’.

The ICFDT8 is organized in 10 sessions, two poster (poster dim. 841 x 1.189 mm (A0) vertical)sessions: a session is dedicated to diagnostics for high energy physics experiments and special sessions on diagnostics of DTT  and EAST Tokamaks.

The program will include oral presentations (15'+5') and tutorials (25'+5'). Short oral presentations of 8' + 2', aimed particularly at students, can also be proposed.

ICFDT8 encourages the ‘in person’ participation: the remote participation will be considered possible but extraordinary.

The ICFDT8 proceedings will be published on The Journal of Instrumentation (JINST).
