Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Silicon and other semiconductor-based scintillation and direct conversion detectors have held a prominent position in radiation detection since the 1960s, driven by applications ranging from particle physics, over material science, to astronomy. These detectors yield very high spatial resolution and linearity, and due to the appearance of SiPMs and similar internal gain devices, they offer promising solutions with sub-nanosecond time-resolutions and near single-photon counting capabilities. Currently, the state of the art in these technologies has been promoted by projects such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN for high-energy particles, the Ice-Cube experiment searching for neutrinos, or the James Webb Space Telescope operating in the MIR and FIR parts of the spectra. On the other hand, technologies based on superconducting materials have matured in such a way that they contribute to low-energy radiation detection and, together with gas and liquid-scintillation-based detector systems, fulfil the technology possibilities at hand. This Special Issue on “Particle Detectors” seeks to provide a wide overview of the state of the art and emerging technologies in the field of radiation and particle detection, featuring contributions from experts from different areas facing increasing challenges in this fascinating field.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
