The ANIMMA conference proposes on Monday afternoon, June 21, a session devoted to several workshops. They will focus on specific topics in different fields by highlighting state-of-the-art work. For this edition, the topics addressed will concern instrumentation in fusion and fission, material sciences and medicine. Each workshop will also include time slots for discussion and exchange between speakers and participants. These periods will be useful to share opinions, cross-fertilize skills and expertise and identify collaborative research axes to go further by solving scientific and technological challenges.

Workshop N°1: Nuclear instrumentation and measurement for major research facilities in the fields of fusion and fission
Date: Monday, 21 June 2021, from 2 p.m.
Workshop conveners: Christelle REYNARD-CARETTE (Aix-Marseille University, IM2NP UMR7334, ISFIN institute, christelle.carette@univ-amu.fr) and Gordon KOHSE (MIT, NRL, USA, kohse@mit.edu)
The development of nuclear instrumentation and measurement methods for major research facilities in the fields of fission and fusion is crucial, and is reinforced by the construction of new facilities, such as the ITER Tokamak and the Jules Horowitz Reactor. Such facilities will offer new, more extreme conditions requiring accurate, reliable and miniaturized hardened sensors and detectors. Nuclear aspects and constraints will increase in particular in the field of magnetic confinement fusion due to the use of the Deuterium-Tritium reaction and the challenge of controlling and monitoring the in situ tritium breeding for future generations of nuclear fusion reactors. The workshop will focus on recent advances in nuclear instrumentation, and scientific and technological breakthroughs through invited oral presentations. The workshop will cover experimental and numerical studies carried out under laboratory conditions and in real media. The workshop will also detail issues related to future challenges. Finally, one of the objectives of this workshop will be to contribute to cross-fertilization between the fission and fusion scientific communities.

Workshop N°2: Crystalline Materials for Radiation Detection
Date: Monday, 21 June 2021, from 2 p.m.
Workshop conveners: Ivana CAPAN (Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Croatia, capan@irb.hr) and Takahiro MAKINO, National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (QST), Japan, makino.takahiro@qst.go.jp)
The development of efficient and environmentally-friendly technologies for radiation detection is a great challenge. Among the materials of present and future perspective are crystalline materials, wide-bandgap semiconductor crystals, in particular. The recent progress in crystal growth, theoretical modelling, understanding of radiation induced defects, and radiation hardness has offered a new perspectives for radiation detection. Wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC, GaN, Ga2O3 and diamond are expected to be applied to radiation detectors with extremely radiation hardness, and huge efforts to develop radiation detectors based on wide bandgaps semiconductors has been spent. This Workshop is dedicated to all aspects related to the growth, characterization, and applications of crystalline materials for radiation detection with the aim to provide an overview of the issues of current interest and future perspectives.

Workshop N°3: Forum on Prospective technologies for the future PET imaging
Date: Monday, 21 June 2021, from 2 p.m.
Workshop conveners: Patrick LE DÛ (Retired from CEA Saclay and IEEE NPSS, patrickledu@me.com), Christian BOHM (University of Stockholm, Sweden, bohm@fysik.su.se), Cinzia DA VIA (University of Manchester, UK, cinzia.davia@manchester.ac.uk), Masaharu NOMACHI (Osaka University, Japan, nomachi@rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp)
This half-day forum will be oriented around the technical evolution of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) starting from the present to extrapolate to the future. It will be discussed the various technological progresses of tools and techniques in the component of this device from picosecond electronics, Time of Flight, new scintillators, use of Compton event detection, software and analysis of the data using IA as well as its use in various application in Cancer diagnostic, real time patient dose monitoring in particle therapy, small animal experimental state of the art small devices...
We propose to invite few eminent worldwide scientific experts of that domain who made great outstanding development of tools and techniques in their respective fields that made a breakthrough in medical applications. After a short introduction of their technical work, we will ask them to develop their vision for the future. At the end, there will be a forum between them to reply to the question of the audience. We want to transform this kind of forum in an open access accessible by the maximum of students and scientific interested by the subject. We want to promote it like a webinar type where participants should register and be able to ask question remotely...
