Nuclear physics midterm plan in Italy: detector developments

Abstract The INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati was established in 1954 to host an electro-synchrotron, the first particle accelerator built in Italy, and since then played a crucial role in the field of nuclear and particle physics and for the development of acceleration and detection technologies. Within this historical tradition, a workshop was organized at LNF in the framework of the Nuclear Physics Mid Term Plan Italy, an initiative of the Nuclear Physics Division of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, to discuss the detection techniques employed in nuclear physics and to identify the open issues to be addressed to realize the scientific programs of the experiments foreseen in a midterm perspective. The present report summarizes the outcome of the discussions.
