It must be made within 2 pages using the template as provided here. Authors are to provide permissions of sharing their abstracts online on the SSD19 web site prior to the Conference. The highlights of 2 to 3 sentences in each abstract will appear in the abstract book and the full abstracts will be distributed in a USB stick at the Conference.

Every presenting author (who will attend the Conference as a registered participant) may submit two abstracts but no more than one for oral presentation. Additional abstract(s) being presented by the same participant will not be taken into account.

Online application of abstract submission has been closed. Acceptance of the submitted abstract was notified to the applicant on 15 April 2019.

Poster presentation will be made with a A0-size (1189 mm high x 841 mm wide) poster mounted on a display panel prepared by the organizer. More detailed guidelines for presentations will be provided in due course.

Note that acceptance of the abstract does not mean acceptance of the proceeding which would be published on the Radiation Measurements journal (RM) as the SSD19 special issue. The standard peer-review process which is the same with that of regular issues of RM will be applied to all submitting manuscripts.

Application of reduced conference fee / Marko Moscovitch School fee was closed. The result was notified personally to the applicant by 15 April 2019.

To enable students and postdocs to attend the SSD19 conference whose institutions are not able to provide financial support, the organization may sponsor attendants through a 50% reduced conference fee. In exceptional cases the organization may decide to give a 100% reduction (i.e. no conference fee). Professionals may also apply for a reduced Marko Moscovitch School fee. Students who like to attend both the Marko Moscovitch School and the conference can apply for a reduced combined fee.

Since a reduced fee can be offered to a limited number of attendants only, the organization will rank applications based on the criteria listed below. If you feel you are entitled for a reduced fee, please inform the SSD19 secretariat (ssd19sec@ml.hiroshima-u.ac.jp) by email of your entry by 2515 March 2019 after submitting your abstract.

• Solid state dosimetry is part of your research.
• Your institute is not able to pay the full conference fee and there are no alternative funding possibilities.
• You are first author of a presentation (poster or oral) at the SSD19 conference.
