The 25^th International Symposium on Room-Temperature Semiconductor Detectors (RTSD) represents the largest forum of scientists and engineers developing new solid-state radiation detectors and imaging arrays. Room-temperature semiconductor radiation detectors are finding increasing applications in such diverse fields as medicine, homeland security, astrophysics and environmental remediation. The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for discussion of the state-of-the-art of the detector technology, including materials improvement, material and device characterizations, fabrication, electronics and applications. To provide a comprehensive review, oral and poster presentations representing a broad spectrum of research and development activities emphasizing room-temperature-operating semiconductor detectors or imaging devices are sought. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts on original work in the following RTSD-related areas:

• Spectroscopic detectors and systems
• Crystal Growth
• Semiconductor materials for radiation detectors
• Pixel and strip detectors
• Material characterization
• Electrical contacts and device fabrication technology
• Radiation Damage, Long-Term Stability and Environmental Effects
• Organic and other Photoconductive Materials for Radiation Detection
• Semiconductor Neutron Detectors
• Electronics
• Imaging systems and applications
• Spectrometer Systems for Homeland Security, Nuclear Inspections, Safeguards, Portal Monitoring, and Other Uses
