This Special Issue of the Journal of Low-Temperature Physics contains original contributions to the 19th International Workshop on Low-Temperature Detectors (LTD19). The workshop was held from July 19 to July 22, 2021. The local organizing committee was drawn from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the University of Colorado Boulder, Denver University, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. While the intended location for the workshop was in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, because of the Covid19 pandemic, the workshop was entirely virtual.
The International Workshop on Low-Temperature Detectors is held every two years in order to provide developers and users of low-temperature sensors an opportunity to present and discuss new results in the field. Some key statistics for the LTD19 workshop are as follows: about 475 registered participants spanning 17 time zones, 11 industry exhibitors, 11 invited talks, 89 contributed talks, 240 posters, 43 live hours of program material including 31 for oral presentations and 12 for posters, 2 virtual tours of the NIST laboratories, and 4 exhibitor hours. A digital record of the workshop is available here: https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2021/07/19th-international-workshop-low-temperature-detectors-ltd19.
In addition, approximately 160 proceedings manuscripts will be published in this Special Issue. The manuscripts reflect the breadth and vitality of the LTD field. They describe work on device science, instrument development, supporting technologies, and the wide and growing range of LTD applications. All the manuscripts were reviewed by two anonymous referees selected from within the LTD field. The editors thank the authors, the many selfless manuscript reviewers, and the staff of Springer and JLTP, especially Journal Editor Paul Leiderer, for their work to produce this Special Issue.
The organization of LTD19 would not have been possible without the efforts of the Local Organizing Committee, the session chairs, the staff of NIST Conference Services including Rachel Trello, Pauline Truong, and Gladys Arrisueno, and the staff of Sidem Group, especially Mark Gifford. We would also like to thank the members of the LTD International Advisory Committee, especially Angelo Nucciotti, for sharing their experiences from previous LTDs.
