Introduction

The International Conferences on Calorimetry in High Energy Physics (also known as the Calor Conference series, started in October 1990 at Fermilab) address all aspects of calorimetric particle detection and measurement, with emphasis in high energy physics experiments. Before that in 1975 a workshop on calorimetry in high energy physics was held already at Fermilab because at that time about thirty percent of electronic experiments utilized calorimeters. Today experiments without calorimeters are the exception, and besides particle physics, low and medium energy calorimetry, applications in neutrino physics, astrophysics and medicine are commonly covered by the Calor Conferences.

Usually the conferences were organized in plenary sessions, starting with overviews on the role of calorimetry in physics researches, and followed by several regular sessions addressed on one or more specific topic of interest. Examples of topics presented and discussed during the conferences are: calorimeter performances with respect to energy, space, and time measurements, along with issues regarding particle identification, calorimetry with crystals, ionization calorimetry, calorimetry with organic scintillators, Cherenkov calorimetry, trigger, front-end electronics, data acquisition, calibration and monitoring, radiation hardness, radiation damage, simulation of calorimeter performances, MonteCarlo tools and simulations, low and medium energy calorimetry techniques, neutrinos and calorimetry, calorimeters for astrophysical facilities, calorimetry for geophysical and medical applications.

This web site would represent a digest and repository of the Calor Conferences that took place till now. Our web compilation contains the basic information about each congress (like the International Advisory Committee, Local Organizing Committees, session conveners, organizing and sponsoring Institutions, link to the original web-page of the conference, proceedings information, poster when available). In particular programs of the conferences containing all the original slides of the presentations are also reported here (usually in pdf/ppt formats, only for the last congresses). A reserved-access area for the Calor IAC is available as well.  SC & PL.
