EFNUDAT - Slow and Resonance Neutrons, Scientific workshop on Nuclear Data Measurements, Theory and Applications September 22, 2009

On behalf of the Local Organizer Committee, it is my pleasure to inform you that Institute of Isotopes, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (II HAS or IKI) hosts the next EFNUDAT scientific workshop entitled:

EFNUDAT – Slow and Resonance Neutrons, Scientific workshop on Nuclear Data Measurements, Theory and Applications

The workshop will take place in Hotel Normafa, Budapest, Hungary from 23 to 25 September 2009.

The workshop is organised with the support of the EU FP6 I3 European Facilities for Nuclear Data Measurements (EFNUDAT) project. The aim of the EFNUDAT Integrated Infrastructure Initiative project is to integrate European facilities for nuclear data measurements and to provide trans-national access to the facilities.

While the major objective of the EFNUDAT collaboration is the invesigation of nuclear reactions with neutrons of different energies, from cold to fast, this workshop will focus on nuclear data measurements using slow and resonance neutrons, their applications to the development of nuclear reactors, their waste managements and the development of theoretical models of excitation and deexcitation. Presentations of facilities, experimental setups, and new data acquisition systems are also welcome.

Topics

• Measurements of slow and resonance neutron capture cross sections


• New results for fuel, waste and structural materials


• Detection techniques


• Facilities and simulation of experimental setups


• Targets for capture experiments


• Theory of slow and resonance neutron capture


• Role of slow and resonance neutron cross sections in transmutation


• Simulation of de-excitation process

The workshop is meant to stimulate intensive exchange of knowledge and ideas. Invited international experts will provide overview of the main topics. Participating post-doctoral fellows and PhD students are encouraged to present their works.

Scientific program will include invited talks, oral and poster sessions.

Oral presentations are 45 minutes for invited speakers and 25 minutes for other oral contributors. The Program Advisory Committee will inform participants about the oral or poster presentations.

Important dates:

• 7 September, 2009: Extended Deadline for abstracts

• 7 September, 2009: Extended Deadline for Notification for authors

• 7 September, 2009: Extended Deadline for registration. We may not be able to provide room reservation at Normafa Hotel for late ragistration.
