Description
 
Theme : Application of radiation and related modes of detection

This two-day workshop is focussed on the application of radiation in varied avenues of social and academic life. Motivation of the present programme is to make the M.Sc students and young researchers aware of the scope of this field of study. The workshop consists of invited plenary talks alongwith panel discussion and experimental demonstration.


1) Understanding basic Nuclear properties --
  • Radiation types and Detection
  • Recent High Energy physics experiments at CERN
  • Low energy nuclear physics experiments: Accelerator centres, Radiation labs

2) Probing the origin and composition of the Universe --
  • Detection and measurement of cosmic and galactic radiation
  • Search for dark matter and dark energy
      
3) Emerging tools for Material characterization --
  • Synchrontron radiation
  • Neutron Scattering

4) Nuclear medicine --
  • PET,  SPECT  Imaging
  • Ion-beam therapy

5) Dosimetry and Radiation Safety
