NEDENSAA NuPNET Collaboration Meeting 2014

10 Sept 2014, 08:00 → 12 Sept 2014, 18:00 Europe/Istanbul

Nizamettin Erduran (Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University)

The NEDENSAA NuPNET project is an effort to pool available resources and on going R&D by various groups throughout Europe with the aim of providing significant improvements in neutron detection. The project is divided in different work packages that cover the various technologies and methods relevant for the improvement of the detection of neutrons. These range from the chemistry for development of new scintillator materials, testing of the new materials as well as the comparison with existing ones, the study of innovative concepts for neutron detection, scintillator readout with SiPM, digital electronics as well as the study of the optimal geometry of the neutron detectors with other detector arrays (such as Ge arrays). In addition, efforts will be made explicitly towards networking and training so that the expertise and technological advances made within the project will be available to all and will reach beyond the lifetime of the project. This is the third meeting of the full NEDENSAA collaboration after the kick-off meeting took place at Madrid the 15th-17th of february 2012 and the second meeting at San Biagio Resort, Catania the 20-22 February 2013. Participating institutions (in a.o.): ATOMKI (Hungary), CEA (France), CIEMAT (Spain), CNRS/IN2P3 (France), IFIC (Spain), INFN (Italy), Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy (Bulgaria), The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Technical University Dresden (Germany), University of Jyvaskyla (Finland), University of Uppsala (Sweden).
