22. High-lights of solid state physics at ISOLDE

Dr Ulrich Wahl (Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear)

11/10/2005, 15:45

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies

Invited oral contribution

Solid state physics at ISOLDE aims at the study of the structural, electrical, optical, magnetic and transport properties related to impurities in a variety of technologically and fundamentally relevant materials, including semiconductors, metals, high-Tc superconductors and ceramic oxides. Rather than providing an extensive overview of the complete solid state physics activities at...

23. New developments in solid state physics using radioactive ions

Prof. Hans Christian Hofsäß (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen)

11/10/2005, 16:10

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies

Invited oral contribution

Radioactive probe atoms in solids have proven to be unique sensors for internal magnetic and electrical fields and markers to study diffusion phenomena, impurity lattice sites and optical properties of impurity atoms. In contrast to conventional solid state methods applied to study magnetism and structural properties, the use of radioactive probes as sensors of internal fields is...

24. Life sciences at ISOLDE

Prof. Tilman Butz (University of Leipzig)

11/10/2005, 16:35

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies

Invited oral contribution

The understanding of the function of metalloproteins and metal-containing enzymes is usually based on the detailed knowledge of the structure of these macromolecules obtained by X-ray diffraction. In many cases, crystals of sufficient quality are not available and one has to rely on spectroscopy such as, e.g., Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) or Electron Paramagnetic Resonance EPR)....

25. Medical Applications of radioactive ion beams

Invited oral contribution

27. Nuclear data needed to develop new nuclear systems, role of n_TOF facilities to measure resonance cross sections and nuclear data needs of thorium fuel cycle

Prof. SRINIVASAN GANESAN (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre)

11/10/2005, 17:45

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies

Invited oral contribution

The development of Accelerator Driven Sub-critical Systems proposed by Carlo Rubbia and others require significant amount of new nuclear data in extended energy regions and significant improvement of the presently available nuclear data. The ADSS concepts have given a fresh look at the use of thorium fuel cycle in a lead-bismuth coolant environment. The nuclear data of isotopes of...

28. Neutronic requirements for fusion relevant reactor material irradiations

Dr Ulrich Fischer (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe)

11/10/2005, 18:10

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies

Invited oral contribution

The need to develop and qualify materials that can withstand the high radiation and heat loadings anticipated for a fusion reactor is a key problem in the development of fusion as a future energy source. No appropriate materials test facility is available at present to properly simulate a fusion neutron radiation field and investigate the effect of the resulting radiation damage and...

26. Link between fundamental and applied research in the field of nuclear data

Prof. Jan Blomgren (Uppsala University)

11/10/2005, 18:35

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies

Invited oral contribution

Recently, a large number of applications involving high-energy neutrons have become important. Accelerator-driven systems (ADS) for transmutation of spent nuclear fuel and nuclear weapons materials, fast-neutron cancer therapy, dose effects to the crew onboard aircraft due to cosmic-ray neutrons, as well as electronics failures induced by atmospheric neutrons have all got increasing...
