  1. 620. Evaluation of SiPM Arrays and Use for Radioactivity Detection and Monitoring
    Andrei Semenov

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are novel photo sensorss that are needed for many applications in a broad range of fields. The advantages of such detectors are that they feature low bias ($<$100V) operation, high gain (10$^5$ to 10$^6$), insensitivity to magnetic fields, excellent photon detection efficiency (PDE), and the ability to operate in field conditions over a range of...

    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    A neutron generator facility under development at Simon Fraser University (SFU) utilizes a commercial deuterium- tritium neutron generator (Thermo Scientific P 385) to produce 14.2 MeV neutrons at a nominal rate of $3\times10^8$ neutrons/s. The facility will be used to produce radioisotopes to support a research program including nuclear structure studies and neutron activation...

    Zinc is a crucial element needed for many processes in the human body. It is essential for enzymatic activity and many cellular processes, such as cell division. A zinc deficiency can lead to problems with the immune system, birth defects, and blindness. This problem is especially important to address in developing countries where nutrition is limited. Supplements can be taken to increase the...

  4. 897. The 2018 Shutdown of the NRU Reactor
    Dr John Root (Canadian Neutron Beam Centre)
    15/06/2015, 14:45
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The federal government recently announced its decision to shut down the NRU reactor in 2018. The National Research Universal (NRU) reactor commenced operation in 1957, to provide neutrons for several missions simultaneously, including the production of neutron beams to support fundamental experimental research on solids and liquids, advancing knowledge of condensed matter physics. Today, the...
