Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

McMaster University is home to a unique suite of facilities in a Canadian university environment, welcoming researchers from across Canada and abroad. In addition to Canada’s most powerful nuclear research reactor, the McMaster Nuclear Reactor, McMaster University is the location of six particle accelerators which enable experimental programs in non-invasive assessment of biological...

Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Sources (CANS) offer the possibility of an intense source of pulsed neutrons with a capital cost significantly lower than spallation sources. A prototype, Canadian compact accelerator-based neutron source (PC-CANS) is proposed for installation at the University of Windsor. The PC-CANS is envisaged to serve two neutron science instruments, a boron neutron...

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) provides high sensitivity measurements (typically at or below 1 part in 10${}^{12}$) for rare, long-lived radioisotopes. These high sensitivities are achieved when isobars, elements with the same atomic weight as the isotope of interest, are eliminated. AMS laboratories use established techniques to suppress interfering isobars of some light isotopes. However,...
