(DNP) W3-6 Multiple Facets of Nuclear Science : Evolving Landscapes of nuclear technology | Les multiples facettes de la science nucléaire : Évolution des paysages de la technologie nucléaire (DPN)
- Michael Bradley (University of Saskatchewan)
Description
Multiple Facets of Nuclear Science (DNP) – Nuclear physics plays a key role in advancing nuclear sciences and technologies. Significant investments are made in nuclear research with focus on: Isotope Production and its applications, next-Generation Nuclear Reactors, and environment and Health Sciences. The symposium will highlight Canada’s nuclear innovations, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and engaging emerging professionals in these rapidly growing sectors. The sessions will be multidisciplinary and designed to be accessible to a wide audience with an interest in nuclear topics.
For over five decades, TRIUMF has been at the forefront of accelerator-driven secondary particle production, cementing Canada’s role as a global leader in supplying essential accelerator technology for radioisotopes, neutrons, photons, and muons. These particles power groundbreaking research in nuclear, particle, and astrophysics, as well as solid-state physics and an expanding range of...
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay in liquid Xenon led to the development of a new generation of single photon detectors with deep UV sensitivity and extremely low power consumption. The emergence of digital Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arrays also called digital SiPMs is starting to revolutionize many sensing applications, including high rate neutron detection and even air...
A 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller is designed and fabricated at a 22-nm FD SOI node using Radiation Hardening by Design Techniques. The device features 512 KB of on-board memory and can run at a clock speed of ~300 MHz. The device also supports a rich set of interface options. Using both architectural changes as well as more complex standard cell replacements, the device shows strong reliability...
