IFAST Accelerator Imaging Kick-off

10 Jan 2022, 14:00 → 11 Jan 2022, 18:00 Europe/London

Zoom

This meeting is the kick-off meeting of an IFAST sub-task which sets up a network working on accelerator based imaging. This sub-task will explore innovation in the use of particle beams for imaging, in particular in the security and medical areas. The applications to be studied are X-ray cargo scanning and non-destructive testing,  neutron sources for non-destructive testing, proton radiography, ion beam analysis, and compact Compton sources.
