[institut] Seminar Niskofonske laboratorije - Goran Škoro, 20. novembar, 12 h

[Dejan Joković]

Poštovane koleginice i kolege,

Pozivamo vas na na seminar Niskofonske laboratorije za nuklearnu fiziku, koji 
će biti održan 20. novembra u 12 h u čitaonici "Dr Dragan Popović" Instituta 
za fiziku u Beogradu.

Seminar pod naslovom

2500 days at ISIS (based on a true story)

održaće dr Goran Škoro, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Rutherford Appleton 
Laboratory, UK Research and Innovation, STFC, United Kingdom.

Apstrakt predavanja:

ISIS Neutron and Muon Source based at UK Research and Innovation’s STFC 
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire is a world-leading centre 
for research in the physical and life sciences. It supports a national and 
international community of more than 2000 scientists who use neutrons and 
muons for research in physics, chemistry, materials science, geology, 
engineering, and biology. It currently has a staff of around 400 people who 
support the programme of more than 700 experiments entailing more than 3000 
user days annually. 

The role of nuclear physicist at spallation neutron source, or research 
reactor, or any similar neutron production “factory” is, typically, to: create 
and use the Monte Carlo model of the facility to help the instrument 
scientists to get maximum from their instrumentation; calculate the build-up 
of radionuclide inventories in activated materials; perform robust 
measurements of particle fluxes and radiation dose rates in operational 
environments; prepare the future research and development programmes and, last 
but not least, provide consultancy and advisory support for similar activities 
outside of home organization. 

In this talk, after a short introduction about ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, a 
typical day (averaged over seven years) in the life of a nuclear physicist at 
a spallation neutron source will be described.

Srdačan pozdrav,
Dejan Joković
