Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets
and Irradiation Facilities
|
Particle accelerators have evolved over the last decades from simple devices to powerful machines and are having an increasingly important impact on research, technology and lifestyle. Today they cover a wide range of applications including Material Science and medical applications. In recent years, requirements from new technological and research applications have emerged and the number of accelerator facilities in operation, being commissioned, designed or planned has significantly increased. Their parameters (such as the beam energy, beam currents and intensities, targets composition, etc.) vary widely giving rise to new radiation shielding aspects and problems.
The activities of the Task Force on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF) are sponsored by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and its Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) and co-sponsored by the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC). The main objectives of the SATIF Meetings are to:
In this context, and on behalf of its Scientific and Organizing Committee, we announce that the Sixth Specialists Meeting on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-6) will take place at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Menlo Park, CA in the USA from April 10-12, 2002. This event is jointly organized by the:
SLAC is located west of the Stanford campus and approximately 33 miles from San Francisco.
Authors should prepare their papers following the instructions provided in:
and provide an electronic version on diskette or CD-ROM at the workshop or send it via e-mail to sartori@nea.fr. Preferred format is WORD. If other formats are used, such as Latex, the Latex file and EPS files used for graphics should be sent as well as a PostScript file. Authors should for good measure provide a Master copy on paper, to make sure all symbols or special characters are correctly treated in the proceedings.
