Général

school on models in support of nuclear data will be organized by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in collaboration with the SCK CEN Academy for Nuclear Science and Technology.

The school will be held at the premises of the EC-JRC Geel (Retieseweg 111, 2440 Geel, Belgium) from May 9-13, 2022.

The course focuses on the production of evaluated nuclear data related to the nuclear fission process.

This school receives funding from the Horizon 2020 Euratom research and training programme under grant agreement No 847552 (SANDA).

Sujets

The school is divided in three parts:

  • Experimental
    • Measurements of fission fragment characteristics;
    • Measurements of prompt fission neutrons and gamma rays;
    • Measurements of neutron induced fission cross sections.
  • Theoretical
    • Nuclear fission modelling with FIFRELIN and others;
    • Theoretical models for neutron induced fission cross sections;
    • Intra Nuclear Cascade model.
  • Applications
    • Production of radionuclides for medical applications;
    • Nuclear data in support to the development of MYRRHA;
    • Nuclear data for characterization of spent nuclear fuel and nuclear materials.

Groupe cible

The target audience are young researchers, which can be master students, PhD students or early-stage postdocs.

Connaissances nécessaires

A basic knowledge of nuclear physics is required.

Préparation

The school will include a session to allow master students, PhD students and early-stage postdocs to orally present their work in 15 minutes.

Please send your oral presentation to academy [at] sckcen [dot] be (academy[at]sckcen[dot]be) before May 2, 2022.

Résultats de l'apprentissage

Upon successful completion of this winter school, participants will be able to

In terms of knowledge:

  • Explain how measurements of nuclear fission can be done and what observables can be measured;
  • Explain the nuclear models used in nuclear fission and know their limitations;
  • Understand how measurements and modeling combined lead to high-quality nuclear evaluated data files for fission.

In terms of attitude:

  • Have a critical mind set on the quality of evaluated nuclear data files related to fission.
