[ RadSafe ] Applied Computations and Modeling in Nuclear Science

[Strom, Daniel J]

Dear All,

Attached please find the brochure for the American Chemical Society
(ACS) Symposium on Applied Computations and Modeling in Nuclear Science,
August 28-September 1, 2004 in Washington, DC. The symposium is
sponsored by the ACS, the American Nuclear Society, and the Health
Physics Society. As one of the co-organizers, I encourage you to submit
a paper for presentation at this symposium. Please feel free to forward
this information.

Tentative topics include 

1. Statistical aspects of radioactivity, such as uncertainties,
detection limits, novel statistics.
2. Radiation transport methods (Monte Carlo and deterministic), and
nuclear data evaluations.
3. Calculating of the response and theoretical designing of radiation
detectors.
4. Spectral deconvolution and fitting: alpha, beta, gamma spectroscopy.
5. Calculations of chemical structure and reactions involving
radionuclides.
6. Transport models of radioactive contaminants in the environment.
7. Health physics calculations: dosimetry and risk assessment.
8. Medical radiation physics calculations: radiotherapy and imaging.
9. Nuclear sensing: modeling of well logging and gauges.
10. Computers in nuclear science laboratory, QA/QC, LIMS, etc.
11. Novel and sophisticated methods of nuclear data analysis.
12. Nuclear modeling of interest to counter-terrorism.
13. Novel computational algorithms of interest to applied nuclear
science.
