Joint ICTP-IAEA Workshop on Nuclear Structure and Decay Data: Experiment, Theory and Evaluation

Description

The workshop offers an introduction to evaluated nuclear structure and decay data, by providing an overview of experimental and theoretical nuclear techniques and basic hands-on training in the evaluation procedures employed to produce the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF).

Reliable evaluated nuclear structure and decay data are of vital importance for basic nuclear physics and astrophysics, as well as for applications in the fields of energy, cultural heritage, environment, human health and space exploration. The worldwide requirements for nuclear structure and decay data are catered by the international network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (NSDD) Evaluators, an international group of evaluators created in 1974 under the auspices of the IAEA. The main output of this network is the online ENSDF database and publications in Nuclear Data Sheets.

This workshop belongs to a series of ICTP workshops that started in 2003. It has been instrumental in attracting young nuclear scientists to nuclear structure and decay data evaluation and providing them with the basic tools to pursue this activity.

Topics:

Nuclear experimental techniques
Nuclear structure theory
XUNDL compilation
ENSDF evaluation methodology, procedures and formats
Analysis and utility codes
Editors and Web tools
Databases and online retrieval software

Call for Papers: A session will be held for participants to present their own research related to nuclear structure and decay data. Please upload a one-page abstract directly to the on-line application. (Please upload file attachments in .pdf)

Prerequisite: Applicants should hold at least a Master’s Degree (M.Sc.) in Nuclear Physics.

Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
