Recent Advances and Current Trends in Industrial Accelerators

Although industrial accelerators make up the vast majority of accelerators produced globally, their core designs have seen little innovation in recent decades. Today, however, a wave of emerging applications from advanced non-destructive testing and next-generation security systems to cutting-edge medical, environmental, and food irradiation technologies is driving the demand for a new class of accelerators. These modern needs call for compact, efficient, and more powerful systems that go beyond the capabilities of conventional machines. In this talk, we will overview the current landscape of industrial accelerators, highlight emerging applications and market needs, and discuss the novel developments that are reshaping the future of this industry.

The search for freshly synthesized radionuclides from stellar explosions on Earth

Stars are the element factories of the universe. Stellar explosions distribute freshly synthesized radionuclides in the interstellar medium and lead to the chemical enrichment of galaxies. These cataclysmic events moreover shape the interstellar medium and form large scale structures in the universe.Â Live radionuclides ejected by these explosions are the fingerprints of stellar nucleosynthesis. The direct detection of them on Earth and the Moon helps to constrain nucleosynthesis models as well as interstellar medium dynamics near the solar system.Â In this presentation, I will give an overview of successful interstellar radionuclide detections on Earth and the Moon using the single atom-counting technique Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). The investigated radionuclides, 60Fe from core-collapse supernovae as well as 244Pu and 247Cm from the r-process shed light on million year old supernova activity near Earth, recent deposition of stardust on Earth from the Complex of Local Interstellar Clouds (CLIC) and constrain the timing and source of the last r-process event in the Milky Way. Future measurement campaigns for additional radionuclides such as 26Al, 53Mn or 182Hf are foreseen.Â Professional Webpage: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominik-koll-ams/ Group Webpage: www.hzdr.de/amsÂ

First Workshop on New Generations of Detector and Data Acquisition Systems for Nuclear Physics (NEXTGENDD)

We hope that NEXTGENDD can be an effective stage for experts to to discuss the status and the future directions of R&D for Nuclear Physics for detectors and data acquisition systems. Ideally, the workshop will be an environment to further strengthen the existing collaborations between FRIB and international laboratories and possibly create new ones.
