Nuclear Science Symposium

October 30 – November 3, 2006

The Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) offers an outstanding opportunity for scientists and engineers interested or actively working in the fields of nuclear science, radiation instrumentation, software and their applications, to meet and discuss with colleagues from around the world. The program emphasizes the latest developments in technology and instrumentation and their implementation in experiments for space, accelerators, other radiation environments, and homeland security. Topical Workshops cover areas of specific interest. Within the framework of an educational scientific program, Short Courses are organized, focusing on topics of interest for the scientific community. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original unpublished works in the topics area listed below:

  • Instrumentation for Homeland Security
  • Analog and Digital Circuits
  • Detectors and Electronics for the SNS
  • Astrophysics and Space Instrumentation
  • Data Acquisition and Analysis Systems
  • Environmental Health and Safety Instrumentation
