Neutron Detectors and Related Applications – NDRA 2016

Europe/Rome
Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy

Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy

Description
The aim of the school is to illustrate principles, methodologies and most recent applications of neutron detection technologies. In particular, the school will tackle various arguments that span from neutron interaction principles, materials for neutrons detectors, neutron sources, Monte Carlo simulation codes, up to applications with neutrons. The school is addressed to PhD students, Post-Docs and young researchers with backgrounds in Engineering and Physics.
