Inertial Confinement

Short Talk

The use of streak cameras in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and generally in laser-matter interaction experiments dates back to the 1960s. Nowadays such instruments can provide accurate time-resolved information about the evolution of laser-generated of plasma plumes.
Converting the streaked image in quantitative data about plasma parameters, such as plasma density and temperature,...

97. Novel techniques of imaging interferometry analysis to study gas and plasma density for laser-plasma experiments

Francesco Filippi (ENEA)

Inertial Confinement

Short Talk

Laser-plasma based experiments is always more demanding about the plasma characteristics which need to be generated during the interaction. This is valid for laser-plasma acceleration as well as for inertial confinement fusion experiments. Most of these experiments are moving toward high repetition rate operation regimes, making even more demanding the requests on the plasma sources and the...

102. Gamma radiation in Cultural Heritage preservation: research activities at the Calliope gamma irradiation facility (ENEA Casaccia R.C., Rome, Italy)

Beatrice D'Orsi (ENEA, Nuclear Department, Casaccia R.C., Rome, Italy)

Cultural Heritage

Short Talk

Ionizing radiation has been used globally for decades across various fields, including industry, medicine, food, agriculture, and environmental science, as well as in space and nuclear applications. One notable use is in Cultural Heritage (CH) preservation, where gamma rays, X-rays and electrons can be successfully used to disinfect and disinfest historical materials (e.g., paper, parchment,...

103. Advanced diagnostic techniques for reading the carbonised Herculaneum papyri

Sofia Ceccarelli (CNR ISPC)

Cultural Heritage

Short Talk

The discovery of hundreds of carbonised papyri in the 18th century in the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum opened new insights into the knowledge of ancient philosophy and, at the same time, an important and global technical challenge in unrolling and reading them. The rolls underwent several chemical and mechanical treatments aimed at their unrolling, often compromising their preservation....

Environmental Application and Medical Diagnostics

Short Talk

To efficiently control and monitor the usage of D2O is of paramount importance in many research domains. In the biomedical field, D2O detection is essential for metabolic studies and tracing water in biological tissues, providing new tools for medical and clinical research. In the nuclear sector, monitoring D2O is crucial for controlling fission processes since it is used both as coolant and...

105. The combination of HotSpot code and MATLAB to simulate radiological dispersions and evaluate solutions to protect the population

Environmental Application and Medical Diagnostics

Short Talk

We are surrounded by emergencies; the past and new threats push researchers to find innovative solutions to increase the safety of the population and the security of the environment. In this paper, the authors will use the HotSpot ~ Health Physics Codes for the PC to simulate two different scenarios’ (and several case studies related). The first scenario is constituted by simulations of...

106. ANALYSIS OF THE METHODS FOR HUMAN-INDUCED EVENTS RISK EVALUATION FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES LIKE ENERGY PRODUCTION PLANTS BASED ON NUCLEAR REACTIONS

Environmental Application and Medical Diagnostics

Short Talk

As the world seeks sustainable and low-carbon energy sources, nuclear fusion has emerged as a promising solution with its potential to generate vast amounts of clean energy as well as nuclear fission is considered by many countries that closed the nuclear fission programs many years ago like Italy. This study analyses the methods for risk evaluation of fusion and fission plants (approached...

76. Exploitation of neutron spectroscopy measurements for assessment of DT fusion power without in-vessel calibration

Letizia Giulietta Tedoldi

Fusion Products

Short Talk

Neutron measurements are of crucial importance for nowadays nuclear fusion plasma experiments, even more for the forthcoming DT fusion reactors. In particular, neutron diagnostics are a key tool for measuring the fusion power which is a primary parameter to evaluate the fusion performance. Historically, fusion power measurements are based on counting the neutrons with fission chambers or...
