Coloquio del CAPA: “Using X-ray optics for nuclear physics applications” .- Jueves 31 de marzo
El jueves 31 de marzo a las 12:00 hora tendrá lugar el coloquio que impartirá Jaime Ruz Armendáriz (Investigador María Zambrano en el CAPA). Se titula "Using X-ray optics for nuclear physics applications". La charla se realizará en el Seminario de Físca Nuclear del edificio A (Físicas) de la Facultad de Ciencias. También se retransmitirá online vía Zoom (consultar el enlace en el código QR del cartel).
Resumen
Direct measurement of plutonium and uranium is a highly desirable non-destructive analysis method for use in reprocessing fuel environments. The high background and
intense radiation from spent fuel make direct measurements difficult to implement since the relatively low activity of uranium and plutonium are masked by the high activity from fission products. Exploiting grazing incidence optics to selectively reflect
K_alpha and K_beta fluorescence of Special Nuclear Materials together into a high-purity position-sensitive germanium detector is a method to overcome this problem.
