Particle accelerators have
evolved over
the last decades from simple devices to powerful machines and are
having
an increasingly important impact on research, technology and lifestyle.
Today they cover a wide range of applications including Material
Science
and medical applications. In recent years, requirements from new
technological
and research applications have emerged and the number of accelerator
facilities
in operation, being commissioned, designed or planned has significantly
increased. Their parameters (such as the beam energy, beam currents and
intensities, targets composition, etc.) vary widely giving rise to new
radiation shielding aspects and problems.
The activities of the Task Force on Shielding Aspects of
Accelerators,
Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF) are sponsored by the OECD
Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and its Nuclear Science Committee (NSC)
and co-sponsored by the Radiation
Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) and the Division of
Radiation Science and Technology of the Atomic Society of Japan. The
main objectives
of the SATIF Meetings are to:
- Promote the exchange of information among experts in the
field of
accelerator
shielding and related topics,
- Identify areas where international co-operation can be
fruitful and
- Carry on a program of work in order to achieve progress in
specific
priority
areas.
In this context, and on behalf of its Scientific and
Organizing Committee,
we announce that the Seventh Workshop on Shielding Aspects of
Accelerators,
Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-7) will take place at the ITN
from 17-18 May 2004. This event is jointly organized by the:
ITN is located at
Sacavem
at the East of Lisbon, Portugal.
Paper submission
Authors who's presentation has been accepted by the Executive and
Scientific
Committee of SATIF should prepare their papers following the
instructions
provided in:
and provide an electronic version on diskette or CD-ROM at the workshop
or send it via e-mail to
sartori@oecd-nea.org.
Or by using the
on-line paper
submission form (deadline 6 May 2004).
Preferred format is WORD. If other formats are used, such as Latex, the
Latex file and EPS files used for graphics should be sent as well as a
PostScript file. Authors should for good measure provide a Master copy
on paper, to make sure all symbols or special characters are correctly
treated in the proceedings.
