ISRP 12
12th International Symposium on Radiation Physics
07 to 12 October 2012 - Rio de Janeiro - RJ
SIDE EVENT
Workshop On Radioprotection Dosimetry
04 and 05 October 2012 - São Paulo - SP
Overview
12th International Symposium on Radiation Physics
The meeting will be held in Rio de Janeiro at Instituto Militar de Engenharia - IME. The site of the event is situated on Praia Vermelha, Urca. The place is well served by public transportation within the city and offers convenient access to the International Airport. Transportation by bus from and to the main hotels and strategic points of the city will be provided by the organization
The aim of ISRP-12 is to provide a forum for the discussion of developments and applications encompassing, but not limited to:
- Fundamental processes in radiation physics
- Quantitative photon and particle analytical techniques
- Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy (XAFS, XANES, XRF, Raman…)
- Radiation Sources and detectors
- Simulation codes and radiation transport
- Application to material science
- Medical and biomedical applications
- Applications to space, earth and environmental sciences
- Cultural heritage and art
- New technologies and industrial applications
- Radiation physics and Nuclear fuel cycle
The ISRP12 shall include a Joint Session with the International Commission on XAFS (CXAFS) from the International Union of Crystallography which links up to both XAFS and development and applications together with the fundamental physics and chemistry underlying XAFS and XANES. It will deal also with contributions from Crystallography, Data Deposition, and other areas of interest to the radiation Physics Community and IUCr.
Accepted papers will be published in electronic media (CD or pen-drive) and distributed to every participant. The papers can also be submitted to publication in a special edition of Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
The meeting will include plenary talks, progress reports, hot topics and poster presentations. ISRP-12 will consist of both oral and poster sessions. The oral sessions will include invited and contributed papers. The latter will be selected by the Scientific Programme Committee among the poster submissions whose authors indicate their preference for oral presentation. A prize for the best young researcher paper presented orally will be given.
A local social program will be organized for participants and accompanying persons that will enhance their visit to Rio, recognized as “one of the world's most beautiful cities”, and we invite you to share our rich and diverse culture during your visit. Participants may also choose to take the opportunity to visit other regions in Brazil before or after the Symposium.
Workshop On Radioprotection Dosimetry
A Workshop on Radioprotection Dosimetry will be held from Thursday 04 and Friday 05 October 2012 at the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute, in São Paulo.
Transportation by bus from São Paulo to Rio will be provided by the organization of ISRP12. We recommend to participants of abroad that will attend the Symposium and the Workshop to buy air tickets arriving in São Paulo and departing from Rio.
