Date/Time: Wed 2011-06-08 at 14:00

Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Joe Mildenberger (TRIUMF)

Title:     Alpha detection for radiological monitoring at TRIUMF

Abstract: TRIUMF has been irradiating uranium targets in ISAC since 2008, requiring the Radiation Protection Group to have the capability of detecting and identifying alpha emitting nuclides in order to perform hazard assessments for accessing beamlines and detectors, and for quantifying emissions estimates. The talk will describe the various detectors in our arsenal, how they work, and how we deploy them. In addition, I will describe some of the things we think we have learned from the radiological data collected during and after uranium target irradiations.
