Reminder: Auton Lab seminar on Wednesday November 5th, NSH 3305 at 1:30pm, with Kai Vetter

[Artur Dubrawski]

Team,

Please check that you have this talk on your calendars.

Also, please let me and Karen W. know if you'd like to meet with our 
guest one-on-one.
We still have some slots open on his schedule.

Cheers,
Artur

> Title:
> New Concepts in Nuclear Radiation Detection Relevant for Research and 
> Security -- Challenges and Opportunities for Autonomous Systems and 
> Multi-Sensor Fusion
>
> Speaker:
> Kai Vetter
> Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of California, Berkeley
> Applied Nuclear Physics, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
>
> Abstract:
> Recent developments in the detector fabrication, signal readout, and 
> data processing enable new concepts in radiation detection that are 
> relevant for applications ranging from fundamental physics to medicine 
> and nuclear security.
> I will review some examples of recent efforts in our Berkeley Applied 
> Nuclear Physics program on these technical developments and how they 
> are mapped to questions in basic sciences, biomedical imaging, and 
> nuclear security.
> The presentation will focus on the opportunities and challenges in 
> fusing nuclear radiation with contextual and environmental data. 
> Examples for applications include contamination assessment and mapping 
> in Fukushima in Japan, emergency response and consequence management, 
> detection, as well monitoring, for example of nuclear processes inside 
> facilities. Not only need the sensitivity for nuclear signatures be 
> increased, they need to be correlated with contextual and 
> environmental information to enable the sensitivity and information 
> needed to act or to plan and guide operations, sometimes in realtime.

> Place and time: NSH 3305, 1:30pm Wednesday, November 5th.
