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.

Host: Artur Dubrawski (awd at cs.cmu.edu)
Appointments: Karen Widmaier (krw at andrew.cmu.edu)

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