This School focuses on materials response to irradiation, covering a range of fields from space electronics to nuclear materials and radiotherapies. The event is co-sponsored by the Marie-Curie Actions MAMBA Project

Topics

The School is aimed at developing experimental and theoretical understanding of materials response to irradiation, of experimental and computational tools, and their application to control the properties of materials exposed to intense radiation environments. Areas of interest include:

• Space electronics and photovoltaics
• Radiation-resistant materials and nanostructures
• Radiation detectors
• Hadron radiotherapy and space radiobiology
• Nuclear decommissioning
• Nuclear fusion
• Accelerator technologies
• Stopping powers
• Computational methods
• Safe analysis strategies of heritage objects
