R. Hajima named APS Outstanding Referee
Posted on 2017年3月2日
Dr. Ryoichi Hajima, Leader of the research project, has been named Outstanding Referees by the American Physical Society (APS) for 2017.
APS has selected 150 Outstanding Referees for 2017 that have demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals. A full list of the Outstanding Referees is available online.
Instituted in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program annually recognizes approximately 150 of the currently active referees for their invaluable work. Comparable to Fellowship in the APS and other organizations, this is a lifetime award. The selection this year was made from 30 years of records on over 57,000 referees who have been called upon to review manuscripts, including more then 35,000 that were submitted in 2016. The basis for the Outstanding Referees selection takes into account the quality, number and timeliness of a referee’s reports, without regard for membership in the APS, country of origin, or field of research.
Announcement of Nuclear Photonics 2016
Posted on 2016年4月21日
Today, we distributed the first announcement of Nuclear Photonics 2016.
The conference is organized to have discussion and communication on “Nuclear Photonics”, which is a new research field opened by high-brightness gamma-ray beams.
R. Hajima serves as one of the conference chairs.
For detail information, please visit the Conference site: http://www.nuclearphotonics2016.org
On behalf of the organizers, sponsors and program committee, we would like to invite you to attend Nuclear Photonics 2016 which will be held from October 16th through 21st of this year at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa in Monterey, California.
Nuclear Photonics 2016 is intended to be the first in a biennial international series of meetings devoted specifically to the pursuit of photon-based nuclear science and applications, i.e. nuclear photonics. This exciting field of study is being enabled by the development of ultra-bright, tunable gamma-ray sources based on laser-Compton scattering and by the establishment of international, laser user facilities with systems capable of reaching highly-relativistic intensities and of enabling photo-nuclear interactions. The investment worldwide in technology and facilities of relevance to nuclear photonics now exceeds several billion US dollars.
Topics of interest to the 2016 meeting include but are not limited to
– Compton gamma-ray sources and related accelerator technologies
– Ultrahigh intensity lasers and related optical technologies
– NRF-based, isotope-specific materials detection, assay and imaging
– Production and photo-excitation of isomers
– Photo-fission and nuclear transmutation
– Ultra-relativistic laser-matter interactions and QED effects
– Production and characterization of rare isotopes
– Photon-enabled nuclear cosmology
– Advances in gamma-ray monochromators, optics and detectors
– Photon-based beams of positrons, neutrons, electrons, protons etc.
– Potential industrial, security, energy and medical applications
The meeting structure for NP 2016 will include communal meals to facilitate interactions between participants and a trade exhibit to enable interactions with vendors of importance to the growth of the community. Important dates and logistics information may be found on the conference web site
