Expert Group on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities 

This expert group deals with multiple aspects related to the modelling and design of accelerator shield systems including electron accelerators, proton accelerators, ion accelerators, spallation sources and the following types of facilities: synchrotron radiation facilities; very high energy radiation facilities; accelerator production of tritium; and free electron lasers.

Objectives

The expert groups objectives are to:

  • promote the exchange of information among scientists in this field; 
  • identify areas in which international co-operation could be fruitful; 
  • carry out a programme of work in order to achieve progress in specific priority areas.
The four main categories of accelerator facilities mentioned above are being considered.
