The Nuclear Energy Agency is a platform for international cooperation, analysis and joint action with 34 member countries that comprise the most extensive expertise in the development, application, and regulation of nuclear technologies. As such, the NEA is focusing much of its efforts on understanding the need for issues facing the deployment of advanced nuclear energy technologies to...
Early studies of the photoconductive properties of materials eventually led to an understanding of the solid-state and particularly of a new class of materials – the semiconductors. Their sheer number and diversity of properties give rise to a wide range of sensitivities covering almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum − from terahertz to gamma-ray wavelengths. The application of...
The usage of protons or even heavier particles like energetic carbon ions for radiation therapy was proposed 75 years ago by Robert R. Wilson. Since then, pioneering developments and applications have been pursued for several decades at several specialized institutions hosting powerful accelerators for beam production. With the advent of first hospital-based facilities in the 1990s, ion...
