Workshop on Neutrino Detection for Nuclear Monitoring : 30 Oct-1 Nov 2007

在利用反中微子探测的实际应用来防止扩散方面，特别是在反应堆监测方面，以及在地球物理方面，通过测绘地球，已经取得了重大进展。地核、地壳和地幔。尽管取得了这些显著的成就，但这些相互关联的社区只有适度的重叠。因此，应用和基础反中微子物理学领域缺乏一个总体战略，无法有效利用每个利益相关者提供的资源和优势。本次研讨会旨在为基础和应用反中微子物理界之间的利益战略结盟奠定基础。研讨会记者将总结当前反中微子探测的最新进展；技术和应用，以及参与者将密切合作，为整个社区的合作研究创造一个环境。此外，参与者将研究建立一个类似于太空望远镜科学研究所或先进光子源的国家中微子研究中心（NCNS）的可行性。用户社区成员将被邀请参加研讨会，并将被要求描述他们在全国范围内使用中微子探测设备的愿景，以便在全球范围内整合它们的使用。这些愿景将由美国中微子科学界与会者提供的对反中微子物理学内在的前景和局限性的清晰理解提供信息。这次研讨会的重要性在于将不同的多学科科学家团体联合起来，共同致力于反中微子探测研究和应用。讲习班的一个目标是在这些领域之间建立更牢固的联系。为了充分了解反中微子频谱的各种组成部分并正确识别信号的来源，这一步是必要的。

Significant progress has been made in exploiting the practical utility of antineutrino detection for nonproliferation purposes, in particular, reactor monitoring, and for geophysics purposes, by mapping the earth?s core, crust, and mantle. Despite these remarkable successes, these inter-related communities have had only modest overlap. As a result, the fields of applied and basic antineutrino physics lack an overarching strategy that would allow efficient exploitation of the resources and strengths provided by each stakeholder. This workshop aims to develop the basis for such a strategic alignment of interests between the fundamental and applied antineutrino physics communities. Workshop reporters will summarize the state of the art in current antineutrino detection; technologies and applications, and participants will work intensively to create an environment for collaborative research across the community. Further, participants will examine the practicality of establishing a National Center for Neutrino Study (NCNS) similar in nature to the Space Telescope Science Institute or the Advanced Photon Source. User community members will be invited to participate in the workshop and will be asked to describe their vision of utilizing neutrino detection devices nationally with the intent to integrate their use globally. These visions will be informed by a clear understanding of the prospects and limitations intrinsic in antineutrino physics provided by the US neutrino science community attendees. The importance of this workshop will be to unite disparate groups of multi-disciplinary scientists with shared goals in antineutrino detection research and applications. A goal of the workshop is to develop stronger bonds of communications between these fields. This step is necessary in order to fully understand the various the components of an antineutrino spectrum and identify correctly the sources of the signal.
