Ninth Symposium on Neutron Dosimetry

描述（由申请人提供）：第九届中子剂量学研讨会正在组织中，旨在为放射物理学、放射治疗学、放射生物学、辐射防护和其他涉及中子的研究领域的专家提供一个信息交流论坛。此外，还将讨论放射治疗和放射生物学中使用的其他核粒子的剂量学。 会议记录将在会议结束后一年内在一份国际科学杂志上发表。 研讨会的地点是荷兰德尔夫特的德尔夫特理工大学。 该项目的目的是为美国调查人员参加专题讨论会提供旅行支助。 正在向欧洲联盟委员会研究总司请求为专题讨论会提供主要财政支助。 研讨会的执行科学委员会和国际项目委员会将挑选几名美国研究人员就各自领域的最新技术作主题报告。 此外，还将为几名年轻的美国调查人员的旅行提供资助，为他们提供与许多国际专家互动的机会。 该项目的目标是帮助传播美国的研究成果，并鼓励美国研究人员与其他国家研究人员之间的互动。 在研讨会上介绍的研究成果将集中在中子辐射在医疗保健和健康保护中的安全使用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Ninth Symposium on Neutron Dosimetry is being organized to provide a forum for information exchange among experts in radiological physics, radiation therapy, radiobiology, radiation protection and other studies involving neutrons, In addition, the dosimetry of other nuclear particles used in radiation therapy and radiobiology will be addressed. The proceeding of the symposium will be published in an international scientific journal within one year after the symposium. The venue of the symposium is the Delft University of Technology in Delft, The Netherlands. The objective of this project is to provide support for the travel of U.S. investigators to the symposium. Primary financial support for the symposium is being requested from the European Commission, Research Directorate-General. The Executive Scientific Committee and the International Program Committee for the symposium will select several U.S. investigators to make keynote presentations on the state-of-the-art in their respective fields. Awards will also be made to support the travel of several young U.S. investigators, providing them with an opportunity to interact with many international experts. The goal of this project is to help disseminate the results of U.S. research and to encourage interactions among U.S. researchers and those from other countries. The research results to be presented at the symposium will focus on the safe use of neutron radiation in health care and health protection.
