Ninth Symposium on Neutron Dosimetry

描述(申请人提供)：正在组织第九届中子剂量学研讨会，为放射物理学、放射治疗、放射生物学、辐射防护和其他涉及中子的研究的专家之间提供一个信息交流的论坛，此外，还将讨论用于放射治疗和放射生物学的其他核粒子的剂量学问题。会议纪要将在会议结束后一年内在一份国际科学期刊上发表。研讨会的地点是荷兰代尔夫特的代尔夫特理工大学。该项目的目的是为参加研讨会的美国调查人员的旅行提供支持。正在向欧洲委员会研究总局申请为研讨会提供主要财政支持。研讨会的执行科学委员会和国际计划委员会将挑选几名美国研究人员，就各自领域的最新技术发表主旨演讲。还将颁发奖项，支持几名年轻的美国调查人员的旅行，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和其他国家的研究人员之间的互动。研讨会上将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.
