SPEAKER: Arun Persaud (LBNL-ATAP) – TITLE: Applications of Associate Particle Imaging at Berkeley Lab from Carbon in Soil to Nuclear Data
February 3, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event
LOCATION: Sessler Conference Room – 50A – 5132
DATE: February 3, 2023
TIME: 12:00 PM
TITLE: Applications of Associate Particle Imaging at Berkeley Lab from Carbon in Soil to Nuclear Data
ABSTRACT: We developed an Associated Particle Imaging(API) system that uses inelastic neutron scattering reactions to measure 3d density maps for individual elements in a target area. We apply this method to measuring carbon in soil for agricultural applications, e.g. quantifying carbon sequestration. We also have used API recently together with colleagues from NASA and APL to calibrate neutron detectors and for precise measurement of cross sections as well as planned bulk density measurements of meteorites. In this talk, we will give an overview of API as a technique and these applications.
