The Physics Section of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is responsible for the IAEA programmes on accelerator applications, nuclear instrumentation, research reactor utilisation and nuclear fusion. This includes research and development work, primarily in instrumentation, almost 100 technical cooperation projects around the world, coordinated research projects (currently 12) that...

In this talk, I will review the current status and future outlook of NeAT - the Neon Atom Trap Setup at the Hebrew university. We are developing a highly efficient atomic trap setup for different isotopes of metastable neon for the purpose of conducting high precision experiments in atomic and nuclear physics. Modern experiments with neutral atoms trapped using modern laser-cooling techniques...

The large scale facility Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) [1], currently under development, is the one of the three pillars of the Extreme Light Infrastructure Pan-European initiative which is dedicated to nuclear physics with extreme electromagnetic fields. A high power laser system and a very brilliant gamma beam are the main research equipment at the core of ELI-NP....

We present the status of simulations to obtain an intense beam of moderated positrons (e_s^+) with an intensity of the primary positron beam of 1-2×10^6 e_s^+/s by the (γ, e^+e^-) reaction, using an intense γ beam of 2.4×10^10 γ/s with energies up to 3.5 MeV. Using fully circularly polarized γ beam we aim to obtain an intense beam of slow polarized positrons with a polarization degree of...

The Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility will come online in Bucharest-Magurele, Romania in 2017 and will consist of two components: a very high intensity laser and a very intense gamma beam. ELI-NP will allow either combined or stand-alone experiments using the high-power laser and the gamma beam. The high brilliance Gamma Beam System (GBS) at ELI–NP will deliver...

Present status of the accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) facility at Bucharest “Horia Hulubei” – National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering is described. Since the radiocarbon dating measurements are playing an important role in our laboratory activity, an inter-comparison test had to be performed in order to estimate the overall performance in this type of measurements. The SIRI...

One of the most important parameter of ADS experimental setups is a neutron flux density of the secondary neutron field. The flux can be experimentally determined using activation detectors like Co-59. The experiment with Co-59 was performed at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia in December 2013. The field of secondary neutrons was generated at the massive natural uranium...
