Applied Nuclear Physics

At the moment research is concentrated in two areas. We are studying fast neutron transmission spectroscopy as a technique for detecting explosives hidden in airline luggage. We are using an MeV ion microprobe to study metal rich biological specimens through STIM and PIXE imaging.
