ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

The variation of the MHD stability boundary is investigated when the ellipticity of the magnetic flux tube in the anchor cells of the GAMMA10 tandem mirror is changed. It is found that the stable region does not change so much when the ellipticity is higher than about fifty, while this region is narrower as the ellipticity is lower than fifty.
