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.

A day in the life of the nuclear community
The November issue of Nuclear News is focused on the individuals who make up our nuclear community.
We invited a small group of those individuals to tell us about their day-to-day work in some of the many occupations and applications of nuclear science and technology, and they responded generously. They were ready to tell us about the part they play, together with colleagues and team members, in supplying clean energy, advancing technology, protecting safety and health, and exploring fundamental science.
In these pages, we see a community that can celebrate both those workdays that record progress moving at a steady pace and the exceptional days when a goal is reached, a briefing is delivered, a contract goes through, a discovery is made, or an unforeseen challenge is overcome.
The Nuclear News staff hopes that you enjoy meeting these members of our community—or maybe get reacquainted with friends—through their words and photos.

The stopping power of Formvar and Mylar polymeric materials for energy region (0.1 to 1.0) MeV/nucleon 19F, 23Na, 24Mg, 27Al, 28Si, 31P, 32S, 35Cl, and 40Ar ions have been determined. The energy loss and stopping power of Mylar were calculated for 11B having energies between 0.31 and 0.85 MeV/nucleon. In fact, the factor ξe and exponential function f(E) involved in Lindhard, Scharff, and Schiott (LSS) theory has been modified in light of the available simulation electronic stopping power values. The results obtained by the LSS modified theory and Monte Carlo simulations are compared with MSTAR, the SRIM predictions code, and experimental data. The obtained results show a close agreement qualitatively with MSTAR, experimental data, and those generated by the SRIM computer code.
