Entry requirements:
Research supervisor:
Mikhail Sapozhnikov
PhD, DSc
Supervisor’s research interests:
Tagged neutrons method is the technique of the distant non-destructive elemental analysis of the substances. Based on the irradiation of the object by fast 14 MeV neutrons and registration of the gamma quanta from reactions of the inelastic scattering. Used for on-line determination of the elemental content of coal, cement, different ores on a conveyor, detection of diamonds inside kimberlite, detectors of explosives etc.
Research highlights:
Research is carried out using unique Russian-made neutron generators. One of them was working 6 years at the Martian rover Curiosity Project. Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna is a large international scientific center with plenty of possibilities for physicists. Financial support is possible.
Supervisor’s specific requirements:
General background in the experimental nuclear physics or basic knowledge of the methods of experimental data treatment in general and processing of the gamma-ray spectra in particular.
Main publications:
- Master’s degree / equivalent in a related field
- B2 level of English
- Good track record of publications related to the topic of the intended research
- Strong research proposal 1,500 - 3,500 words
