Nuclear Fission : Theories, Experiments and Applications. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Nuclear Fission : Theories, Experiments and Applications

This book provides advanced students and postdocs, as well as current practitioners of any field of nuclear physics involving fission an understanding of the nuclear fission process. Key topics covered are: fission cross sections, fission fragment yields, neutron and gamma emission from fission and key nuclear technologies and applications where fission plays an important role.  It addresses both fundamental aspects of the fission process and fission-based technologies including combining quantitative and microscopic modeling.

Patrick Talou is currently the leader of the XCP-5 Materials and Physical Data group in the X Computational Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, having spent much of his career as a member of the Theoretical Division Nuclear Physics Group. He performed his undergraduate and graduate studies at the universities of Orsay Paris-XI and Bordeaux in France, before joining LANL as a postdoc. Since then, he has been working on theories and models of nuclear reaction mechanisms, nuclear fission, nuclear data evaluations, uncertainty quantification and Bayesian statistics. He has authored more than 150 publications in refereed journals and international conference proceedings. Over the years, Patrick has been the PI of various multi-lab/multi-university projects related to those topics, and in particular on nuclear fission research projects. He chaired the first two editions of the "FIESTA" School & Workshop dedicated to nuclear fission, in Santa Fe, in 2014 and 2017. He is a member of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG), responsible for the releases of the U.S. ENDF/B evaluated nuclear data library. He also is a regular expert contributor to Coordinated Research Projects organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Patrick works very closely with nuclear experimentalists at Los Alamos and elsewhere to continuously improve nuclear physics models and evaluations. Finally, Patrick is one of the lead authors of the CGMF Monte Carlo fission physics code.

She has been co-organizer of 34 international meetings in the last 10 years. She has published 18 papers on FREYA in refereed journals and has been invited to speak at several international conferences with 18 conference papers on FREYA. She is the author of one book: Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions (2007), published by Elsevier, and has contributed to, as well as edited, a number of review papers. She was Scientific Editor of LLNL’s Science & Technology Review for the April-May 2016 to March 2017 issues of the journal. She has also served as an Editorial Board member for Physical Review C. She is active in the leadership of the American Physical Society (APS). She is an APS Fellow (through the Division of Nuclear Physics) and an APS Outstanding Referee. She works on developments and applications of the Monte Carlo simulation code FREYA, developed in collaboration with Jorgen Randrup.
