CAEN Winter School 2024

In these days, we proudly conducted its Winter School 2024 at our headquarters in Viareggio, Italy, in partnership with the IMSci-Nu Master’s program at Aix-Marseille University, which specializes in Instrumentation and Measurement Science for significant nuclear research facilities, and the “Excellence Nucléaire Sud” project with a specific international mobility action led by Pr Christelle Reynard-Carette. The event spanned two enlightening days, filled with seminars and practical workshops designed to deepen the attendees’ expertise and practical skills in nuclear research methodologies.

The program kicked off with an introduction to CAEN SpA, laying the groundwork for a deep dive into essential subjects such as the characterization of nuclear waste and Decommissioning & Dismantling (D&D), insights into CAEN digitizers, the intricacies of Neutron-Gamma Discrimination, and the functionalities of the EasyPet System. Each segment was meticulously planned to fuse theoretical understanding with practical application, significantly enriching the learning journey for all participants.

The subsequent day shifted focus towards Environmental Radiation, coupled with an extensive, hands-on exploration of CAEN digitizers. These interactive sessions not only shed light on the forefront of technological advancements in the sector but also facilitated direct interaction with the latest equipment.

The triumph of the Winter School 2024 was the result of a collaborative endeavor, thanks to our partnership with the IMSci-Nu Master’s program. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the lively engagement and contributions from everyone involved, which rendered the event both fruitful and gratifying.
