TIA Kakehashi Symposium

Application of Positron Beams at Major Facilities

13:10-18:30, October 31st, 2019

Nara Kasugano International Forum IRAKA, Nara, Japan

Session Organizer: Nagayasu Oshima

The current status of major facilities for positron production in Japan and China, as well as recent progress on their applications, are reported. Emerging measurement techniques and their applications including an idea for future collaborations are also discussed. All speakers are invited from the organizer, and the session is held under the auspices of the organizing committee of JWPS2019.
For registration only to this symposium (free of charge), please send your infomation (name, affilication, and e-mail address) to the office.
