  7. OUR SINGULARITY The Centro Nacional de Aceleradores

  8. Centro Nacional de Aceleradores • Established as an agreement between the University of Sevilla, Junta de Andalucia and C.S.I.C. in 1997. • A National facility open to national and international collaboration with: • - Other Universities and Health Care Centers (public, private). - Public Research Institutes. • Private companies. • A good environment for the training od scientists and technicians ISO 27000 and ISO 9001 Certifications

  9. CNA building, Parque Tecnológico Cartuja 93 (former place of Australian Pavillion during World Exposition 1992))

  10. CNA Personnel (Sept. 2012) • Staff (permanent, PhD): 9 • Doctors (temp): 12 • Post-Graduates (temp): 9 • Administration: 3 • Technicians: 9 • Total: 42

  11. CNA Personnel

  12. InstitutionalAgreements • IAEA Collaboration Centre • Collaboration with ENRESA (National Company in charge of the Nuclear Waste Mangement in Spain) • Collaboration with CIEMAT. • Collaboration with Virgen del Rocio Hospital • Collaboration with ALTER Co. (irrdiation of aerospatial components) • Collaboration with CSN (Spanish Nuclear Safety Council) European Project OPAC “Optimization of particle accelerators” Marie Curie ITN; partners: 10 institutions.

  13. ScientificProduction

  14. CNA General Information

  15. ScientificObjectives of CNA To be…. • A Centre of Reference in material analysisthroughtheapplication of IBA techniques. • A Centre of Reference in AMS and in 14C dating • A Centre of Reference in thedevelopment of radiationdetectorsinstrumentation. • A Centre of Reference in MedicalImage and in Radiopharmaceuticalsyntheses. • A Centre of Reference in thedevelopment and application of irradiationtests

  16. A Centre of Reference in material analysis through the application of IBA techniques.

  17. Spintronics applications Study of defects after ion implantation of transition metals (Ni) in SiC monocristals for application in spin electronics Collaboration:ICMM, MFA (Budapest); INSP (Paris); UNAM (Mexico)Ref:PSSc 5(2008)1374; NIMB 267(2009)1097

  18. Archaeometrystudiesusingexternalbeam Large and non suitableforvacuumsamples can be analyzedwiththeexternalbeam

  19. Pu (La) U (La) Pu (La) U (La) Micro-probe μ-PIXE Hot-particle Analysis A15 Scan 100x100 mm2 Pu and U concentration maps in hot particles with origin in the Palomares nuclear accident. Both elements are confined inside the particle. HP3 Scan 75x75 mm2

  20. A Centre of Reference in AMS and in 14C dating

  21. 14C: Bomb pulse effect in Mexico

  22. J. Environ. Radioact., 1992, 15, 231 Effect of Nuclear release of 129I in the Baltic and North Sea Algae from the coast of Sweden in the North and the Baltic Sea North Sea is much more affected by the releases of Sellafield and La Hague. No exchange with the Baltic Sea.

  23. Plutonium isotopes in air filter samples (Seville) Seasonal trend (high values in summer). They were correlated with Saharan Dust Intrusion

  24. A Centre of Reference in the development of radiation detectors instrumentation

  25. Tracking detectors (CNA-Saclay-GANIL) Collaboration

  26. Characterization of a strip Si detector forRadiotherapy dosis measurement Si strip detector inside a cilindrical phantom Measurement with a clinical electron accelerator U.Sevilla-CNA-INABENSA-HUVM-ESII PATENT SUBMITTED

  27. Neutron line @ CNA: astrophysics Performed two different activations that should correspond to measure the Maxwellian Average Cross Section (MACS) of 181Ta at kT=30 keV and kT=55 keV by using MACS of Au as reference. The MACS is the fundamental ingredient for the calculation of the reaction rates of the elements with A>56 in the Universe. • EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AT CNA • Chamber designed, constructed and tested at LNL-INFN. • Copper backing developed at Seville. Water cooling flowing around. Lithium foil.

  28. A Centre of Reference in Medical Image and in Radiopharmaceutical syntheses.

  29. Some molecules prepared at CNA • [18F]FLT as a cellular growth marker to obtain images for cancer diagnosis • Na[18F]F for osseous and renal studies For pre-clinic research the following radio-pharmaceuticals are produced in CNA: FLT, FMISO, BF4, NaF y 11C-metionina

  30. Cerebral Metabolism: Hipoxia-Ischemia • Brain is pressed by a Fogarty balloon, and effects are monitored with FDG-PET and F-MISO images PtiO2 sensor Fogarty balloon Project developed in collaboration with the Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit of the Hospital Virgen del Rocío.

  31. A Centre of Reference in the development and application of irradiations tests

  32. Radiationhardness in fibreopticssensorsused in particle-physicsexperiments (Detectorsfrom “LargeHadronCollider”-CERN) In a first experiment it was determined the existence of a relation between the type of coating of the sensor and its response under irradiation of protons. In un second experiment it has been analyzed the effect of the protonic radiation in the response of nude sensors (withgout coating). Collaboration IFCA - CNA

  33. Afterglow Luminosity Response of luminiscent materials to ionic radiation Reactors of Losses (escaping) Fusion of fast ions Diagnosis Luminiscence in scintillators (ZnS(Ag)) Detectors for plasma in ITER

  34. Creation of a Serviceforirradiation of aeroespatialcomponents Irradiation of electronic circuits (total dose and SEE) Irradiation of solar cells
