  1. The American Nuclear SocietyAccelerator Applications Division Presented to the ANS Board of Directors Pittsburgh, PA 15 June 2004 Mario Carelli AAD Vice Chair

  2. Division Mission From the Professional Divisions Manual: The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

  3. Officers Chair - Paul Lisowski Vice chair - Mario Carelli Secretary - Laurie Waters Treasurer - Jerry Nolan Past-Chair - John Ireland Committee Chairs Executive - Paul Lisowski Program - Erik Iverson Nominating - current chair Honors/Awards - Laurie Waters Division Governance Members • Paul Lisowski (2004) • Laurie Waters (2004) • Jerry Nolan (2004) • Mario Carelli (2005) • Ed Arthur (2005) • Jim Bresee (2005) • Detlef Filges (2005) • Eric Pitcher (2005) • Tom Ward (2005) • Denis Beller (2006) • Anthony Hechanova (2006) • Bradley Micklich (2006) • Phillip Ferguson (2007) • Nikolai Mokhov (2007)

  4. Membership We are still growing, and anticipate more growth as we add new constituency to the society • 6% of new ANS members in 2003 chose AAD • at end of 2003, 3% of ANS members were AAD members As of April 2004 and Includes 70 students

  5. Membership Demographics

  6. Membership Demographics

  7. Financial Position • We have continued working to develop a margin with which we can support our desired activities • student travel support • standing scholarship • paper awards • 2003 budget excess over budget was $21,449, current is $26,249. • New budget in preparation

  8. Division Governance • Communications • The AAD Executive Committee held a conference call to discuss Division Business this year • We have recently prepared a web page with ANS for AAD, it should be active shortly after the June Meeting • The Executive Committee had on its agenda for this meeting establishment of a Newsletter Committee • The committee regularly corresponds by e-mail

  9. Division Contributions to ANS • AAD has no position statements • We liaison with the other conferences • CAARI 2004: 18th International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry 10/10-15 in Fort Worth Texas • Society Leadership • We have had excellent participation at PDC and NPC meetings and 50 - 75% attendance at November Meeting • Non-Meeting Publications - not sponsored

  10. Division Services to Membership • AAD does not sponsor professional development activities • Scholarship • Have ANS information and are investigating scholarships • Previously decided funds were insufficient for endowed scholarship • Peer Recognition/Awards • Best paper Awards for professional and student contributions at AccApp Topicals • Student Support • Provided $1000 from Division in 2003

  11. Technical Sessions • 2003 • June - Embedded Topical AccApp’03 • 200 attended, 150 papers, 1000 page proceedings and CD • November - no sessions • 2004 • June - 3 sessions with 8 - 10 papers each • November - 1 session with 8 - 10 papers • 2005 • June - No sessions • November - 3 sessions with 8 - 10 papers each • 2006 • June - No Sessions • November - 3 sessions with 8 - 10 papers each

AccApp Topical Meetings • AAD has sponsored a heavy schedule of ambitious and successful topical meetings • The first six were annual • We scaled back to an 18 month cycle • The most recent, AccApp’03 in San Diego was a huge success with 150 papers, 200 attendees, 1000 page published and electronic proceedings • We are well underway in preparing for AccApp’05

  13. AAD is preparing for AccApp’05 • Island of San Servolo, Venice, Italy • August 28 to September 1, 2005 • It is intended to focus on a wide area of applications including: spallation neutron sources isotope production nuclear waste transmutation medical therapy nuclear data and experiments thermal hydraulics material issues in a particle environment energy production codes and models for particle transport system engineering radiation protection contraband detection high power accelerators under construction and future projects

  14. AAD Issues • AAD must improve its performance in the area of communications • Desire to establish scholarship • Focus: • web page - will have basic page soon • develop strategic and tactical plans • continue to diversify membership

  15. Summary • AAD continues to grow within the ANS • We have drawn in a new, more diverse ANS constituency with a large number of students • Tremendous success with AccApp Topicals • Division is financially sound • Future focus: • Improve communications (ANS web page) • Develop strategic and tactical plans • Establish scholarship • Continue to diversify membership • AccApp’05 (international)
