  1. ARDENTFebruary 2012 – January 2016 Advanced Radiation Dosimetry European Network Training initiative Marie Curie Initial Training Network under EU FP7 – 4 M€ 7 Full Partners and 5 Associate Partners Coordinator: CERN, Scientist-in-Charge: Dr. M. Silari CERN (coordinator), Switzerland AIT Vienna, Austria CTU- IAEP Prague, Czech Republic IBA Dosimetry, Schwarzenbruck, Germany Jablotron, Prague, Czech Republic MI.AM, Milano, Italy Politecnico, of Milano, Italy ST Microelectronics, Italy University of Erlangen, Germany University of Houston, USA University of Ontario, Canada University of Wollongong, Australia M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  2. Development of advanced instrumentation for radiation monitoring Three main technologies • gas detectors [e.g., gas electron multipliers (GEM), tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPC)] • solid state detectors [e.g., Medipix, silicon micro-dosimeters] • track detector techniques [e.g., CR-39, nano-dosimeters] M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  3. Objectives & Applications • Main objectives • Radiation dosimetry • Micro- and nano-dosimetry • Photon and neutron spectrometry • Applications • Characterization of radiation fields at particle accelerators (research, industry, medical) • Characterization of radiation fields on-board aircrafts and in space • Assessment of secondary dose to RT patient • Measurement of properties of clinical hadron beams M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  4. Researcher Recruitment • 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESR) to be recruited • 4 at CERN, Geneva • 2 ait AIT, Vienna • 3 at CTU, Prague • 2 at IBA Dosimetry, Schwarzenbruck • 1 at Jablotron, Prague • 1 at MI.AM, Milano • 2 at the Politecnico, Milano • Up to 1/3 of time can be spent on secondments • Work performed within the project to be used for PhD • Generous training allowance for researchers M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  5. Work Packages • Seven Work Packages • WP1: gas detectors • WP2: solid state detectors • WP3: track detectors • WP4: instrument inter-comparison • WP5: training • Individual training programs • Network-wide training • WP6: dissemination and outreach • WP7: ITN management M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  7. Advertisement of Positions • All ESR positions are advertised and applications are handled via the CERN ERT tool: • https://ert.cern.ch/browse_www/wd_portal.list?p_web_site_id=1&p_class_type=Programme&p_class_value=Fellowships&p_title=Fellowships • The positions are advertised network-wide • Applications are not limited to the EU countries – mobility criteria apply! • Selection of candidates will be done by the respective institutes • Researchers must be recruited under employment contract M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project
