Artificially intelligent gamma ray imaging detectors.
Position sensitivity in a semiconductor detector is obtained from the signals induced on a segmented electrode structure on the semiconductor crystal surface during collection of the electric charges created where radiation interacts; these charges being moved by an applied electric field. Advanced signal processing is needed to obtain optimum performance in terms of position and energy resolution as well as count rate capability. The best performance is obtained when applying artificial intelligence techniques. In the project, optimized artificial intelligence algorithms will be developed, using laboratory measurements with a state-of-the-art detector to provide training data. The resulting improved imaging capabilities will be quantified. This project will be performed in consultation with Dr. Andreas Hauptmann from Oulu University.

Program Manager for Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science
14 March 2024
Within the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics there is an ongoing search for the Program Manager for Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science.
The Program Manager will conceive, justify, plan, initiate, manage, and coordinate all aspects of experimental nuclear structure and astrophysics research that serves the mission of the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics. Topical areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the structure of nuclei using beams of stable and rare isotopes, nuclear reaction mechanisms, and nuclear astrophysics within nuclear science.
The successful candidate will work with other offices in DOE and other Federal agencies regarding connections and interfaces between the research supported within the nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics physics program and other research programs. Research aligned with this portfolio is strongly supported by two NP National User Facilities, the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System at Argonne National Laboratory and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. The portfolio also supports two university "Centers of Excellence," Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) and the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute.
If you know members of the community who may be interested in applying for this position, please make them aware of the posting, and encourage them to apply.
