2nd workshop on Exotic Radionuclides from Accelerator Waste for Science and Technology (ERAWAST II)

Scientific Programme

The second ERAWAST workshop will be divided into the following partitions:

1. Production and chemical separation of exotic radionuclides
   An overview on the possibilities of radionuclide production in the frame of the ERAWAST initiative will be given.
2. Reports on achievements and results
   Several high-sophisticated experiments had been performed and will be reported here. Moreover, ongoing projects and status reports on running experiments are presented.
3. Realistic experiments to be planned in the near future
   Projects, which could be realized in an acceptable time frame (up to 5 years), will be introduced here.
4. “Dreams and Illusions”
   Future plans fare away from a present chance of realization are an essential component in scientific thinking and development. Every new idea is welcome.
