Turkish Physical Society 3rd Student Workshop on Radiation Shielding Studies with New Generation Materials
Radiation shielding technologies play a critical role in a wide range of areas from nuclear engineering to medical imaging. Today, instead of traditional lead-based materials, new generation materials that stand out with their environmental and mechanical advantages are being developed and researched. In this workshop, the radiation shielding performances of innovative materials such as borate and telluride-based glasses, high entropy alloys (HEA) and HEA-doped glasses will be discussed. In addition, topics such as the interaction of radiation with matter, basic shielding parameters, and calculation methods will be discussed, and the most recent developments in this field will be conveyed to the participants. The workshop is aimed at high school students, undergraduate and graduate students.
Focus Area: The workshop content is entirely focused on "Radiation Shielding Studies with Next-Generation Materials." The present and future of radiation physics can be discussed, from innovative materials and modern shielding techniques to theoretical programming and industrial applications.
Participant Profile: The workshop is suitable for all students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate (Master's/Doctorate) levels who are interested in physics and science.
Process: All applications will be evaluated by the Turkish Physics Society Student Workshop Scientific Committee, and selections will be made from among the applications due to limited capacity. Participants will be informed comprehensively via email as preparations for the workshop progress.
Certificate of Participation: Participants will receive a "Turkish Physics Society Student Workshop Certificate of Participation" via email.
Date: September 2, 2026
Note: Students who will participate should bring their personal computers, 1 USB and power connections.
Note: Participation in the competition is free.
