This is a device of about 30 tons, consisting of several large magnets that control the beam direction, position and shape. In order to reach the necessary high quality of the irradiation treatment, the beam delivery system has to meet very high standards of accuracy and reliability. Environmental applications of nuclear physics Another aspect of the application of nuclear physics techniques and methods is natural radioactivity. Both topics have a strong multi-disciplinary character. The theory group at the KVI is working on subjects related to nuclear bremsstrahlung and quantum transport equations.
Transport equations are of primary interest in solid-state and nuclear physics.
In spite of this the quantum aspects, as related for example to Anderson localization, are still not consistently incorporated.
