Polish accelerator on the Polish border of the EU
2020.05.06 - Marek Pawłowski
At the Kuźnica Białostocka-Grodno border crossing, an X-ray device for scanning of railway wagons works with full functionality. It was built using solutions developed in the NCBJ. The core of the system is called Canis and it is an electron accelerator with switched energy of 6 and 9 MeV produced by the NCBJ Nuclear Equipment Division (HITEC).

The T2K results limit the possible values of the CP symmetry violating phase for neutrinos
2020.04.15 - Marek Pawłowski
T2K’s Collaboration published new results in the prestigious scientific journal Nature regarding the largest parameter limit to date determining the violating phase of symmetry between matter and antimatter in neutrino oscillations. Almost half of the possible values of the parameter δCP were excluded, thus revealing the basic ownership of neutrinos that had not been measured so far.

Polish participation in the Japanese T2K experiment
2020.04.15 - Marek Pawłowski
An international team of scientists collaborating on the T2K experiment today announced in the journal Nature significant research results that broaden knowledge of the lack of symmetry between matter and antimatter. This is a good time to recall that Polish scientists from six centers, cooperating within the Polish Neutrino Group, are also contributing to this experiment.

SARI statement on the incorrectness of the NLT hypothesis
2020.04.09 - Marek Pawłowski
Scientists are once again questioning the accuracy of the hypothesis that any low dose of radiation poses a threat to human health. On the contrary, they say – there are good reasons to believe that small doses have a positive effect on our health. These are the conclusions of the recently published statement by the Scientists for Accurate Radiation Information (SARI) and XNLT foundations.

Accelerator-based method of 99Mo production The first foreign internship of a RadFarm PhD student
2020.03.25 - Marek Pawłowski
Tobiasz Zawistowski MSc, a student of the RadFarm interdisciplinary doctorate studies, was an intern at CANADIAN ISOTOPE INNOVATIONS Corp. and carried out experiments at Canadian Light Source related to the accelerated production of molybdenum 99 for medical purposes. Research is ongoing on the possibility of using a similar method in Świerk.
