Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.

In this paper, the possibility for determination of the tritiated water activity using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometry was analyzed. The method relies on estimation of hydroxyl radicals resulted from self-radiolytical processes using EPR spectrometers. The mechanisms of inducing of free radical by self radiolysis of tritiated water, the accumulation time of hydroxyl radicals and the corroboration of signals amplitude with the tritiated water concentration have been studied.
