International Forum on Advances in Radiation Physics. Book of Abstracts.

The International Forum on Advances in Radiation Physics (FORUMBA-2017) is the first one of its type and is organized in Buenos Aires, 4-5 May 2017. It has been created to promote the encounter of Latin-American scientists with prestigious specialists active in the broad field of the Radiation Physics in other regions of the world. It is inspired by the International Radiation Physics Society (IRPS) primary objective of promoting the global exchange and integration of scientific information pertaining to the interdisciplinary subject of radiation physics, including the promotion of theoretical and experimental research in radiation physics, investigation of physical aspects of interactions of radiations with living systems, education in radiation physics, and utilization of radiations for peaceful purposes. The scientific program consists of invited lectures and oral presentations given by the delegates in five topical areas: Fundamental Processes in Radiation Physics; Sources and Detectors; Applications in Medicine and Biology; Applications to Cultural Heritage and Environmental Sciences; and Applications to Space and Earth.
