“Measuring intact protons at the LHC: From the odderon discovery to the search for axion-like particles”
Abstract: https://www.hip.fi/seminars/
Aika ja paikka: Perjantai 30.6.2023 klo 14-18, Kopernikuksentie 1, Helsinki (Observatorio)
YK:n kansainvälistä Asteroidipäivää vietetään vuonna 1908 tapahtuneen Tunguskan asteroiditörmäyksen vuosipäivänä. Tänä vuonna teemana on ajankohtainen DART-asteroidimissio. Sillä testattiin, miten asteroidien nopeutta ja suuntaa voidaan muuttaa törmäytyksen voimalla ja siten mahdollisesti tulevaisuudessa suojella Maata.
Observatorion näyttelyihin ja tapahtumaan on vapaa pääsy klo 14-18. #asteroidday

Säätiön tehtävänä on tukea tieteellistä sekä soveltavaa tutkimusta ja kehitystyötä myöntämällä apurahoja hankkeiden toteuttajille. Säätiö tarjoaa mahdollisuuksia yksittäisille tutkijoille ja kehittäjille sekä tutkimus-/ kehittäjäryhmille. Haasteena on ruokkia nimenomaan sellaista kehitystä, jolla olisi elinympäristömme kannalta positiivista vaikutusta pitkällä tähtäimellä. Apurahojen hakuaika on jatkuva.

”Kartiokeilatietokonetomografiakuvantamisen aiheuttaman potilasannoksen määritys ja optimointi”
Abstract: Kartiokeilatietokonetomografia eli KKTT on tyypillisimmin käytetty kuvausmodaliteetti kuvantaohjatussa sädehoidossa ja sitä käytetään pääasiassa potilaan asemointiin ja sädehoidon kohdistamiseen. Tämän työn tarkoituksena on selvittää yhdeksässä suomalaisessa sairaalassa käytettäviä KKTT-kuvantamisen kuvausparametreja ja kuvauskäytäntöjä sekä laskennallisesti määrittää kuvantamisen aiheuttamia potilasannoksia ja optimoinnin vaikutuksia.
