New Member in the Neutrinos group
May 11, 2022
Neutrinos GroupBalint Radics has just joined the Neutrinos group as a María de Zambrano Postdoc researcher.
Balint is an expert in neutrino physics and currently an established member of several international neutrino research collaborations. He worked in ETH Zurich university during 2016-2022 as a postdoctoral researcher contributing to two Neutrino experiments: T2K and DUNE. In the T2K project, he directly contributed to the T2K neutrino experiment’s Oscillation Analysis group efforts. In the DUNE experiment, he explored new Machine Learning possibilities to enhance the sensitivity for future proton-decay searches, which has strong synergies with the T2K experiment.
Welcome to IFAE, Balint!
Patents
Three new IFAE patents
October 9, 2023
IFAE filed a new medical imaging technology patent application: “Proton CT System with Improved Proton Energy Detector” and a patent application was granted named “Devices, Systems, and Methods for Mammography with a Detector Having Reduced Dimensions.” The third is a PET technology based new patent application filed in the European Patent Office.

The detector is already connected to the gas system and first cosmics in this configuration are expected to be recorded in about 4 weeks. First data taking with a neutrino beam is planned for the 2nd half of November and December.
