A BRNS sponsored workshop on the Evaluation of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (ENSDD-2012) will be held at the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre during November 26 – 29, 2012. This event, organized under the aegis of the Nuclear Data Physics Centre of India (NDPCI), is the first of its kind in India. The aim of the workshop is to provide detailed information and training on the evaluation of nuclear structure and decay data in the ENSDF (Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File) format.

The importance and necessity of the evaluation of nuclear structure and decay data is growing very fast with the advent of technological advancement in accelerator technology, nuclear detection and data acquisition systems. The evaluated data are useful not only for the physicists involved in the basic research of nuclear physics and astrophysics but equally important to a large community in the applied areas of nuclear power, material analysis, dosimetry, medical diagnostics and treatment etc.

The evaluation is carried out  by the International Network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (NSDD) Evaluators (http://www-nds.iaea.org/nsdd/) under the auspices of the IAEA. India is an active member of this network and the community of the ENSDF Evaluators in India is growing fast, particularly after the formation of the NDPCI. This workshop will bring some of the best international experts together and put them in touch with other evaluators to update on the recent developments in the ENSDF evaluation and also to encourage students and faculties to undertake ENSDF evaluation.

We look forward to your participation in ENSDD-2012 at VECC, Kolkata
