Material Physics Department seminar

1. Inductance Coil Gun – computer simulation and measurements
Some topics related to electromagnetic catapulting of macroscopic objects will be presented.
Speaker: Eng. Andrzej Horodeński, MSc (NCBJ)

2. Concept of a magnetohydrodynamic ignition of not very sensitive explosives
A novel way to ignite explosives will be proposed. The proposed concept might improve safety of ammunition handling.
Speaker: Dr. Cezary Pochrybniak (NCBJ)

Energy-dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED XRF) is one of the major methods used to non-destructively analyse chemical composition of various samples. Applicability of the method in in archaeometry, quality of the obtained results, and comparison of the method with other (often complementary) spectroscopy methods used in archaeometry will be discussed during the seminar. A 2 zł Polish coin from 1933 will be the case study.

All interested persons are invited
