AAP 2006 showcased ongoing efforts worldwide to exploit the unique features of antineutrinos for cooperative monitoring of reactors. International experts in both antineutrino detection and nonproliferation participated, providing up-to-date technical and policy guidance about the integration of antineutrino detectors into nonproliferation regimes.
We expected that the balance between nonproliferation and technical expertise would provide the community with a realistic framework for future work. With this aim in mind, conference attendees developed a white paper to summarize the state-of-the-art in applied antineutrino detection and chart a course for further developments in this burgeoning field.
Dates: September 24–26, 2006
Location: Wente Vineyards, Livermore, California, USA
