CV of Dr. T. Belgya Tamás Belgya is Candidate of Science of the Hungarian Academy from 1994 (CSc is equivalent to PhD). He studied physics at the Eötvös Loránd University between 1977-82. He started his career as a physicist with nuclear structure research using (n,n') reactions on a fast neutron experimental facility of the Budapest Research Reactor (BRR) at Institute of Isotopes (IKI) in 1982. After the BRR shut down for reconstruction in 1986 he continued his research in the framework of three National Science Foundation projects at the University of Kentucky using its Van de Graaff accelerator based fast neutron source in Prof. Steven W. Yates’s group. He had a two year contract at the University of Kentucky and worked with accelerator produced (n,n') reactions from 1990 till 1992. He worked out the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method at this time and measured many nuclear level lifetimes in various nuclei. He took part in the discovery of the two-phonon octupole and octupole-quadrupole states in the spherical Pb, Sm and Nd nuclei. The NSF supported co-operation with University of Kentucky was successful till 1996. From 1993 he started working on the foundation of the radiative neutron capture (n,) instrumentation at the thermal neutron guide of the BRR. He took part in the design and building of the Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) experimental station and was responsible for the electronic systems and calibration of the High Purity Ge detector based experimental facility. He also took part in the development of the PGAA methodology. In the year 2000 both the neutron guide and the PGAA station were redesigned and rebuilt. The PGAA station was extended with a new experimental station called Neutron Induced Prompt-gamma Spectrometer (NIPS) and later with the NORMA neutron tomography (NT) facility, which became the first of a combined PGAA-NT facility in the world. From 1998 he became the deputy department head of the Nuclear Analysis Department and from 2004 he became the department head. Between 2011 & 2012 the Hungarian Academy of Sciences reorganized its research network. In this process the IKI become an Institute of the Centre for Energy Research. From 2012 the department name was changed to Nuclear Analysis and Radiography Department of the Institute for Energy Security and Environmental Safety, Centre for Energy Research, Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He became the Director of the Institute for Energy Security and Environmental Safety and deputy DG of the Centre from 2013. He has been the local coordinator of several EU and National funded projects. Most notably he was a WP coordinator in the EU FP6 Ancient Charm Project (2005-2008) a 3D non-destructing tomography/imaging project for archaeological objects. He was also working on methodology projects of ancient metals and neutron radiography/tomography. He took part in numerous IAEA coordinated research projects on nuclear data, worked on nuclear database (Reference Input Parameter Library) and consultations. He has more than 260 journal papers, book chapters and reports. His current interests are measurements of nuclear data and photon strength functions, neutron radiography and tomography, PGAA and nuclear standards.
