DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Pete Jones (iThemba LABS)\nThe Portable African Neut
 ron-Gamma Laboratory for Innovative Nuclear Science (PANGoLINS) [1] projec
 t aims to investigate measurements of both gamma rays and neutrons which f
 orms an important component part on site or in transit and the detection o
 f both fissile material for the use in decarbonised energy sources or disp
 osal thereof.  A core component of the project is to miniaturize the weigh
 t of the gamma ray detection device and associated infrastructure so that 
 it can be loaded on an unmanned aerial vehicle to enable access to and enh
 ance performance of radiation monitoring measurements at remote sites lead
 ing to autonomous operations.\n\nPANGoLINS incorporates commercial detecto
 r assemblies of LaBr3(Ce)\, SrI2(Eu) and/or CLYC(Ce) for spectroscopy.  In
  addition\, the project encompasses the instrumentation of other scintilla
 tion detectors with silicon photomultiplier technologies.  The coupling of
  these to readout devices such as high-density ADC readout are planned for
  applications for nuclear science\, medical imaging [2] or astronomy.\n\nA
 n overview of the project\, its progress and potential outcomes will be pr
 esented.\n\nReferences\n\n   [1] Jones\, P. et al.\, IEEE Nuclear Science
