How do you make a scientific discovery? What paths must be taken, and what role do time and chance play? Dans les pas d'Archimède is a series of podcasts from Aix Marseille Université, in which some of its most eminent researchers tell the story of a discovery they've made.
In this episode, we go behind the scenes of nuclear research, where every degree counts, every measurement is refined, and every particle has a decisive influence. Our problem of the day isn't the simplest, but it's a fascinating one: how do we know how much energy nuclear radiation deposits in a material placed in a reactor? To explain it all, we are fortunate to welcome Christelle Reynard-Carette, professor at Aix Marseille University and specialist in instrumentation in extreme environments.
This episode was recorded on the premises of the Aix-Marseille School of Journalism and Communication (EJCAM). It was written, directed and edited by Charlotte Henry de Villeneuve and Merry Royer. The music was composed by Hdv, who also handled the mix. Special thanks to Christelle Reynard-Carette for her participation.
