The n_TOF facility at CERN, a project conceived by Carlo Rubbia in the late ’90s, started operations in 2001. In the occasion of its 20th anniversary, an event to mark the achievements and the future plans of the nuclear physics community working with neutrons worldwide, is organized by the n_TOF Collaboration at CERN. The event is an workshop NSTAPP – Neutrons is Science, Technology and Application, to be held at the Main Auditorium at CERN on 22th of November 2021.

NSTAPP will provide the opportunity to review the state of the art of neutron-induced reaction studies and their applications in science and technology. More in detail, after an overview of neutron facilities in the world, advancements in nuclear technology (energy production, nuclear waste transmutation and safety), formation of elements (Big Bang and stellar nucleo synthesis) as well as treatment of cancer with neutrons will be presented.

More details, including the program of the workshop, are available online at the https://indico.cern.ch/event/1073008/ webpage. It is possible to register and follow the event online.

We are glad to remind that the Bologna division of INFN is part of the international collaboration working at n_TOF since the beginning of the project.
