Nil Mont i Geli

Nil Mont i Geli is a researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Advanced Nuclear Technologies Research Group (ANT) within the Department of Physics at the Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering (ETSEIB). His work focuses on neutron dosimetry, radiation protection in particle therapy facilities, and experimental nuclear physics. Key projects include the LINrem neutron dosimeter development and collaborations at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (HENSA/ANAIS). He has contributed to modular neutron counter designs (e.g., miniBELEN) and studies of neutron flux in low-background environments.

His research spans nuclear engineering, medical physics, and nuclear astrophysics, with emphasis on detector technology, radiation safety, and neutron-induced reactions. Notable contributions include work on iodine-substituted nanoparticles for proton therapy range verification and studies of r-process nucleosynthesis in rare-earth nuclei. Mont i Geli has participated in major initiatives like the n_TOF project at CERN and the DESPEC setup for FAIR.
