Traditional neutron tomography allows to reconstruct the attenuation cross section, a measure for the material distribution, at high spatial resolution and non-destructively. However, it does not state anything about the ordering structure of the atoms ins ...
A spectrometer has been constructed for the study of (n, α) reactions at 14 MeV, By detecting the 4He particle associated with neutron production, it is possible to measure the a time-of-flight in addition to the residual energy and energy loss, as measure ...
In order to meet the requirements of fusion power reactors and nuclear waste treatment, a concept of fission-fusion neutron source is proposed, which consists of a LiD assembly located in the heavy water region of the China Advanced Research Reactor. This ...
The JET gamma-ray diagnostics system provides information on the behaviour of fast particles within the tokamak plasma. Information on the spatial distribution of the interacting fast particles is obtained from the gamma-ray cameras, while energy distribut ...
Angular distributions of the differential cross sections and integrated cross sections for the scattering of 14.1 MeV neutrons from 11B for the 0, 2.12, 4.44, 5.02, (6.74+6.79) and 7.30 MeV levels have been measured. Two targets (81.17% 11B, 18.83% 10B (na ...
The accurate determination of the ambient dose equivalent in the mixed neutron-photon fields encountered around high-energy particle accelerators still represents a challenging task. The main complexity arises from the extreme variability of the neutron en ...
The authors studied ultrafast relaxation of localized excited states at Ge-related O deficient centers in SiO2 using femtosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy. The relaxation dynamics exhibits a biexponential decay, which the authors ascribe to the dep ...
A high-fluence proton irradiation of neptunium was the last experiment in PSIs programme ATHENA related to accelerator-based transmutation. The principal aim of the programme has been to provide experimental data for the validation of theoretical models in ...
The newest release of the Evaluated Nuclear Data File, ENDF/B-VII.0, has recently become available, along with the announcement of its significant advances over previous versions. The older ENDF/B releases, however, have been assessed for numerous applicat ...
Using a first-principles approach, we study the vibrational properties of vitreous SiO2 which are measured in neutron-scattering experiments. We adopt a model structure consisting of corner-sharing tetrahedra, which was previously generated using first-pri ...
