Parity nonconservation for neutron resonances in 232Th.
Parity nonconservation (PNC) was measured for 24 p-wave resonances from 8 to 300 eV in 232Th by measuring the helicity dependence of the total neutron cross section for epithermal neutrons with an improved experimental system. Ten resonances show statistically significant parity violation. For these ten resonances the analyzing powers are all positive, thus confirming the previously observed si...
متن کاملDesigning an Am-Be miniature neutron source
Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...

متن کاملEffect of the troposphere on surface neutron counter measurements
Surface neutron counter data are often used as a proxy for atmospheric ionisation from cosmic rays in studies of extraterrestrial effects on climate. Neutron counter instrumentation was developed in the 1950s and relationships between neutron counts, ionisation and meteorological conditions were investigated thoroughly using the techniques available at the time; the analysis can now be extended...
متن کاملFast Neutron Scattering Measurements with Lead
Fast neutron scattering from natural lead was measured at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s (RPI) Gaerttner Linear Accelerator Center (LINAC). This measurement was performed using eight detectors positioned at different solid angles, with neutron events recorded in time of flight. This experiment used liquid scintillator EJ301 detectors and a tantalum photo-neutron target, which were optim...
