Design and operation of the wide angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source.
The wide angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is optimized to provide a high neutron flux at the sample position with a large solid angle of detector coverage. The instrument incorporates modern neutron instrumentation, such as an elliptically focused neutron guide, high speed magnetic bearing choppers, and a massive array of (3)He linear position sensi...
متن کاملA portable energy-sensitive cosmic neutron detection instrument.
The construction and testing of a portable energy-sensitive neutron instrument are described. This instrument has been designed and constructed for the primary purpose of characterizing cosmic-ray neutron fields in the upper atmosphere and in cosmic reference field facilities. The instrument comprises a helium-3 proportional counter surrounded by 15 mm of lead and 140 mm of polyethylene creatin...
متن کاملBoron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) - Low-Energy Neutron Spectrometer for Neutron Field Characterization -∗)
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is known to be a promising and new cancer therapy which can kill tumor cells suppressing damage to normal tissues. Recently, accelerator based neutron sources (ABNS) for BNCT are under development especially in Japan. For characterization of the neutron field, we carried out the series study concerning thermal/epi-thermal neutron spectrometry especially for ...
متن کاملCHELSI: a portable neutron spectrometer for the 20-800 MeV region.
CHELSI is a CsI-based portable spectrometer being developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory for use in high-energy neutron fields. Based on the inherent pulse shape discrimination properties of CsI(Tl), the instrument flags charged particle events produced via neutron-induced spallation events. Scintillation events are processed in real time using digital signal processing and a conservative ...
متن کاملPHYLIS: A Low-Cost Portable Visible Range Spectrometer for Soil and Plants
Monitoring soil and crop condition is vital for the sustainable management of agricultural systems. Often, land management decision-making requires rapid assessment of conditions, which is difficult if samples need to be taken and sent elsewhere for analysis. In recent years, advances in field-based spectroscopy have led to improvements in real-time monitoring; however, the cost of equipment an...
