Acute effects of fast neutron irradiation on mouse liver.

Until now, the multiple biological effects of ionizing radiation on liver have been reported. However, there has not been any reports of fast neutron-mediated liver injuries including liver regeneration or fibrosis. Here, we described the biological effects of acute fast neutron irradiation on the liver. After the fast neutron irradiation of 0, 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gy on mice, hepatocyte necrosi...

Modeling fast neutron irradiation damage accumulation in tungsten

Due to its advantageous physical properties, tungsten (W) is being considered as a candidate structural material in fusion applications. In this paper, we perform stochastic cluster dynamics calculations of irradiation damage accumulation in pure W under fast neutron spectra in up to doses of 1.5 dpa in the 400∼600◦C interval. Our calculations suggest that He bubbles and dislocation loops accum...

Fast neutron irradiation of some Hamamatsu APD’s - preliminary results

The preliminary results of a programme of measurements of the effects of fast neutron irradiation on the performance of the Hamamatsu APDs proposed for the barrel ECAL in CMS are reported.
