Constraints on Vesta's elemental composition: Fast neutron measurements by Dawn's gamma ray and neutron detector
Surface composition information from Vesta is reported using fast neutron data collected by the gamma ray and neutron detector on the Dawn spacecraft. After correcting for variations due to hydrogen, fast neutrons show a compositional dynamic range and spatial variability that is consistent with variations in average atomic mass from howardite, eucrite, and diogenite (HED) meteorites. These dat...

متن کاملInvestigation of neutron flux by thermoluminescence dosimeters in the neutron-gamma mixed field
Introduction: Neutrons have many applications in various fields, such as medicine. The important application of neutron in medical science is in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Because of this, determination of neutron dose and flux is critical for the health maintaining of workers and patients exposed to this beam. The neutron radioisotope sources produce gamma rays in ...
متن کاملAnalogies between neutron and gamma-ray imaging
Although the physics describing the interactions of neutrons with matter is quite different from that appropriate for hard x-rays and gamma rays, there are a number of similarities that allow analogous instruments to be developed for both types of ionizing radiation. A pinhole camera, for example, requires that the radiation obeys some form of geometrical optics, that a material can be found to...
متن کاملGamma-ray Bursts and Neutron-star Mergers
We present the discovery observations for the optical counterpart of the γ-ray burster GRB 970508 and an analysis of its light curve and of the HST imaging data. We also present a detailed analysis of the HST images claimed to show a proper motion of the optical counterpart of GRB 970228 and conclude that, within the uncertainties, there is no proper motion. We examine several aspects of the ne...
