Design and characterization of AmLi neutron sources for the LZ experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the development, testing, and characterization of three low-emission rate AmLi neutron sources. The sources are used to calibrate nuclear recoil response LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment. sources' emission was measured using $^{3}$He proportional tubes. gamma emissions were characterized a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Source-validated GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulations allowed Ge detector responses.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
The comparison between simple and advanced shielding materials for the shield of portable neutron sources
Background: Monte Carlo simulations play a vital role in the calculation of the necessary shielding both for neutrons and photons. Advanced and simple shielding materials against neutron and gamma rays were compared by simulation using the MCNB4B Monte Carlo code. The simulations were carried out for the three common neutron sources, namely the 252Cf, the 241Am/Be and the DD neutron generator w...
متن کاملEstimation of neutron effective dose from DD and DT neutron generators and the design of appropriate shield for standing user
Neutron Generators (NG) are used as a neutron source for different applications. During recent years, major efforts are underway to develop a high yield compact NG. In this way, radiation protection aspects need to be considered during the operation of these high yield NGs. In this paper the neutron effective dose of a NG operator has been calculated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. The results sh...
