Analogies 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 کاملNeutron Capture Gamma Rays ( Thermal Neutron
Detection of landmines using nuclear techniques has been studied extensively since the late 1940s. Nuclear techniques look at either a return radiation, which is characteristic of explosive components that are infrequently found in soil (e.g., nitrogen or carbon), or an intensity change of a noncharacteristic scattered radiation, which is a function of a parameter that differs between soil and ...
متن کاملConstraints 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 کاملGlass-ceramic X-ray and Thermal Neutron Imaging Plates
We report the results of spatial resolution and conversion efficiency measurements on new fluorochlorozirconate and lithium-borate glass-ceramics that are being researched for x-ray and thermal neutron imaging applications. The sensitivity of the fluorochlorozirconate glass-ceramics containing BaCl2:Eu nano-crystallites is up to 80 % of that found in BaFBr(1000ppm Eu), which is the material use...
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...
