Tagging fast neutrons from a 252Cf fission-fragment source.
Coincidence and time-of-flight measurement techniques are employed to tag fission neutrons emitted from a 252Cf source sealed on one side with a very thin layer of Au. The source is positioned within a gaseous 4He scintillator detector. Together with α particles, both light and heavy fission fragments pass through the thin layer of Au and are detected. The fragments enable the corresponding fis...
متن کاملExperimentally Induced Chromosome Aberrations in Plants
The discovery of Lilly and Thoday, that the presence of potassium cyanide (KCN) increases the production of chromosome aberrations by x-rays in anoxia, but has no effect on the production of chromosome aberrations by x-rays in air, was confirmed. In the presence of cyanide, the effect of a given dose of x-rays in nitrogen was found to be even greater than the effect of the same dose of x-rays i...
متن کاملRadiation-induced chromosome aberrations: insights gained from biophysical modeling.
Enzymatic misrepair of ionizing-radiation-induced DNA damage can produce large-scale rearrangements of the genome, such as translocations and dicentrics. These and other chromosome exchange aberrations can cause major phenotypic alterations, including cell death, mutation and neoplasia. Exchange formation requires that two (or more) genomic loci come together spatially. Consequently, the surpri...

The interest in the genetic and cytological effects of cyanide was greatly stimulated by the accumulation of data which indicated that hydrogen peroxide was involved in the production of mutations and chromosome aberrations by radiations (46, 43). If hydrogen peroxide is an important cause of mutation and chromosome breakage it would be expected that by inhibiting catalase and peroxidase (the e...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of radiation-induced chromosome aberrations.
We review chromosome aberration modeling and its applications, especially to biodosimetry and to characterizing chromosome geometry. Standard results on aberration formation pathways, randomness, dose-response, proximity effects, transmissibility, kinetics, and relations to other radiobiological endpoints are summarized. We also outline recent work on graph-theoretical descriptions of aberratio...
