Fast Neutron Activation Analysis at the NCSRD Tandem Accelerator facility: Prognosis and Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutron Activation Analysis Prognosis and Optimization (NAAPRO) code was applied for the prognosis of activation products, their activities, number counts recorded in detector, minimum detection limits as well gamma spectrum obtained fast neutron analysis experiments. Simulations were performed geological biological reference materials irradiated with 14 MeV neutrons at 5.5 MV NCSRD tandem accelerator facility. The results study demonstrated analytical capabilities and, moreover, allowed optimization FNAA parameters, while avoiding performance difficult time-consuming experimental tests

Shielding studies on a total-body neutron activation facility
Background: Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. Also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252Cf and 241Am-Be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Tandem-Electrostatic-Quadrupole facility for Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy.
We describe the present status of an ongoing project to develop a Tandem-ElectroStatic-Quadrupole (TESQ) accelerator facility for Accelerator-Based (AB)-BNCT. The project final goal is a machine capable of delivering 30 mA of 2.4 MeV protons to be used in conjunction with a neutron production target based on the (7)Li(p,n)(7)Be reaction. The machine currently being constructed is a folded TESQ ...
متن کاملNeutron activation diagnostics at the National Ignition Facility (invited).
Neutron yields are measured at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) by an extensive suite of neutron activation diagnostics. Neutrons interact with materials whose reaction cross sections threshold just below the fusion neutron production energy, providing an accurate measure of primary unscattered neutrons without contribution from lower-energy scattered neutrons. Indium samples are mounted on...
