Miniature Neutron-Alpha Activation Spectrometer
We are developing a miniature neutron-alpha activation spectrometer for in-situ analysis of chem-bio samples, including rocks, fines, ices, and drill cores, suitable for a lander or Rover platform for Mars or outer-planet missions. In the neutron-activation mode, penetrating analysis will be performed of the whole sample using a y spectrometer and in the ex-activation mode, the sample surface w...
متن کامل10B Concentration, Phantom Size and Tumor Location Dependent Dose Enhancement and Neutron Spectra in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Background: The amount of average dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B may vary due to various factors in boron neutron capture therapy.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B under influence of various factors and investigate the dependence of this dose enhancement on neutron spectra changes.Material and Methods: In this simulation stud...
متن کاملThe compact neutron spectrometer at ASDEX Upgrade.
The first neutron spectrometer of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) was installed in November 2008. It is a compact neutron spectrometer (CNS) based on a BC501A liquid scintillating detector, which can simultaneously measure 2.45-MeV and 14-MeV neutrons emitted from deuterium (D) plasmas and γ radiation. The scintillating detector is coupled to a digital pulse shape discrimination data acquisition (DPSD) sys...
متن کاملBoron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) - Low-Energy Neutron Spectrometer for Neutron Field Characterization -∗)
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is known to be a promising and new cancer therapy which can kill tumor cells suppressing damage to normal tissues. Recently, accelerator based neutron sources (ABNS) for BNCT are under development especially in Japan. For characterization of the neutron field, we carried out the series study concerning thermal/epi-thermal neutron spectrometry especially for ...
متن کاملModification of a Uv Spectrometer into a Neutron Detector Using Neutron-sensitive Scintillating Material
This report describes the design and development of a plastic scintillating high energy neutron detector to be implemented as a micro-class satellite payload. The primary function of this detector is to identify and characterize the energy distribution of solar accelerated neutrons resulting from massive solar events. Accelerated neutrons will be identified by a pulse counting system using the ...
