Modelling Neutron-induced Reactions on 232–237U from 10 keV up to 30 MeV

The Preliminary Cosmic Di use - Ray Spectrum from 800 keV to 30 MeV Measured with COMPTELS

We report a preliminary Cosmic Diiuse-ray (CDG) spectrum from 800 keV to 30 MeV obtained with the COMPTEL instrument, the Imaging Compton Telescope on-board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The spectrum is constructed by measuring the count rate of rays from high galactic latitudes and rst extrapolating the rate to a zero cosmic-ray ux environment to eliminate the prompt background. The promp...

Air kerma to HP(3) conversion coefficients for photons from 10 keV to 10 MeV, calculated in a cylindrical phantom.

In the framework of the ORAMED project (Optimization of RAdiation protection for MEDical staff), funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme, different studies were aimed at improving the quality of radiation protection in interventional radiology and nuclear medicine. The main results of the project were presented during a final workshop held in Barcelona in January 2011, the proc...

Neutron-induced fission cross section of 240Pu from 0.5 MeV to 3 MeV

240Pu has recently been pointed out by a sensitivity study of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to be one of the isotopes whose fission cross section lacks accuracy to meet the upcoming needs for the future generation of nuclear power plants (GEN-IV). In the High Priority Request List (HPRL) of the OECD, it is suggested that the knowled...

High-Resolution Ion Implantation from keV to MeV

Neutron-induced deuteron production from light nuclei at 800 MeV

The deuteron sepctra from {n,d) reactions at 800 MeV near 0' are characterized by a high energy quasielastic scattering peak, and at lower momentum, a quasifree scattering peak. The ratio of the quasifree to quasielastic cross sections is approximately 10:1.Both cross sections exhibit an A '" mass dependence over the range of target nuclei studied. Comparisons are made with corresponding proton...
