Neutron Monitor Response Functions
The neutron monitor provides continuous ground-based recording of the hadronic component in atmospheric secondary radiation which is related to primary cosmic rays. Simpson (1948) discovered that the latitude variation of the secondary hadronic component was considerably larger than the muon component suggesting the response of a neutron monitor is more sensitive to lower energies in the primar...
متن کاملCharacterization of the IRSN neutron multisphere spectrometer (HERMEIS) at European standard calibration fields
The Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) has developed a new spectrometry system for neutron energies from 10−9 MeV to 10 GeV. This high energy range multisphere extended IRSN system (HERMEIS) is a high gas pressure3He-based Bonner spheres set. It is adapted to low neutron fluence rate measurements and one of its main application concerns the determination of cosmic-r...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Portable Neutron Coincidence Counter
Neutron coincidence counting is a technique widely used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of nuclear material. Because different isotopes possess different coincident neutron characteristics, the coincident neutron signature can be used to identify and quantify a given material. In an effort to identify unknown nuclear samples in field inspections, a new portable neutron coincidence cou...
متن کاملA graphite-moderated pulsed spallation ultra-cold neutron source
Proposals exist and efforts are under way to construct pulsed spallation ultra-cold neutron (UCN) sources at accelerator laboratories around the world. At the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland, and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), U.S.A., it is planned to use solid deuterium (SD2) for the UCN production from cold neutrons. The philosophies about how the cold neutrons are ob...
متن کاملThe neutron long counter NERO for studies of b delayed neutron emission in the r-process
The neutron long counter NERO was built at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), Michigan State University, for measuring b delayed neutron-emission probabilities. The detector was designed to work in conjunction with a b delay implantation station, so that b decays and b delayed neutrons emitted from implanted nuclei can be measured simultaneously. The high efficiency of ab...
