Neutron skyshine from nuclear facilities.

Neutron skyshine measurements at Fermilab.

Neutron skyshine has been a significant source of environmental radiation exposure at many high-energy proton accelerators. A particularly troublesome source of skyshine neutrons has existed at Fermilab during operation of the 400-GeV high-energy physics program. This paper reports on several measurements of this source made with a DePangher precision long counter at large distances. The spatia...

Neutron Structure Functions From Nuclear Data

The spin-averaged structure function of the neutron, F n 2 , is extracted from recent deuteron data, taking into account the small but significant corrections from nuclear effects in the deuteron. At small x, the F D 2 /F p 2 ratio measured by the New Muon and Fermilab E665 Collaborations is interpreted to suggest a small amount of shadowing in deuterium, which acts to enhance F n 2 for x < ∼ 0...

Nuclear structure from Nuclei to Neutron stars

Introduction to Neutron Scattering and ORNL Neutron Facilities

Neutron scattering has been a very powerful probe in the research to the lattice and magnetic structures of various kinds of materials now. In this paper, I will first give a brief introduction of the history of neutron scattering. Then, in the second part, I will talk about the properties of neutron scattering, present its basic mechanism and unique properties. After that, I will give some exa...
