Production of powder targets for neutron-induced cross section measurements

Neodymium neutron cross section measurements.

Neutron capture and transmission measurements were performed by the time-of-flight technique at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute LINAC using metallic neodymium samples. The capture measurements were made at the 25-m-long flight station with a 16-segment NaI(Tl) multiplicity detector, and the transmission measurements were performed at 15 and 25 m flight stations with a 6Li glass scintillati...

The Status of Cross Section Measurements for Neutron-induced Reactions Needed for Cosmic Ray

Introduction: Cosmic ray interactions with lunar rocks and meteorites produce small amounts of radio-nuclides and stable isotopes. Advances in Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) allow production rates to be measured routinely in well-documented lunar rocks and meteorites. These measurements are analyzed using theoretical models to learn about the object itself and the history of the cosmic ray...

Measurements of the neutron - proton and neutron - carbon total cross section from 150 to 800 keV

Threshold Cross Section Measurements

Accurate measurements of particles masses, couplings and widths are possible by measuring production cross sections near threshold. We discuss the prospects for performing such measurements at a high luminosity muon collider.

Zz Cross Section Measurements

Results on the cross section measurement of Z boson pair–production at LEP 1,2 are presented. The more general case of neutral–current four–fermion production and the particular case of ZZ events enriched in b quarks are also discussed. All the results agree with the Standard Model predictions.
