Neutron radioactivity—Lifetime measurements of neutron-unbound states
A new technique to measure the lifetime � of a neutron-radioactive nucleus that decays in-flight via neutron emission is presented and demonstrated utilizing MonteCarlo simulations. The method is based on the production of the neutron-unbound nucleus in a target, which at the same time slows down the produced nucleus and the residual nucleus after (multi-) neutron emission. The spectrum of the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of radioactivity in the bodies of mice induced by neutron exposure from an epi-thermal neutron source of an accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy system
This study aimed to evaluate the residual radioactivity in mice induced by neutron irradiation with an accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) system using a solid Li target. The radionuclides and their activities were evaluated using a high-purity germanium (HP-Ge) detector. The saturated radioactivity of the irradiated mouse was estimated to assess the radiation protection need...
متن کاملBenchmark Calculations of Neutron Production and Induced Radioactivity for a Proton and a Carbon Therapy Accelerator*
This study intends to predict the scope of neutron production and induced radioactivity for two therapy accelerators in Taiwan: 235 MeV proton and 400 MeV/A carbon ion accelerators. For radiation safety concern, much effort has been put into associated benchmark calculations to ensure the quality of predictions. Two Monte Carlo codes FLUKA and MCNPX were applied to calculate the neutron yield f...
متن کاملInduced radioactivity in the blood of cancer patients following Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Since 1990, Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) has been used for over 400 cancer patients at the Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI). After BNCT, the patients are radioactive and their (24)Na and (38)Cl levels can be detected via a Na-I scintillation counter. This activity is predominantly due to (24)Na, which has a half-life of 14.96 h and thus remains in the body for extende...
متن کامل“scrubbing” Process of Cu Surfaces Induced by Electron Bombardment
We studied energy distribution of electrons emitted from samples of the real Cu surface used in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The spectra have been detected as a function of scrubbing conditions and have been analyzed by dividing the whole energy range into three energy regions, conventionally termed reflected, rediffused and true-secondary electrons. We observe, for fixed electron impact en...
