Multiple-wavelength neutron holography with pulsed neutrons
Local structures around impurities in solids provide important information for understanding the mechanisms of material functions, because most of them are controlled by dopants. For this purpose, the x-ray absorption fine structure method, which provides radial distribution functions around specific elements, is most widely used. However, a similar method using neutron techniques has not yet b...
متن کاملEpithermal Neutron Beam Generator Design for Bnct
BNCT is a radiotherapy modality based on the neutron capture and fission reactions that occur when boron-10 is irradiated by thermal neutrons. This reaction generates alpha and lithium that produce high density of ionizations in close to the reaction site. The concept provides high absorbed doses into the cancerous cells preserving the adjacent healthy tissues. Nowadays, the available neutron s...
متن کاملAccelerator based epithermal neutron source for NCT
Nowadays neutron capture therapy looks very promising method of cancer treatment, especially for brain tumors by reason of selective damage cancer cells. Treatment effect of this method based on neutrons nuclear reaction with nuclides B, Gd. These nuclides have high cross-section of interaction with thermal neutrons. Unfortunately, thermal neutrons could enter only in near surface tissue and co...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Models of Neutron Detection with Organic Scintillators
We describe the use of the MCNP-PoliMi code to simulate, on an event-by-event basis, the detection of neutrons by organic scintillators. This code keeps track of single neutron interactions, including the collision nucleus, the energy deposited, and the time distribution of collision events. We show that the total pulse-height response is given by the sum of many possible neutron histories, eac...
متن کاملNeutron Imaging at Spallation Neutron Sources
Neutron imaging is a powerful method for non-destructive investigations where the high penetration through metals and the high contrast for hydrogenous materials is exploited in particular. The complementary to X-ray studies is a clever alternative in many cases of scientific and industrial applications. Reactor based neutron sources are becoming less available, caused by the shutdown of aged f...
