NXS - a program library for neutron cross section calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
A collection of routines calculating neutron scattering and absorption cross sections on the basis of crystal structure descriptions is presented and implemented into the new and reusable nxs program library. An example program providing a graphical user interface to the nxs functions is created to demonstrate their usage. The flexibility of the library and the possibilities for multiple areas of application are shown by further examples involving Monte Carlo neutron simulations concerned with imaging experiment validation and neutron instrument development.

Experimental comparison of thermal neutron absorption cross section in nano and micro particles
The neutron collision cross-section is important in neutron use for a specific job, such as neutron therapy or even in nuclear reactors. In calculating computational codes such as MCNP, only information from the neutron-to-mass collision information contained in the computational code library is used, in the case of nanoscale particles in contrast to the mass of materials and / or particulate m...
متن کاملNon-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...

متن کاملFast Neutron Scattering Measurements with Lead
Fast neutron scattering from natural lead was measured at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s (RPI) Gaerttner Linear Accelerator Center (LINAC). This measurement was performed using eight detectors positioned at different solid angles, with neutron events recorded in time of flight. This experiment used liquid scintillator EJ301 detectors and a tantalum photo-neutron target, which were optim...
