MoNA—The Modular Neutron Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA), a highly efficient time-of-flight neutron detector, is being constructed for use at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The modular design of the detector provides significant flexibility and allows the bulk of the assembly and testing to be done by undergraduates at nine of the schools participating in the project. r 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

Exploring Neutron-Rich Oxygen Isotopes with MoNA
The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) was used in conjunction with a large-gap dipole magnet (Sweeper) to measure neutron-unbound states in oxygen isotopes close to the neutron dripline. While no excited states were observed in 24O, a resonance at 45(2) keV above the neutron separation energy was observed in 23O.
متن کاملMoNA and initial measurements with 7 He Resonance
MoNA and initial measurements with He Resonance * Of recent interest in the study of exotic nuclei are neutron rich nuclei near and beyond the drip line. Using radioactive beams produced at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) detector, and a 4 Tesla sweeper magnet it is possible to study these nuclei. MoNA is a large area, high-efficiency n...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Photoneutron Source by MCNPX Monte Carlo Code for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...
متن کاملA maze learning comparison of Elman, long short-term memory, and Mona neural networks
This study compares the maze learning performance of three artificial neural network architectures: an Elman recurrent neural network, a long short-term memory (LSTM) network, and Mona, a goal-seeking neural network. The mazes are networks of distinctly marked rooms randomly interconnected by doors that open probabilistically. The mazes are used to examine two important problems related to arti...
