Evaluation of Cosmic Rays for Use in the Monitoring of the MEDUSA Scintillator-Photomultiplier Diagnostic Array

چکیده
Current and planned ICF implosion experiments require the detailed measurement of physical conditions on the imploded core. Glass and plastic shells filled with D2 open a window into the core by measuring the ratio of the various fusion reactions occurring during the implosion.l The number of each reaction is measured by characterization of the energy spectrum for the penetrating reaction products (either neutrons or protons). The measurement of the neutron energy spectrum around the 3-MeV neutron from the d(d,He3)n reaction and around the 14-MeV neutron from the d(t,He4)n reaction has evolved into the most used nuclear core diagnostic.

Investigating the capability of plastic scintillation detectors in design of a muon radiography system by Geant4 code
Imaging and identifying materials with high atomic numbers and densities, especially radioactive materials, is one of the issues that have been especially considered in recent years. Due to some limitations in conventional and old imaging techniques, finding an alternative method is very important. The cosmic muons with an infinite source are one of the sources that have been recently studied f...
متن کاملDevelopment of a compact scintillator hodoscope with wavelength-shifting fibre read-out
We report on the prototyping of a plastic scintillator hodoscope with wavelengthshifting fibre read-out by a multi-anode photomultiplier as part of the development of a detector for cosmic ray muons to be carried aboard an aircraft. Light yield and light attenuation measurements on singleand double-clad wavelength-shifting fibres were performed. Low power, low-threshold, discriminators were des...
متن کاملSimulation Calibration of an Extensive Air Shower array, by a logged data set of its small prototype
Alborz observatory is an EAS array in the heights of Alborez mountain chain near Tehran. For the development of the array, more number of detectors is inevitable. The managing the financial resources and achieving the highest efficiency of the array is important for the project. Therefore, Water Cherenkov Detectors has been used for 9 months in the same way as the previous experiment with Scint...
متن کاملGeomagnetic Field Eect over Azimuth Anisotropy of Cosmic Rays via Study of Primary Particles
Geomagnetic field is a one of the candidates for creation of anisotropy in azimuth distribution of extensive air showers over the entered cosmic rays to the atmosphere. Here we present the question: Is there any azimuth anisotropy flux in the upper level of the atmosphere due to the geomagnetic field over the entered cosmic-rays? The obtained answer is: yes. This investigation showed an agreeme...
متن کاملDetailed analysis of observed antiprotons in cosmic rays
In the present work, the origin of antiprotons observed in cosmic rays (above the atmosphere) is analyzed in details. We have considered the origin of the primaries, (which their interactions with the interstellar medium is one of the most important sources of antiprotons) is a supernova type II then used a diffusion model for their propagation. We have used the latest parameterization for anti...
