The $\beta$ decay of the neutron-rich $^{134}$In and $^{135}$In was investigated experimentally in order to provide new insights into nuclear structure tin isotopes with magic proton number $Z=50$ above $N=82$ shell. $\beta$-delayed $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy measurement performed at ISOLDE facility CERN, where indium were selectively laser-ionized on-line mass separated. Three $\beta$-decay bra...

Experiments to perform precision spectroscopy of fast neutron induced fission were carried out during the ν-Ball experimental campaign at ALTO facility IJC Laboratory Orsay. Low energy 232 Th(n,f), 238 U(n,f) and spontaneous 252 Cf studied using this hybrid highresolution spectrometer calorimeter. New observables such as γ-ray multiplicity distributions correlated with specific fragments are pr...

Epithermal and Fast Neutron Radiography (FNR) are complementary to the conventional radiography with high energy gamma-rays or brems-strahlung radiation and which iarecommonly used for the inspection of thick metal objects. The advantage of using high energy neutrons for radiographic examination of thick metal objects is their higher penetration power and improved contrast sensitivity. Rather l...

Background: The characteristics of secondary neutrons in a high energy radiation therapy room were studied using the MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: Two MC models including a model with full description of head components and a simplified model used in previous studies were implemented for MC simulations. Results: Results showed 4-53% difference between full and wit...

Pulse shape discrimination performances of single stilbene crystal, EJ-299-33 plastic and Li loaded plastic scintillators have been compared. Pulse Gradient Analysis pulse shape discrimination algorithm has been tested for each scintillator sample, assessing their neutron/gamma separation. In this study each scintillator sample was irradiated with a Cf neutron source and, a real-time fast digit...

PURPOSE Research and development of various accelerator-based irradiation systems for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is underway throughout the world. Many of these systems are nearing or have started clinical trials. Before the start of treatment with BNCT, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for the fast neutrons (over 10 keV) incident to the irradiation field must be estimated....

Background: A 5 Ci 241Am-Be radio isotopic neutron source-based prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) setup was designed for estimation of minimum detectable concentration (MDC) of elements in aqueous solutions. Materials and Methods: Performance variables related to PGNAA setup (source to sample distance, sample to detector distance and volume of water) were optimized experimentally...
