The large magnitude and the sign correlation effect in the parity non-conserving resonant scattering of epithermal neutrons from Th is discussed in terms of a non-collective 2p− 1h local doorway model. General conclusions are drawn as to the probability of finding large parity violation effects in other regions of the periodic table. PACS numbers: 25.40.Ny, 11.30.Er, 24.10.Ht, 24.80.Dc CTP# 229...

The thermal and epithermal neutrons are powerful probes to inspect water or high-pressure hydrogen gas because of their large scattering cross-sections with protons. Laser-driven neutron source, which is able simultaneously emit different types radiations such as x rays, can be used for x-ray radiography in the same laser shot. In this paper, we report demonstration non-destructive inspection H...

Largely enhanced parity-violating effects observed in compound resonances induced by epithermal neutrons are currently attributed to the mixing of parity-unfavored partial amplitudes entrance channel states. Furthermore, it is proposed that same mechanism enhances parity-violation also breaking time-reversal-invariance nucleus. The entrance-channel induces energy-dependent spin-angular correlat...

The electron linear accelerator facility at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was used to explore neutron interactions with molybdenum in the energy region from 10 eV to 2 keV. Neutron capture and transmission measurements were performed by the time-of-flight technique. Resonance parameters were extracted from the data using the multilevel R-matrix Bayesian code SAMMY. A table of resonance p...

A geologic analysis of 274 images acquired by the high-resolution MOC camera onboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft within the Arabia Terra low neutron flux anomaly (which is indicative of an anomalously high abundance of hydrogen: up to 16 wt % of the equivalent amount of water) was performed. Correlation between the enhanced abundance of equivalent water with the presence of dust on the ...

Epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA) has been applied to study elemental composition of Cr(VI)-reducer bacteria isolated from polluted basalts from the Republic of Georgia. Cr(VI)-reducing ability of the bacteria was examined by electron spin resonance, demonstrating that the bacteria differ in their rates of Cr(VI) reduction. A well-pronounced correlation between the ability of the ba...
