The most important part of neutron therapy treatment (NCT1) is to achieve a beam of neutrons with suitable energy and intensity, as well as the least pollution and damage. In this study, in order to correct the neutron spectrum from D-D fusion and its use in neutron therapy, a set of different materials which are called the Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) was placed in the direction of energy 2.45 ...

The silver activation counters are commonly used for pulsed-neutron yield measurements especially in plasma focus devices. The counter normally consists of a Geiger-Muller tube along with silver foils and polyethylene (as a moderator), which is calibrated against an Am-Be radioisotope neutron source. The neutrons, after being slowed-down in the polyethylene, activate the silver foils. By measur...

 Bi-based and Ag-doped superconductors were irradiated by neutrons. Experimental result showed that XRD patern-intensity of irradiated Bi-based sample was decreased and The Tc of these samples were decreased by 7-10 K. The neutron irradiated sample was also found to decrease by 50% the normal state resistivity of samples. Therefore, neutron irradiation is a useful method to improve the supercon...

Neutron individual dosimetry is challenging subject in dosimetry field. Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is one of the types of personal dosimeters that is extremely used to determine the doses of neutron sources. Typically, this type of dosimeter is used in different centers with a variety of applications after calibration with a standard neutron radiation sources. Usually, materials of TL cr...

  In this project the neutron spectra from the reaction of deutron on beryllium muclei is measured. The energies of deuterons were 7, 10, 13 and 15 MeV, and these measurements are performed at 10, 30 and 50 degrees relative to the beam of deutrons. The detector used is 76 by 76 mm right circular cylender of NE-213 liquid scintillator. The zero crossing technique is used for gamma discriminatin....
