background: several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested up to now. neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are the nuclear methods used for landmine detection. in this paper an optimized (safe and effective) moderating structure using an 241am-be neutron source for detecting landmines has been invest...

Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is recommended to treat the glioblastoma tumor. It is well known that neuron beams are more effective treatment than photon beams to treat hypoxia tumors due to interaction of neutron with nucleus and production of heavy particles such as 7Li and alpha particle. In this study to evaluate the suitability of BNCT for treating of ...

Introduction: In recent years, the use of neutrons has increased in various fields such as medicine and industry. One of the important applications of neutrons is in medical research. Neutrons have greater linear energy transfer than gamma rays and are considered more dangerous radiation. Hence, the detection and determination of neutron dose is a very important and vital issu...

Abstract The ? -delayed neutron-emission probabilities of 28 exotic neutron-rich isotopes Pm, Sm, Eu, and Gd were measured for the first time at RIKEN Nishina Center using Advanced Implantation Detector Array (AIDA) BRIKEN neutron detector array. existing -decay half-life ( T 1/2 ) database was significantly increased toward more isotopes, uncertainties previously values decreased. new data not...

The aCORN experiment measures the neutron-decay electron-antineutrino correlation ($a$ coefficient) using a novel method based on an asymmetry in proton time-of-flight for events where beta electron and recoil are detected delayed coincidence. We report data analysis result from second run at NIST Center Neutron Research, high-flux cold neutron beam new NG-C guide end position: $a=\ensuremath{-...

Yields of neutron-rich isotopes produced by fast neutron induced fission of U were measured at the ISOL set-up Production d Atomes Radioactifs Riches en Neutrons. A surface ion source was used to ionize selectively elements with low ionization potentials. In order to observe also the most n-rich isotopes, the identification was achieved by a combined measurement of band c-rays and b-delayed neu...

A hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) is a possible transient formed after the merger of a neutron-star binary. In the latest axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations in full general relativity, we find that a magnetized HMNS undergoes "delayed" collapse to a rotating black hole (BH) as a result of angular momentum transport via magnetic braking and the magnetorotational instability. The outco...

pattern by making it difficult to delimit sectors clearly. Although the data at hand precluded the possibility of making rigorous comparisons between plants arising from seed subjected to thermal neutrons and plants from x-irradiated seed, no developmental or morphological disturbances or lethality patterns in Datura unique to either kind of treatment were detected. Caldecott, Frolik, and Morri...
