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...

At the ILC, the overall scheme for a precise measurement of the beam polarisation conists in the usage of two Compton polarimeters per beam (upand downstream of the e+e− interaction point) and a polarisation measurement from annihilation data [1, 2] to set the absolute scale. The two upand downstream polarimeters are complementary, add redundancy and are used to intercalibrate the systems and r...

background: to evaluate the effects of hyperthermia (ht) on the frequency of chromosomal aberrations induced by a low dose of neutron or γ-rays in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. materials and methods: blood samples were exposed to ht (41.5°c for 30 and 60min, 43°c for 15 and 30min), 10 cgy neutron or γ-rays, ht + neutron/γ, and neutron/γ + ht. after standard cell culture, harvesting, fixat...

Recent studies have highlighted a polarisation in the distribution of work during the 1980s, and some have conjectured that this polarisation has been a principal cause of the rise in income inequality. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey, we document the pattern of work polarisation during the first half of the 1990s and show that polarisation was not mainly responsible for inco...

The deceptively simple inorganic salt ammonium sulfate undergoes a ferroelectric phase transition associated with very large entropy change and both electrocaloric barocaloric functionality. While the structural origins of electrical polarisation are now well established, those have been controversial for over 50 years. This question is resolved here using combination density-functional theory ...

Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a very promising treatment for patients suffering gliobastoma multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer, where conventional radiation therapies fail. Thermal neutrons are suitable for the direct treatment of cancers which are located at near-tissue-surface deep-seated tumors need harder, epithermal neutron energy spectra. Materials and Me...

In the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. We have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. According to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.

Background: In neutron interaction with matter and reduction of neutron energy due to multiple scatterings to the thermal energy range, increasing the probability of thermal neutron capture by neutron captures makes dose enhancement in the tumors loaded with these materials. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate dose distribution in the presence of 10B, 157Gd and 33S neutron...
