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...

Orbital measurements of neu tro ns by the Lunar Explori ng Neutron Detector (LEN D) onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter are being used to quantify the spatial dis tribution of near surface hydrogen (H). In fe rred H concentration maps have low signal-to-noise (SN) and image restoration (IR) techniques are being studied to enhance results. A single-blind. two-phase study is described in whi...

Transportable accelerator sources of epithermal neutrons are crucial for the development of hospital-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as a treatment modality for brain cancers. One method for producing such epithermal neutrons is near-threshold (p,n) reactions as studied by our group, as well as several other investigators. As part of this e€ort, we have developed accurate methods for...

We analyze the flux of epithermal neutrons from the Martian surface recorded by the Russian HighEnergy Neutron Detector (HEND) from February 19 through December 19, 2002. The HEND was installed onboard the NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft and is designed to measure neutron fluxes with energies above 1 eV. Over the period of observations, statistically significant variations in the flux of epit...

PURPOSE This report addresses the incidence of vascular endothelial cell apoptosis in the mouse small intestine in relation to the radiation-induced gastrointestinal (GI) syndrome. METHODS AND MATERIALS Nonanesthetized mice received whole-body irradiation at doses above and below the threshold for death from the GI syndrome with 250 kVp X-rays, (137)Cs gamma rays, epithermal neutrons alone, o...
