Sensitive and fast detection of neutrons gamma rays is vital for homeland security, high-energy physics, proton therapy. Fast-neutron detectors rely on light organic scintillators, γ-ray use heavy inorganic scintillators semiconductors. Efficient mixed-field using a single material highly challenging due to their contradictory requirements. Here we report hybrid perovskites (C8H12N)2Pb(Br1−xClx...

introduction electron linear accelerator (linac) can be used for neutron production in boron neutron capture therapy (bnct). bnct is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. in this study, varian 2300 c/d linac was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for bnct. materials and methods photoneutron sources w...

The dosimetric properties of fast-neutron beams with energies ≤80 MeV were explored using Monte Carlo techniques. Taking into account transport of all relevant types of released charged particles (electrons, protons, deuterons, tritons, 3He and α particles) pencil-beam dose distributions were derived and used to calculate absorbed dose distributions. Broad-beam depth doses in phantoms of differ...

Introduction: This study aimed to measure the neutron contamination of flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) 10-MV photon beams delivered by the Elekta InfinityTM accelerator. Material and Methods: The photoneutron spectrum produced by the Linac head was evaluated using a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The geometry ...

INTRODUCTION Several compositions of neutron filters have been installed at the channel No. 4 of the Dalat research reactor to produce quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams. However, this neutron facility has been proposed to enhance the quality of the experimental instruments, and to characterize the neutron spectrum parameters for new filtered neutron beams of 2 keV, 24 keV, 59 keV and 133 keV. ...

We present the development and characterization of thin tile scintillator detectors with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) readout for use in a multi-layer fast-neutron tracker. The tracker is based on interleaved Timepix and plastic scintillator layers [1]. Fast-neutrons recoil protons in the plastic scintillators, which may then travel to and stop in the neighboring Timepix. Using the measured r...

At present work, under initial inventory with Th and U, the evolution of nuclides in subcritical devices under given thermal, fast, hardening fast and fission neutron field are studied without the detail structure of sub-critical device and the burn-up being considered. It is supposed that the subcritical reactor consists of uniform in which the flux of neutron is homogeneous. The fissile nucli...
