A neutron spectrometer was acquired for use in the measurement of National Institute of Standards and Technology neutron fields. The spectrometer included options for the measurement of low and high energy neutrons, for a total measurement range from 0.01 eV up to 17 MeV. The spectrometer was evaluated in calibration fields and was used to determine the neutron spectrum of an Americium-Berylliu...

high spin states in the neutron rich nucleus 191os has been populated for the first time using the82se+192os deep-inelastic reaction at 460 mev beam energy using the alpi accelerators at the laboratorynazionali di legnaro, italy. high fold γ-γ coincidences were acquired with the 4π spectrometer gaspdetector array, consisting of 40 compton-suppressed, large-volume germanium detectors with an inn...

Two types of ultra high energy resolution neutron scattering instruments, the backscattering spectrometer and the spin echo spectrometer, are described. Examples of the types of research which can be done with these instruments are given and plans for a cold neutron backscattering spectrometer which will be built in the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF) are discussed. It is hoped that ...

A new automated bench for irradiation, using a AmBe neutron source, has been installed in the neutronics hall at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). In order to determine the neutron field features on the bench a neutron spectrometry, using the Bonner sphere spectrometer, campaign was carried out with the participation of four research teams. Each team used their own spectrometer with ...

Superheated drops are known to vaporise when exposed to energetic nuclear radiation since the discovery of bubble chamber. The application of superheated drops in neutron research specially in neutron dosimetry is a subject of intense research for quite sometime. As the degree of superheat increases in a given liquid, less and less energetic neutrons are required to cause nucleation. This prope...

A fixed-point measurement of cosmic-ray intensity has being continued at Chiba, near Tokyo in Japan to obtain the time-sequential data. High efficiency neutron rem counter and Multi-sphere neutron Spectrometer (Bonner Sphere: BS) were used for the measurement of cosmic-ray neutron components and for the evaluation of the cosmic-ray ionizing components, NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer was emp...

The inverted geometry time-of-flight spectrometer NERA designed for simultaneous investigation of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering was constructed on a 100 meter long flight path of the IBR-2 reactor at JINR, Dubna, Russia. Spectrometer parameters were optimized for the thermal neutron spectrum of a water moderator at 330 K. Recently, a new type of cold neutron source operating at 30 K ...

We present the status of the development of a dedicated high density ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source dedicated to the gravitational spectrometer GRANIT. The source employs superthermal conversion of cold neutrons to UCN in superfluid helium. Tests have shown that UCN produced inside the liquid can be extracted into vacuum. Furthermore a dedicated neutron selection channel was tested to maintain...

The knowledge of neutron and gamma ray energy spectra can strongly influence the BNCT information about delivered dose to target volume as well as to the surface healthy tissue region. This region is very often decisive to stay within the recommended healthy tissue limit. Modification of neutron Bonner spectrometer to one block i.e. Bonner spectrometer monoblock (BSM) and gamma ray Si semicondu...
