A compact neutron generator using a field ionization source.
Field ionization as a means to create ions for compact and rugged neutron sources is pursued. Arrays of carbon nano-fibers promise the high field-enhancement factors required for efficient field ionization. We report on the fabrication of arrays of field emitters with a density up to 10(6) tips∕cm(2) and measure their performance characteristics using electron field emission. The critical issue...
متن کاملA Compact Strong-scatter Scintillation Model
This document describes numerical solutions to the 4-order moment equation for scintillation under strong scatter conditions. It is well known that scintillation depends on the parameters that describe the structure size distribution, and the Fresnel radius. However, in an unconstrained fixed power-law environment, the theory can be formulated in terms of a single parameter. In effect, differen...
متن کاملCompact thermal neutron sensors for moderator-based neutron spectrometers.
In the framework of the NESCOFI@BTF project of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics, different types of active thermal neutron sensors were studied by coupling semiconductor devices with a suitable radiator. The objective was to develop a detector of small dimensions with a proper sensitivity to use at different positions in a novel moderating assembly for neutron spectrometry. This work di...
متن کاملOptimised BNCT facility based on a compact D-D neutron generator
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...
متن کاملConceptual design of a neutron camera for MAST Upgrade.
This paper presents two different conceptual designs of neutron cameras for Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) Upgrade. The first one consists of two horizontal cameras, one equatorial and one vertically down-shifted by 65 cm. The second design, viewing the plasma in a poloidal section, also consists of two cameras, one radial and the other one with a diagonal view. Design parameters for the ...
