Activation detectors for 2.50-MeV pulsed neutron sources

Novel microstrip detectors and data acquisition strategies for thermal neutron imaging at the next generation pulsed neutron sources

For thermal neutron imaging at the next generation of high-flux pulsed neutron sources microstrip detectors with solid state neutron converter foils are presently being developed in different laboratories with the objective to improve the resolution and count rate limits by orders of magnitude in comparison with the presently available neutron detector types, in particular compared to multiwire...

NLC Pulsed Extraction for 250 GeV Beams

We present an architecture which permits extraction of bunch trains from the NLC main linac at the 250 GeV point while preserving the quality of the beam.

Optimized Magnet for a 250 Mev Proton Radiotherapy Cyclotron

Neutron Detectors

Mechanisms for detecting neutrons in matter are based on indirect methods. Neutrons, as their name suggests, are neutral. Also, they do not interact directly with the electrons in matter, as gamma ray$ do. The process of neutron detection begins when neutrons, interacting with various nuclei, initiate the release of one or more charged particles. The electrical signrdsproduced by the charged pa...

MeV Neutron Generator – Literature Review

A 14 MeV neutron generator described in this paper.Neutrons are produced in D-T, D-D,T-T reactions. The production of 14 MeV neutrons from DD neutrons generator resulting from tritium build up from d(d,p)t reaction in the target under 30mA, 300 KeV deuteron beam, bombarding a water-cooled, rotating target, size of beam spot on target is 1.8 cm is obtained. An estimate of the capital cost 14 MeV...
