Recent activities in neutron standardization at NMIJ/AIST
This report described recent activities on neutron standardization at the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) in the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The present status of our accelerator-based neutron field is described mainly on the development of monoenergetic neutron fluence standards [1-3]. Collaboration is in progress with the Japan Atomic ...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesis at NMIJ/AIST
AC-waveform synthesis with quantum-mechanical accuracy has been attracting many researchers, especially metrologists in national metrology institutes, not only for its scientific interest but its potential benefit to industries. We describe the current status at National Metrology Institute of Japan of development of a Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer based on programmable and pulse-dri...
متن کاملA graphite-moderated pulsed spallation ultra-cold neutron source
Proposals exist and efforts are under way to construct pulsed spallation ultra-cold neutron (UCN) sources at accelerator laboratories around the world. At the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland, and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), U.S.A., it is planned to use solid deuterium (SD2) for the UCN production from cold neutrons. The philosophies about how the cold neutrons are ob...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Study on the Effect of Various Neutron Capturers on Dose Distribution in Brachytherapy with 252Cf Source
Background: In neutron interaction with matter and reduction of neutron energy due to multiple scatterings to the thermal energy range, increasing the probability of thermal neutron capture by neutron captures makes dose enhancement in the tumors loaded with these materials. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate dose distribution in the presence of 10B, 157Gd and 33S neutron...
متن کاملA 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...
