Neutron Imaging at Spallation Neutron Sources
Neutron imaging is a powerful method for non-destructive investigations where the high penetration through metals and the high contrast for hydrogenous materials is exploited in particular. The complementary to X-ray studies is a clever alternative in many cases of scientific and industrial applications. Reactor based neutron sources are becoming less available, caused by the shutdown of aged f...
متن کاملModeling of Water Radiolysis at Spallation Neutron Sources
In spallation neutron sources neutrons are produced when a beam of high-energy particles (e.g., I GeV protons) collides with a (watercooled) heavy metal target such as tungsten. The resulting spallation reactions produce a complex radiation environment (which differs from typical conditions at fission and fusion reactors) leading to the radiolysis of water molecules. Most water radiolysis produ...
متن کاملNovel 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...
متن کاملPrinciples for Timing at Spallation Neutron Sources Based on Developments at Lansce
Due to AC-power-grid frequency fluctuations, the designers for accelerator-based spallation-neutron facilities have worked to optimize the conflicting demands of accelerator and neutron chopper performance. For the first time, we are able to quantitatively access the tradeoffs between these two constraints and design or upgrade a facility to optimize total system performance using powerful new ...
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...
