The ITER Radial Neutron Camera Detection System

Conceptual 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 ...

A Novel Neutron Dosimeter

Background: Neutron contamination in our environment can cause harmful biological effects on human body. Therefore, many efforts have been made to construct a neutron dosimeter to estimate the received dose. Objective: To design a simple neutron dosimeter. Methods: The primary dosimeter had 3He as a spherical thermal neutron detector encircled by paraffin 10 cm in radius. Then, the paraffin sph...

Camera Scans – Using a Digital Camera as a Film Scanner

Individual photographers and institutions are struggling with large film archives that require digitizing. Digital cameras can fill an important gap in the scanning environment, enabling large collections to be scanned on-site with low-cost equipment and easily-trained operators. Digital camera scans can now produce very high-quality images, suitable for nearly any kind of reproduction. This pa...

Neutron-Anti-Neutron Oscillation as a Test of Grand Unification1

We discuss the predictions for the neutron-anti-neutron (N − N) process in various supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric grand unified theories. In particular it is pointed out that in a class of superstring inspired grand unified theories (of E6 type) that satisfy the constraints of gauge coupling unification, breakdown of the B − L symmetry occurs at an intermediate scale leading in turn to ∆...
