Neutron transmission probability through a revolving slit for a continuous source and a divergent neutron beam

Here an analytical calculation for the transmission probability of neutrons travelling through a revolving slit is being presented. For the first time, two effects have been taken into account in the same approach, that is on the one hand the fact that the neutron beam might be divergent and, on the other hand, that neutrons from a continuous source can arrive at different times at the chopper....

Beam Instrumentation for the Spallation Neutron Source Ring

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) will be constructed by a multi-laboratory collaboration with BNL responsible for the transfer lines and ring. [1] The 1 MW beam power necessitates careful monitoring to minimize un-controlled loss. This high beam power will influence the design of the monitors in the high energy beam transport line (HEBT) from linac to ring, in the ring, and in the ring-totar...

Designing an Am-Be miniature neutron source

Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...

Fir 1 Epithermal Neutron Beam Model and Dose Calculation for Treatment Planning in Neutron Capture Therapy

The epithermal neutron beam model of the Finnish boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) facility (FiR 1) was created using the two-dimensional (2D) discrete ordinates transport (DORT) code. The final design of the beam was achieved using the DORT model: the optimal thickness of the neutron moderator and the length and the thickness of the bismuth collimator of the beam were calculated. The final ...
