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...
متن کاملA Femtosecond Neutron Source
The possibility to use the ultrashort ion bunches produced by circularly polarized laser pulses to drive a source of fusion neutrons with sub-optical cycle duration is discussed. A two-side irradiation of a deuterated thin foil target produces two countermoving ion bunches, whose collision produces an ultrashort neutron burst. Using particle-in-cell simulations and analytical modeling, it is ev...
متن کاملDetermination of the flux of a neutron radioisotope source through gold activation method
Introduction: In recent years, the use of neutrons has increased in various fields such as medicine and industry. One of the important applications of neutrons is in medical research. Neutrons have greater linear energy transfer than gamma rays and are considered more dangerous radiation. Hence, the detection and determination of neutron dose is a very important and vital issu...
متن کاملNeutron spectroscopy of plutonium oxide using matrix unfolding approach
The knowledge of a neutron energy spectrum is extremely valuable in nuclear non-proliferation and safeguards applications. Unfortunately, conventional gas and fission-type detectors are not adapted to determine incident neutron energy. As a result, a matrix inversion technique was implemented to generate desirable and consistent neutron energy spectra from an EJ-309 liquid scintillator. To over...
متن کاملNeutron energy spectrum characterization on TMR-1 at the Indiana University neutron source
The energy spectrum of the Neutron Radiation Effects Program (NREP) beam line, Target-ModeratorReflector-1 (TMR-1), at Indiana University has not been previously characterized. The facility has a unique proton source with variable pulse length (15-600 s) and energy (13 MeV). Thus, it can produce a unique and tailored neutron beam when incident on a beryllium target. Through a combination of MCN...
