Neutron Capture Gamma Rays ( Thermal Neutron
Detection of landmines using nuclear techniques has been studied extensively since the late 1940s. Nuclear techniques look at either a return radiation, which is characteristic of explosive components that are infrequently found in soil (e.g., nitrogen or carbon), or an intensity change of a noncharacteristic scattered radiation, which is a function of a parameter that differs between soil and ...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
متن کاملDetermining neutron-capture cross sections via the surrogate reaction technique
Indirect methods play an important role in the determination of nuclear reaction cross sections that are hard to measure directly. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using the so-called surrogate method to extract neutron-capture cross sections for low energy compound-nuclear reactions in spherical and near-spherical nuclei. We present the surrogate method and develop a statistical...
متن کاملExperimental comparison of thermal neutron absorption cross section in nano and micro particles
The neutron collision cross-section is important in neutron use for a specific job, such as neutron therapy or even in nuclear reactors. In calculating computational codes such as MCNP, only information from the neutron-to-mass collision information contained in the computational code library is used, in the case of nanoscale particles in contrast to the mass of materials and / or particulate m...
متن کاملCross section of the reaction
Using 3.07 pb of data collected in the energy range 0.60–0.97 GeV by CMD-2, about 150 events of the process ee → ππππ have been selected. The energy dependence of the cross section agrees with the assumption of the a1(1260)π intermediate state which is dominant above 1 GeV. For the first time ππππ events are observed at the ρ meson energy. Under the assumption that all these events come from th...
