Neutron sources employed in different applications in both medicine and industry. Due to the harmful effects of neutron particles on living organisms, radiation shields have played a vital role in radiation protection against neutrons. In recent decade, numerous investigations conducted on the design and fabrication of nanocomposites as more efficient shielding materials against fast and therma...

background: a boron neutron capture therapy (bnct) facility, based on a dt neutron generator, with the final goal to find out a potential, alternative, solution to existing bnct treatment facilities which are based on nuclear reactors is examined. materials and methods: with the aim of the mcnp4b monte carlo code different beam-shaping assembly (bsa) configurations were considered. lead was sel...

in this research, cobalt and nickel sulfide nanoparticles (nps) were grown on almcm-41 matrix by using ion exchange method. the prepared samples were irradiated by thermalized neutron that emitted from am-be source up to fluencies (7.9+e9n/cm2). after that, x-ray diffraction (xrd), uv-vis spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared (ftir), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission electr...

We have calculated the evolution of 60 model binary systems consisting of helium stars in the mass range of MHe = 2.5 − 6M⊙ with a 1.4 M⊙ neutron star companion to investigate the formation of double neutron star systems. Orbital periods ranging from 0.09 to 2 days are considered, corresponding to Roche lobe overflow starting from the helium main sequence to after the ignition of carbon burning...

The neutron rich $$^{123}$$ Ag nucleus was populated via induced photofission of UC $$_x$$ at the ALTO ISOL facility. Its $$\beta $$ -decay properties were studied by means detecting -delayed $$\gamma and activities. measured half-life T $$_{1/2}$$ = 0.350(20) s agreed with earlier data; emission branching P $$_{1n}$$ 1.01(24)% reestablished using counting.

The $\beta$ decay of the neutron-rich $^{134}$In and $^{135}$In was investigated experimentally in order to provide new insights into nuclear structure tin isotopes with magic proton number $Z=50$ above $N=82$ shell. $\beta$-delayed $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy measurement performed at ISOLDE facility CERN, where indium were selectively laser-ionized on-line mass separated. Three $\beta$-decay bra...
