Neutrino transport and neutrino-matter interactions are known to play an important role in the evolution of neutron star mergers, their post-merger remnants. Neutrinos cool remnants, drive winds, deposit energy low-density polar regions where relativistic jets may eventually form. also modify composition ejected material, impacting outcome nucleosynthesis merger outflows properties optical/infr...

This paper reports the development of TOUCANS, a new Monte Carlo neutron transport code fully written using GEANT4 toolkit. It aims at modeling complex systems easily and rapidly, thanks to simple key–value input file. While its main focus is low energy neutrons – below 20 MeV evaluated cross-section libraries, it also takes advantage state-of-the-art capabilities offered by regarding modeled c...

background: boron neutron capture therapy (bnct) is a very promising treatment for patients suffering gliobastoma multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer, where conventional radiation therapies fail. thermal neutrons are suitable for the direct treatment of cancers which are located at near-tissue-surface deep-seated tumors need harder, epithermal neutron energy spectra. materials and me...

We have measured the asymmetry ALT ′ of the H(e, e‘p)n reaction in quasielastic kinematics at a beam energy of 2.56 GeV over a 4-momentum transfer range Q = 0.2 − 2.0(GeV/c) with the CLAS detector at Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory. We have performed a Monte Carlo simulation of the reaction in order to test the analysis code used to extract ALT ′ associated with the fifth structure functio...
