The Neutron Radiography Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has two beamlines extending radially outward from the east and north faces of reactor core. control rod withdrawal procedure recently been altered, potentially changing power distribution thus properties neutron beams, calling for characterization beams. East Station involved experiments used to measure following characteristics...

Background and purpose: Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is a radiotherapy based on compact accelerator neutron sources requiring an epithermal field for tumour irradiations. Neutrons of 10 keV are considered as the maximum optimised energy to treat deep-seated tumours. We investigated, by means Monte Carlo simulations, range from eV in order optimise function depth. Methods: A S...

Abstract. Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) is a non-invasive tool for measuring hydrogen pools such as soil moisture, snow or vegetation. The intrinsic integration over radial hectare-scale footprint clear advantage averaging out small-scale heterogeneity, but on the other hand data may become hard to interpret in complex terrain with patchy land use. This study presents directional shielding ...

Porphyry Cu and epithermal deposits are spatially and temporally related to specific volcanic and plutonic rocks emplaced during the formation of long-lived magmatic arcs formed along convergent plate boundaries (e.g., Sillitoe, 1972; Sutherland Brown, 1976; Titley, 1982; Sawkins, 1990; Bissig et al., 2003). Recognizing the presence, types of deposits, and age of the mineralized volcanoplutonic...

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...

The Proof-of-Principle (POP) prototype of the Rf-Focused Drift tube (RFD) linac structure is currently under test at Linac Systems, after years of delay due to a variety of technical problems. A discussion of these technical problems and their solutions will be presented. The status of these tests will be reported. Plans for future development of this linac structure will be revealed. Potential...
