The final burst of gravitational radiation emitted by coalescing binary neutron stars carries direct information about the neutron star fluid, and, in particular, about the equation of state of nuclear matter at extreme densities. The final merger may also be accompanied by a detectable electromagnetic signal, such as a gamma-ray burst. In this paper, we summarize the results of theoretical wor...

Abstract The historical detection of gravitational waves emitted from the collision two neutron stars (GW170817) has opened new era multi-messenger astronomy. Since then, many other significant discoveries—both on heaven and earth—are providing clues into behavior neutron-rich matter. It is goal this article to illustrate how remarkable progress made during last few years spearheading field gol...

A unique, new stand-alone acoustic inertial confinement nuclear fusion test device was successfully tested. Experiments using four different liquid types were conducted in which bubbles were self-nucleated without the use of external neutrons. Four independent detection systems were used (i.e., a neutron track plastic detector to provide unambiguous visible records for fast neutrons, a detector...

A program code to simulate neutron interactions with a CR-39 detector and calculate parameters describing the induced etched proton tracks in the CR-39 material was previously developed(( 1)). This code was used to understand the mechanisms involved during interactions with neutrons in the CR-39 material and the influence of the etching process, enabling an improvement in the efficiency of the ...

The chlorine concentration in Superpozz (SPZ) cement concrete was analyzed using a newly designed prompt gamma-ray neutron activation (PGNAA) setup utilizing a portable neutron generator. The setup, which mainly consists of a neutron source along with its moderator placed side by side with a shielded gamma-ray detector, allows determining chloride concentration in a concrete structure from one ...

Neutrons are primarily produced at large international facilities using either spallation reactions or nuclear fission. There is a demand for small scale neutron production for use at hospitals and borders for a variety of applications. Isolated fission sources and sealed tube deuterium-tritium fusors are able to provide a reliable neutron flux at small scale but are impractical due to the asso...

Recent efforts have been made to improve the prompt fission neutron spectrum and nu-bar measurements for Uranium and Plutonium isotopes particularly in the keV region. A system has been designed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) utilizing an array of EJ-301 liquid scintillators as well as lithium glass and plastic scintillators to experimentally determine these values. An array of BaF2 ...

in the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. we have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. according to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.

The detection of neutron-antineutron oscillation will be a discovery fundamental importance in particle physics and cosmology. In models discussed widely literature, the process is generated through heavy new with weak, perturbative coupling at scale experiment. Acknowledging fact that nature has been quite evasive regarding strength physics, we discuss mechanism, by confining $\ensuremath{\sim...
