The dependence between neutron-to-proton yield ratio (Rnp) and neutron skin thickness (δnp) in neutron-rich projectile induced reactions is investigated within the framework of the Isospin-Dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics (IQMD) model. The density distribution of the Droplet model is embedded in the initialization of the neutron and proton densities in the present IQMD model. By adjusting t...

Neutron time of flight (nTOF) detectors are used routinely to measure the absolute DD neutron yield at OMEGA. To check the DD yield calibration of these detectors, originally calibrated using indium activation systems, which in turn were cross-calibrated to NOVA nTOF detectors in the early 1990s, a direct in situ calibration method using CR-39 range filter proton detectors has been successfully...

introduction:holmium-166 radionuclide is one of the most effective radionuclides used for targeted therapy with theranostic properties. one method to produce this radioisotope is via the decay of its parent (indirect method). in this study applicability of extraction chromatography (exc) for separation of no carrier added 166ho from neutron-irradiated natural dysprosium target followed by quali...

We propose novel neutron source using high-intensity laser based on the cluster fusion scheme. We developed DPSSL-pumped high-repetition-rate 20-TW laser system and solid nanoparticle target for neutron generation demonstration. In our neutron generation experiment, high-energy deuterons were generated from coulomb explosion of CD solidnanoparticles and neutrons were generated by DD fusion reac...

Neutron diffraction has proven to be an indispensable and highly significant tool since its development 60 years ago. The neutron has unique properties that yield distinct information unavailable otherwise. Chief among these properties is the relative uniformity of the neutron scattering power of atoms across the periodic table, allowing the accurate structure determination of materials compose...

CALCULATIONS OF THE GIANT-DIPOLE-RESONANCE PHOTONEUTRONS USING A COUPLED EGS4-MORSE CODE J. C. Liu, W. R. Nelson, K. R. Kase and X. S. Mao Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, P. 0. Box 4349, Stanford, CA 94309 Abstract The production and transport of the photoneutrons from the giant-dipoleresonance reaction have been implemented in a coupled EGS4-MORSE code. The total neutron yield (including b...

The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) is based on Be(p,xn) reactions at proton energy up to 13 MeV. Its novel design employs a cylindrical light water reflector/moderator surrounding the Be target primary neutron source and a solid CH4 cold neutron moderator downstream from the Be target that is coupled to the reflector. The design of the Target/Moderator/Reflector (TMR) assembly was optimized w...

We have simultaneously measured the energy spectra of neutrons and protons emitted in the non-mesonic weak decays of 5 Λ He and 12 Λ C hypernuclei produced via the (π,K) reaction with much higher statistics over those of previous experiments. The neutron-to-proton yield ratios for both hypernuclei at a high energy threshold (60 MeV) were approximately equal to two, which suggests that the ratio...

Measurements of the neutron capture cross-section are performed by measurement of the capture rate of a sample placed in a neutron beam. The capture rate is measured by surrounding the sample with gamma-ray detectors. The capture rate is corrected for background and divided by the rate of neutrons incident on the sample in order to obtain the capture yield. The neutron capture cross-section can...

The deuterium-tritium (D-T) and deuterium-deuterium neutron yield ratio in cryogenic inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments is used to examine multifluid effects, traditionally not included in ICF modeling. This ratio has been measured for ignition-scalable direct-drive cryogenic DT implosions at the Omega Laser Facility [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)OPCOB80030-401810...
