Atmospheric Neutron Monitoring through Optical Fiber-Based Sensing [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 The potential of fiber-based sensors to monitor the fluence of atmospheric neutrons is evaluated through accelerated tests at the TRIUMF Neutron Facility (TNF) (BC, Canada), offering a flux approximatively 109 higher than the reference spectrum observed ...

Possible atmospheric-like neutron beams at CSNS [PDF]
Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2018 China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) will start commissioning in early 2018. The neutron spectra from the tungsten target bombarding by 1.6 GeV proton beam are very wide, namely white neutron spectra. Two white neutron beams schemed by CSNS are simulated by FLUKA.

Therapeutic potential of atmospheric neutrons [PDF]
Reports of Practical Oncology & Radiotherapy, 2011 Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive type of primary brain tumour in humans. It has a very poor prognosis despite multi-modality treatments consisting of open craniotomy with surgical resection, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Recently, a new treatment has been proposed - Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)

CARBON NEUTRON STAR ATMOSPHERES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2013 The accuracy of measuring the basic parameters of neutron stars is limited in particular by uncertainties in chemical composition of their atmospheres. For example, atmospheres of thermally - emitting neutron stars in supernova remnants might have exotic chemical compositions, and for one of them, the neutron star in CasA, a pure carbon atmosphere has ...

Mechanism and Equivalence of Single Event Effects Induced by 14 MeV Neutrons in High-Speed QDR SRAM
Applied Sciences, 2022 Single-bit upset (SBU) and multiple-cell upset (MCU) features of high-speed QDR-SRAM are revealed under the 14 MeV neutron irradiation. By comparing with the high-altitude real atmosphere test results directly, the equivalence of 14 MeV neutrons for ...

Neutron Star Atmospheres [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2000 Abstract Properties of the thermal radiation emitted by neutron stars (NSs) are determined by thin plasma layers (atmospheres) at their surfaces. The NS atmospheres are very different from those of usual stars due to the immense gravity and huge magnetic fields.

New cosmic ray observations at Syowa Station in the Antarctic for space weather study
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2021 Muon detectors and neutron monitors were recently installed at Syowa Station, in the Antarctic, to observe different types of secondary particles resulting from cosmic ray interactions simultaneously from the same location.
