Comparison of 352 MHz linac structures for injection into an ion therapy accelerator
Journal of Physics: Conference SeriesIn the frame of ongoing initiatives for the design of a new generation of synchrotron-based accelerators for cancer therapy with ion beams, an analysis of linac designs has been started, to address a critical element with a strong impact on the ...

Cross Sections from 800 MeV Proton Irradiation of Terbium
, 2012 A single terbium foil was irradiated with 800 MeV protons to ascertain the potential for production of lanthanide isotopes of interest in medical, astrophysical, and basic science research and to contribute to nuclear data repositories. Isotopes produced

Nuclear systems for space power and propulsion [PDF]
As exploration and utilization of space proceeds through the 1970s, 1980s, and beyond, spacecraft in earth orbit will become increasingly larger, spacecraft will travel deeper into space, and space activities will involve more complex operations.

Habitable Zones in the Universe
, 2005 Habitability varies dramatically with location and time in the universe. This was recognized centuries ago, but it was only in the last few decades that astronomers began to systematize the study of habitability.

A new concept for safeguarding and labeling of long-term stored waste and its place in the scope of existing tagging techniques [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The idea of a novel labeling method is suggested for a new way of long-term security identification, inventory tracking, prevention of falsification and theft of waste casks, copper canisters, spent fuel containers, mercury containers, waste packages and other items.

Linac activation of radioisotopes and underground gammaspectrometric analyses [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 After irradiating various medical linac parts with photon beams, we performed underground gamma-ray spectroscopy (GRS) measurements of the samples only a few minutes after the irradiations, in order to observe activated short-lived radioisotopes. Three samples were used: an Elekta Synergy flattening filter never irradiated before, an old flattening ...

Wolf-Rayet stars and radioisotope production [PDF]
arXiv, 1999 Radioisotopes are natural clocks which can be used to estimate the age of the solar system. They also influence the shape of supernova light curves. In addition, the diffuse emission at 1.8 MeV from the decay of 26Al may provide a measure of the present day nucleosynthetic activity in the Galaxy.

A unique radioisotopic label as a new concept for safeguarding and tagging of long-term stored items and waste [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The present paper discuss a novel method of tagging and labeling of waste casks, copper canisters, spent fuel containers, mercury containers, waste pack- ages and other items. In particular, it is related to the development of new long-term security identification tags/labels that can be applied to articles for carrying information about the content ...
