Epithermal neutron activation dosimetry–(n, γ) reactions under boron-based filters [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Neutron activation dosimetry is the primary method for the determination of the neutron flux or fluence, and in general, it is sensitive to the thermal and resonance energy ranges (radiative capture reactions– $$(n,\gamma )$$ ( n , γ ) reactions) and the

Nuclear quantum dynamics of boric acid as probed by a thermal-to-epithermal neutron station [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Boric acid ( $$\hbox {H}_3$$ $$\hbox {BO}_3$$ , BA), due to its neutron absorption and scattering properties, is used in nuclear medicine and nuclear engineering either as an absorber of thermal neutrons or a moderator of epithermal ones.

Towards disentangling heterogeneous soil moisture patterns in cosmic-ray neutron sensor footprints [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021
Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) allows for non-invasive soil moisture estimations at the field scale. The derivation of soil moisture generally relies on secondary cosmic-ray neutrons in the epithermal to fast energy ranges.

Determination of Neutron Flux in Brain Cancer Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Using Monte Carlo Simulation

Physics Communication, 2022
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a relatively safer technology for killing cancer cells, one of which is the Glioblastoma multiforme. One of the main components of the BNCT equipment is the collimator which functions as an exit point for ...

Cosmic-ray neutron transport at a forest field site: the sensitivity to various environmental conditions with focus on biomass and canopy interception [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017
Cosmic-ray neutron intensity is inversely correlated to all hydrogen present in the upper decimeters of the subsurface and the first few hectometers of the atmosphere above the ground surface.

Design development of double-layer beam shaping assembly using extension nozzle to increase the quality of epithermal neutron beam as a boron neutron capture therapy neutron source

Ядерна фізика та енергетика, 2021
Double layer beam shaping assembly (DLBSA) is a system that moderates fast neutrons into epithermal neutrons. The epithermal neutrons that leave the aperture in the DLBSA system are broadened in the space, thereby reducing the intensity and homogeneity ...
