Fast and Furious: Fast Neutron Therapy in Cancer Treatment. [PDF]
Int J Part Ther, 2022 Fast neutron therapy has been used for decades. In conjunction with recent advances in photonic techniques, fast neutrons are no longer of much oncologic interest, which is not unequivocally positive, given their undoubted therapeutic value.

Highly Concentrated, Zwitterionic Ligand-Capped Mn2+:CsPb(Br x Cl1-x )3 Nanocrystals as Bright Scintillators for Fast Neutron Imaging. [PDF]
ACS Energy Lett, 2021 Fast neutron imaging is a nondestructive technique for large-scale objects such as nuclear fuel rods. However, present detectors are based on conventional phosphors (typically microcrystalline ZnS:Cu) that have intrinsic drawbacks, including light ...

Clinical Radiobiology of Fast Neutron Therapy: What Was Learnt? [PDF]
Front Oncol, 2020 Neutron therapy was developed from neutron radiobiology experiments, and had identified a higher cell kill per unit dose and an accompanying reduction in oxygen dependency. But experts such as Hal Gray were sceptical about clinical applications, for good

An assessment of the association between a fast radio burst and binary neutron star merger [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2022 Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright millisecond-duration radio bursts at cosmological distances. While young magnetars are the leading source candidate, recent observations suggest that there may be multiple FRB progenitor classes.

Development of a Fast-Spectrum Self-Powered Neutron Detector for Molten Salt Experiments in the Versatile Test Reactor [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 The self-powered neutron detector (SPND) is a widely used flux monitor in thermal nuclear reactors. Although this is a mature technology, the current state of the art is tuned for a thermal neutron spectrum, so many of the devices currently in use lack ...

Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversions in Neutron-Star Postmerger Accretion Disks. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 A compact accretion disk may be formed in the merger of two neutron stars or of a neutron star and a stellar-mass black hole. Outflows from such accretion disks have been identified as a major site of rapid neutron-capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis and
