Directional detection of fission-spectrum neutrons [PDF]
2007 IEEE Long Island Systems, Applications and Technology Conference, 2007 Conventional neutron detectors consisting of 3 He tubes surrounded by a plastic moderator can be quite efficient in detecting fission spectrum neutrons, but do not indicate the direction of the incident radiation. We have developed a new directional detector based on double proton recoil in two separated planes of plastic scintillators.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

Measurement of the prompt fissionγ-ray spectrum of 242Pu
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018 The prompt γ-ray spectrum of fission fragments is important in understanding the dynamics of the fission process, as well as for nuclear engineering in terms of predicting the γ-ray heating in nuclear reactors.

IMPACT OF VARIOUS SOURCE OF COVARIANCE INFORMATION ON INTEGRAL PARAMETERS UNCERTAINTY DURING DEPLETION CALCULATIONS WITH CASMO-5 [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 This paper describes the effect of input uncertainties on a set of integral parameters (kinf, nuclide compositions) associated with the validation of CASMO-5 against PIE data.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 As the need for precise handling of nuclear data covariances grows ever stronger, no information about covariances of prompt fission neutron spectra (PFNS) are available in the evaluated library JEFF-3.2, although present in ENDF/B-VII.1 and JENDL-4.0 ...

Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles [PDF]
, 1987 The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 TRIPOLI-4® Monte Carlo transport code and FIFRELIN fission model have been coupled by means of external files so that neutron transport can take into account fission distributions (multiplicities and spectra) that are not averaged, as is the case when ...

Nuclear instrumentation in VENUS-F
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018 VENUS-F is a fast zero power reactor with 30 wt% U fuel and Pb/Bi as a coolant simulator. Depending on the experimental configuration, various neutron spectra (fast, epithermal, and thermal islands) are present.
