The neutron production rate measurement of an indigenously developed compact D-D neutron generator [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2013
One electrostatic accelerator based compact neutron generator was developed. The deuterium ions generated by the ion source were accelerated by one accelerating gap after the extraction from the ion source and bombarded to a target.

Ultra-thin 3D silicon sensors for neutron detection

, 2012
We present a novel neutron detector based on an ultra-thin 3D silicon sensor with a sensitive volume only 10 µm thick. This ultra-thin active volume allows a high gamma-ray rejection, a key requirement in order to discriminate the signal coming from the ...

Influence of head cover on the neutron dose equivalent in Monte Carlo simulations of high energy medical linear accelerator [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2018
Neutron contamination of radiotherapeutic photon beam occurs when energies higher than 10 MeV are used in radiotherapy. To correctly assess the neutron doses that medical personnel and patients receive, it is highly important to know the ...
