A Fast-neutron Source for Radiotherapy [PDF]

Nature, 1963
IN a recent note, Lomer and Greene1 have recommended the development of a 14-MeV fast-neutron source for radiotherapy. We feel that there are disadvantages to this approach. The relative biological effectiveness of fast neutrons is related to their linear energy transfer, which in turn varies inversely with the energy of the neutron2,3.

Imaging low-energy positron beams in real-time with unprecedented resolution

Scientific Reports, 2023
Particle beams focused to micrometer-sized spots play a crucial role in forefront research using low-energy positrons. Their expedient and wide application, however, requires highly-resolved, fast beam diagnostics. We have developed two different methods

Octahedral oxide glass network in ambient pressure neodymium titanate

Scientific Reports, 2022
Rare-earth titanates form very fragile liquids that can be made into glasses with useful optical properties. We investigate the atomic structure of 83TiO2-17Nd2O3 glass using pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of X-ray and neutron diffraction with

Conceptual Design of the Moderator Test Station at the Spallation Neutron Source [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
We describe the Moderator Test Station (MTS), under construction at the Spallation Neutron Source. We will leverage the Beam Test Facility (BTF) at the Spallation Neutron Source to provide a moderator neutronics test stand with which we will verify the ...

Real electronic signal data from particle accelerator power systems for machine learning anomaly detection

Data in Brief, 2022
This article describes real time series datasets collected from the high voltage converter modulators (HVCM) of the Spallation Neutron Source facility. HVCMs are used to power the linear accelerator klystrons, which in turn produce the high-power radio ...

Implementing bubbly mercury material model (R-P model) in the pulse simulation to predict strain on the Spallation Neutron Source target vessel with gas injection

Results in Physics, 2023
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) creates neutrons by striking a liquid mercury target with short pulses of high-energy protons. SNS targets have been operated with helium microbubble gas injection into portions of the flowing mercury since 2017.

Overview of CSNS tantalum cladded tungsten solid Target-1 and Target-2

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
A solid tungsten target was used at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) with 100 kW proton beam power. To improve the lifetime, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process was selected to bond tantalum cladding with tungsten plates.
