Neutronics Simulations for DEMO Diagnostics [PDF]
One of the main challenges in the development of a plasma diagnostic and control system for DEMO is the need to cope with unprecedented radiation levels in a tokamak during long operation periods.

Neutron-mirror neutron mixing and neutron stars [PDF]
AbstractThe oscillation of neutron n into mirror neutron $$n'$$ n ′ , its mass degenerate partner from dark mirror sector, can gradually transform the neutron stars into the mixed stars consisting in part of mirror dark matter. In quark stars $$n-n'$$

APPLICATION OF SUPERMC3.2 TO PRELIMINARY NEUTRONICS ANALYSIS FOR EUROPEAN HCPB DEMO [PDF]
In the D-T fueled tokamak, the neutrons not only carry the approximately 80% energy released in the per fusion reaction, but also are the source of radioactivity in the fusion system.

Neutron–Mirror-Neutron Oscillation and Neutron Star Cooling
It was pointed out in a recent paper that the observed cooling rate of old, cold neutron stars (NS) can provide an upper limit on the transition rate of neutron to mirror neutron ($n-n'$). This limit is so stringent that it would preclude any discovery of $n \to n'$ oscillation in the current round of terrestrial searches for the process.
