Development of Gd-Si-O dispersed 316L stainless steel for improving neutron shielding performance
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2020 The low solubility of gadolinium (Gd) limits its application in iron-based neutron shielding alloys. In this study, a high content of Gd up to 7.87 wt.% was added into 316L stainless steel by mechanical alloying (MA) of Gd2O3 with 316L powder. Neutronics

Measurement and Analysis of Neutron Leakage Spectra from Pb and LBE Cylinders with D-T Neutrons
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 For validating the current evaluated neutron data libraries, neutron leakage spectra from lead and lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) cylinders have been measured using an intense D-T pulsed neutron source with time-of-flight (TOF) method by Institute of ...

Bouncing neutrons and the neutron centrifuge [PDF]
Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2003 The recent observation of the quantum state of the neutron bouncing freely under gravity allows some novel experiments. A method of purifying the ground state is given, and possible applications to the measurement of the electric dipole moment of the neutron and the short distance behaviour of gravity are discussed.

Neutron skins and neutron stars [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2013 The neutron-skin thickness of heavy nuclei provides a fundamental link to the equation of state of neutron-rich matter, and hence to the properties of neutron stars. The Lead Radius Experiment ("PREX") at Jefferson Laboratory has recently provided the first model-independence evidence on the existence of a neutron-rich skin in 208Pb.

Reaction mechanisms in the 6Li+ 52Cr system
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Reactions induced by the weakly bound 6Li projectile interacting with the intermediate mass target 52Cr are investigated. The choice of this particular reaction in our study is because it is proposed as a surrogate reaction [6Li(52Cr, d)56Fe*] for the ...
