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.

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.

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 ...

A rapid modeling method and accuracy criteria for common-cause failures in Risk Monitor PSA model
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2021 In the development of a Risk Monitor probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) model from the basic PSA model of a nuclear power plant, the modeling of common-cause failure (CCF) is very important.

ADAPTIVE SOLUTION OF THE NEUTRON DIFFUSION EQUATION WITH HETEROGENEOUS COEFFICIENTS USING THE MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD ON STRUCTURED MESHES [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 The neutron transport equation can be used to model the physics of the nuclear reactor core. Its solution depends on several variables and requires a lot of high precision computations.

Neutron lifetime puzzle and neutron–mirror neutron oscillation [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2019 The discrepancy between the neutron lifetimes measured in the beam and trap experiments can be explained via the neutron $n$ conversion into mirror neutron $n'$, its dark partner from parallel mirror sector, provided that $n$ and $n'$ have a tiny mass splitting order $10^{-7}$ eV.
