Tutorial on Neutron Physics in Dosimetry
Almost since the time of the discovery of the neutron more than 70 years ago, efforts have been made to understand the effects of neutron radiation on tissue and, eventually, to use neutrons for cancer treatment. In contrast to charged particle or photon

Input Comparison of Radiogenic Neutron Estimates for Ultra-low Background Experiments
Ultra-low-background experiments address some of the most important open questions in particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics: the nature of dark matter, whether the neutrino is its own antiparticle, and does the proton decay.

Statistical properties of $^{243}$Pu, and $^{242}$Pu(n,$\gamma$) cross section calculation
The level density and gamma-ray strength function (gammaSF) of 243Pu have been measured in the quasi-continuum using the Oslo method. Excited states in 243Pu were populated using the 242Pu(d,p) reaction.

Investigation of isomeric ratios in (γ, n) reactions on rubidium isotopes in giant dipole resonance energy region [PDF]
Dependence on gamma-quanta energy of isomeric yield ratios obtained in 85Rb(γ, n)84m,gRb and 87Rb(γ, n)86m,gRb reactions within 10 - 18 MeV energy range have been studied. Thresholds of isomeric states excitations and energies of activation levels have

Constant temperature description of the nuclear level densities
The spin and parity dependent nuclear level densities (NLD) are calculated for medium-heavy nuclei using shell model techniques. The NLD are used to calculate cross sections and reaction rates of interest for nuclear astrophysics and nuclear energy ...
