Thermal neutron standards

Metrologia, 2011
Over the 50-year history of Section III (Neutron Measurements) of the Consultative Committee for Ionizing Radiation of the International Committee for Weights and Measures, only a single interlaboratory comparison of thermal neutron measurements has been completed, although a new comparison of this kind is in progress at the time of this writing.

Shielding for thermal neutrons

Medical Physics, 1997
The problem of calculating the neutron capture γ‐ray dose rate due to thermal neutron capture in a boron or cadmium rectangular shield is considered. An example is given for shielding for a door at the exit of medical accelerator room maze in order to determine the optimum location of lead relative to the borated polyethylene.

Thermalization of Neutrons

1964
Our first discussion of thermal neutron fields in Sec. 5.3 was based on the idealizing assumption that the neutrons were in a true state of thermal equilibrium and thus had a Maxwellian energy distribution with the temperature of the medium. For reasons already mentioned there, the assumption of such an equilibrium state cannot be rigorously true.

Thermal neutron polarisation

Pramana, 1984
The basic principle for the production of polarised thermal neutrons is discussed and the choice of various crystal monochromators surveyed. Brief mention of broad-spectrum polarisers is made. The application of polarised neutrons to the study of magnetisation density distributions in magnetic crystals, the dynamic concept of polarisation, principle ...

Terrestrial thermal neutrons

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2003
The first NIST-traceable measurements of environmental thermal neutrons have been completed. The average sea level flux of thermal neutrons is 4 cm/sup 2//hr. This flux changes less than two times over wide varieties of terrain, in all weather conditions and over the solar year. The neutron flux is normalized to 39N-76.5W.

Thermal neutron detection

2006
This chapter concerns the detection of neutrons having thermal and epithermal energies in the range 0.0002–10 eV (20–0.1 A). Topics covered include neutron capture, neutron detection processes and electronic aspects of neutron detection. Typical detection systems and their characteristics are described.

Thermal neutron capture in silicon

Physical Review C, 1990
The prompt gamma-rays from thermal nuteron capture in {sup 28,29,30}Si have been studied and the radiative capture cross sections determined as 207{plus minus}4, 120{plus minus}3 and 107{plus minus}2 mb, respectively. There has been a marked increase in the number of transitions observed in {sup 29}Si and a complete decay scheme for this nucleus is ...

Thermal Neutron Holography

2009
X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques have for almost a century produced results that provide important insights into materials of interest to a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines. However, traditional diffraction techniques have their limits, and these limits are best exemplified by the fact that certain important materials (e.g.
