Neutron Stars—Thermal Emitters [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2014 Confronting theoretical models with observations of thermal radiation emitted by neutron stars is one of the most important ways to understand the properties of both, superdense matter in the interiors of the neutron stars and dense magnetized plasmas in their outer layers.

Thermal conductivity of neutrons in neutron star cores [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 The diffusive thermal conductivity of neutrons in dense matter [$ \sim (1 - 8) \times 10^{14}$ g cm$^{-3}$] of neutron star cores is calculated. The contribution from neutron--neutron and neutron--proton collisions is taken into account. We use the transition probabilities calculated for symmetric dense nucleon matter on the basis of the Dirac ...

Tolerance Flux of Thermal Neutrons [PDF]
Nature, 1949 THE danger of neutrons on the human body arises from two factors : the slowing down of fast neutrons and the absorption of neutrons. In the case of thermal neutrons, only absorption can take place, either in hydrogen to form a deuteron with emission of a 2.2-MeV. γ-ray, or by nitrogen-14 to form a carbon, with the emission of a 0.7-MeV. proton.

Thermally Driven Neutron Star Glitches [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 We examine the thermal and dynamical response of a neutron star to a sudden perturbation of the inner crust temperature. During the star's evolution, starquakes and other processes may deposit $\gap 10^{42}$ ergs, causing significant internal heating and increased frictional coupling between the crust and the more rapidly rotating neutron superfluid ...

Compact thermal neutron sensors for moderator-based neutron spectrometers
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2013 In the framework of the NESCOFI@BTF project of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics, different types of active thermal neutron sensors were studied by coupling semiconductor devices with a suitable radiator. The objective was to develop a detector of small dimensions with a proper sensitivity to use at different positions in a novel moderating ...

A new active thermal neutron detector
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2013 This communication presents the main results about the design and in-house fabrication of a new solid-state neutron detector, which produces a DC output signal proportional to the thermal neutron fluence rate. The detector has been developed within the framework of the 3-y project NESCOFI@BTF of INFN (CSN V).

Scattered neutron background in thermal neutron detectors
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2018 Inelastic neutron scattering instruments require very low background; therefore the proper shielding for suppressing the scattered neutron background, both from elastic and inelastic scattering is essential. The detailed understanding of the background scattering sources is required for effective suppression.
