The thermal neutron irradiation device (FANT), developed at the Neutron Measurements
Laboratory of the Energy Engineering Department at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, is a …

The measurement of the neutron field relative distribution can significantly improve the
accuracy of PGNAA, and can broaden the scope of PGNAA toward large samples. For this …

A new prompt gamma activation analysis facility has been established using the China
Mianyang Research Reactor (CMRR) to enable high-precision measurement and analysis …

The shielding effectiveness against ionizing photons, of elements and compounds, requires
to determine some parameters like the partial interaction coefficients, total attenuation …

Gamma rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are known for their high
concentration of energy; that is, they are classified as a type of ionizing radiation with the …

An external neutron source is necessary to start up and run a subcritical thermal nuclear
reactor. The external neutron source can be a neutron generator, a radionuclide having …

Despite compelling evidence for the existence of dark matter from its gravitational influence
on ordinary matter, it has so far evaded direct detection. Over the past decades, low …

To start and run, a Subcritical nuclear reactor is necessary to insert neutrons from a neutron
generator, spontaneous fission or isotopic neutrons sources. To shut down the reactor the …
