Abstract:

Copper has high electrical and thermal conductivity, which is frequently employed in structural and functional materials. In this research, powder metallurgy was used to incorporate boron nanosheets into metal matrix composites to create boron dispersion-enhanced copper matrix composites. The neutron-absorption characteristics of composite materials were investigated, as well as the link between neutron-absorption cross-section and neutron energy. The results told us that the morphology of the second phase on the particle surface is closely related to the size of Cu-B particles, copper and bor

Abstract:

<p class="1Body">It is possible to build Helium-4 from Hydrogen-1 by adding only neutrons. The key step is that Tritium decays to Helium-3; thus, a particle that entered the nucleus as a neutron becomes a proton. The need to overcome the mutual repulsion of positively charged nuclei is thus avoided. Given a cheap enough neutron source, this method promises fusion without Sun-like conditions.</p>

The impact of strong neutron absorption on data analysis and the comparison of two different absorption corrections for neutron diffraction data implemented in the GSAS Rietveld code are the foci of this work. We investigated the effect of absorption on the texture and the thermal motion parameter for rolled elemental foils. The orientation distribution functions (ODF) of rolled foils of dysprosium and erbium metals were determined from neutron time-of-flight data patterns collected on HIPPO at LANSCE.

Long wavelength neutrons have optical properties analogous to those of photons, and may be focused to produce significantly higher fluxes using the principle of multiple mirror reflection from smooth surfaces at small grazing incident angles. Narrowly focused beams of cold neutrons (with wavelengths greater than 0.4 nm) allow greater spatial resolution for analytical applications than previously available, and will improve the detection limits of neutron absorption measurements (which are dependent on the neutron capture reaction rate) for quantitative analysis.

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful tool used for studies of surfaces and interfaces. The absorption in the typical studied materials is neglected and this technique is limited only to the reflectivity measurement. For strongly absorbing nuclei, the absorption can be directly measured by using the neutron-induced fluorescence technique which exploits the prompt particle emission of absorbing isotopes. This technique is emerging from soft matter and biology where highly absorbing nuclei, in very small quantities, are used as a label for buried layers. Nowadays, the importance of absorbing layer

Some diffraction experiments on small samples by means of thermal neutron capillary optics are summarized. Such developments (together with absorption techniques) could have possible interest for residual stress analysis, below the mm scale.

Abstract:

Neutron diffraction methods for texture analysis are closely parallel to well-known X-ray diffraction techniques. The chief advantage of neutron diffraction over X-ray diffraction, however, arises from the fact that the interaction of neutrons with matter is relatively weak, and consequently the penetration depth of neutrons is 102–103 times larger than that of X-rays. Hence neutron diffraction is an efficient tool for measuring textures in multi-phase systems. Based on the high transmission of a neutron beam the effect of anisotropic absorption in multi-phase materials can be neglected in mos

Abstract:

Neutron imaging based on a compact Talbot–Lau interferometer was demonstrated using the RIKEN accelerator-driven compact neutron source (RANS). A compact Talbot–Lau interferometer consisting of gadolinium absorption gratings and a silicon phase grating was constructed and connected to the RANS. Because of pulsed thermal neutrons from the RANS and a position-sensitive detector equipped with time-of-flight (TOF) analysis, moiré interference patterns generated using the interferometer were extracted at a TOF range around the design wavelength (2.37 Å) optimal for the interferometer.

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the effects produced by the use of lead isotope 208Pb instead of natural lead as a coolant and neutron reflector on neutron-physical parameters of fast reactor. A possibility is demonstrated to reach substantial (up to three orders of magnitude) elongation of mean prompt neutron lifetime in the fast reactor with physically thick 208Pb-reflector. So large elongation of prompt neutron lifetime opens an opportunity for remarkable enhancement of the reactor safety under conditions of reactivity-induced accidents. Numerical analyses have shown that it became possible to form high

Abstract:

Biological shielding of nuclear reactors is an important interest and diminishing the intricacy and cost of these installations is an important interest. In this paper, we used galena minerals and barite for the production of a hybrid fiber heavyweight aggregate concrete. Galena minerals that exist in many parts of Iran were used in the concrete mix design. Barite is an important chemical element for neutron absorption processes. The cross-section in matter and neutron capture is a utilizable cause to explain the neutron shielding characteristics of samples. Neutron cross-section measurements

Abstract:

The kinetics of nuclear reactors is determined by the average neutron lifetime. When the inserted reactivity is more than the effective delayed neutron fraction, the reactor kinetics becomes very rapid. It is possible to slow down the fast reactor kinetics by increasing the neutron lifetime. The authors consider the possibility of using the lead isotope, <sup>208</sup>Pb, as a neutron reflector with specific properties in a lead-cooled fast reactor. To analyze the emerging effects in a reactor of this type, a point kinetics model was selected, which takes into account neutrons returning from t

Abstract:

The High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project develops a high current accelerator driven neutron source (HiCANS), aiming to substitute existing neutron research reactors, that reach the end of life. This study focuses on the thermal neutron moderator design for a low frequency, long pulse target station of HBS. We investigate the neutronic characteristics of the D2O+H2O mixture moderator material using the Monte Carlo particle transport code PHITS. Our findings show that, compared to D2O with lower neutron absorption, confinement of H2O is the dominant factor in achieving a high neutron flu

Abstract:

Abstract The remnant black hole–accretion disk system resulting from binary neutron star mergers has proven to be a promising site for synthesizing the heaviest elements via rapid neutron capture (r-process). A critical factor in determining the full r-process pattern in these environments is the neutron richness of the ejecta, which is strongly influenced by neutrino interactions. One key ingredient shaping these interactions is fast neutrino flavor conversions (FFCs), which arise due to angular crossings in neutrino distributions and occur on nanosecond timescales. We present the first three

Abstract:

Cold-neutron focusing is a challenge with regard to improving the flux at the sample, decreasing measurement time and/or gaining statistical reliability. Several techniques are used for neutron focusing, such as simple or multi-beam collimation, refractive or magnetic lenses, and focusing mirrors. In this work, a new device for focusing neutrons using a combination of a parabolic supermirror, an asymmetric slit system and an elliptical supermirror is presented. The aim of this focusing system is to improve the neutron flux at the sample compared to other techniques without either achromatism o

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Black hole (BH) accretion discs formed in compact-object mergers or collapsars may be major sites of the rapid-neutron-capture (r-)process, but the conditions determining the electron fraction (Ye) remain uncertain given the complexity of neutrino transfer and angular-momentum transport. After discussing relevant weak-interaction regimes, we study the role of neutrino absorption for shaping Ye using an extensive set of simulations performed with two-moment neutrino transport and again without neutrino absorption. We vary the torus mass, BH mass and spin, and examine the impact of rest

Abstract:

A recent advancement in a new high transparency monitor device based on Micro Channel Plate (MCP) has been proposed for monitoring flux and beam spatial profiles of neutrons. It consisted of the assembly of a very thin aluminum (Al) foil with a 6Li deposit placed along the beam and a MCP equipped with a phosphor screen readout viewed by a CCD camera outside the beam line. The peculiar feature of this device is that it uses an electrostatic mirror to minimize the perturbation of the neutron beam, i.e. absorption and scattering. It can be used at existing time-of-flight facilities, in particular

The procedures for the numerical and experimental determination of the neutron flux in the zones with the strong neutron absorption and leakage are described in this paper. Numerical procedure is based on the application of the SCALE-4.4a code system where the Dancoff factors are determined by the VEGA2DAN code. Two main parts of the experimental methodology are measurement of the activity of irradiated foils and determination of the averaged neutron absorption cross-section in the foils by the SCALE-4.4a calculation procedure. The proposed procedures have been applied for the determination of
