Abstract:
The long and short gamma-ray bursts are believed to be produced due to collapse of massive stars and merger of compact binaries respectively. All these objects are rich in neutron and the jet outflow from these objects must have a neutron component in it. By postulating the [Formula: see text] oscillation in the gamma-ray burst fireball, we show that, 19–38 GeV neutrinos and anti-neutrinos can be produced due to annihilation of anti-neutrons with the background neutrons. These neutrinos and anti-neutrinos will be produced before the 5–10 GeV neutrinos due to dynamical decoupling of neutrons fr

The proposal of two neutron scattering systems for calibration of two-phase cryogenic avalanche detectors with high sensitivity being developed at Budker INP is presented. This kind of detectors is designed for the search of dark matter and low energy neutrino detection, in particular, coherent neutrino scattering on nuclei. Detector calibration is made with a measurement of ionization yield and scintillation quenching factor for low energy recoiling nuclei (in 0.5 to 100 keV range) originating from elastic scattering of neutrons.

Abstract Young neutron stars cool via the emission of neutrinos from their core. A precise understanding of all the different processes producing neutrinos in the hot and degenerate matter is essential for assessing the cooling rate of such stars. The main Standard Model processes contributing to this effect are ν bremsstrahlung, mURCA among others. In this paper, we investigate another Standard Model process initiated by the Wess-Zumino-Witten term, leading to the emission of neutrino pairs via Nγ → Nνν̅. We find that for proto-neutron stars, such processes with degenerate neutrons can be com

Abstract The Super-Kamiokande-Gd (SK-Gd) experiment has started after adding the gadolinium (Gd) into ultra-pure water in the SK detector. SK-Gd dramatically improves the sensitivity to supernova relic neutrino searches by tagging neutrons. Cosmic-ray muons penetrating into the SK detector induce hadronic showers. Such muon often break oxygen nuclei in water and produce unstable radioactive isotopes and neutrons, which are major background sources for supernova relic neutrino searches. On the other hand, the cosmogenic neutrons produced by muons can be used for the detector calibration source.

The coincidence of the neutron energy from SbBe and the low interaction cross-section with iron (mean free path up to 29 cm) makes pure iron specially suited to shield against gamma rays from 124Sb decays while letting through the neutrons. To increase the 124Sb activity and thus the neutron flux, a >1 GBq 124Sb source was produced by irradiating a natural Sb metal pellet with a high flux of thermal neutrons in a nuclear reactor. The

This thesis addresses the application of fusion as a powerful source of energetic neutrons. The conditions for maximising fusion power density, Pf, in a neutral beam fuelled plasma are determined and used to inform a high Pf device optimisation procedure. Restrictions on the externally applied power, not previously considered, are shown to be a crucial factor in determining the optimum plasma and reactor conditions. Two distinct regimes of operation exist, separated by a discontinuity in the optimum conditions. In one regime, beam-on-target reactions dominate and Pf is maximised when operating

Abstract:
The new concept Molten Salt Reactor is the only liquid-fuel reactor of the six Generation IV advanced nuclear energy systems. The liquid molten salt serves as the fuel and coolant simultaneously and causes one important feature: the delayed neutrons precursors are drifted by the fuel flow, which leads the spread of delayed neutrons distribution to non-core parts of the primary circuit, and it also can result in a reactivity variation depending on the flow condition of the fuel salt. Therefore, the neutronic and thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the Molten Salt Reactor is quite different fro

Abstract:
Neutron radiography is an important tool for the imaging of dense, metallic objects for a wide range of applications. Many systems currently in operation either require large-scale user facilities to produce neutrons [1, 2] or low-efficiency thin-film converters to detect neutrons [3]. These drawbacks lead to neutron radiography seeing limited use in the field. To compensate for these drawbacks, a system has been developed using a scatter-based plastic scintillator, a scalable readout module, and a D-T neutron generator. This system has been developed for use as a field-deployable neutron radi

Abstract:
This consultant was asked to look into the possibility of so-called “scission neutrons”, that is neutrons emitted in the fission process before full acceleration of the two large fragments. Results of new measurements that measure neutron emission relative to the direction of the fragments are available, and the quantification of scission neutron has been derived from these data. More detailed models of the fission process are also new. It is however the conclusion of this consultant that the existence of scission neutrons has not been proven from experimental data. Further, the possibility of

Abstract:
The properties of “scission” neutrons from thermal-neutron induced fission of 239Pu(nth,f) and spontaneous fission of 252Cf(sf) were obtained by comparing experimental angular and energy distributions of the prompt fission neutrons measured recently at PNPI with model distributions calculated under the assumption that all prompt fission neutrons are emitted from fully accelerated fragments.

The energy spectra of delayed neutrons from neutron-induced fission of 235U are estimated in the 8-group model using the Kalman filtering method. The spectra are available for viewing and downloading on the IAEA Reference database for beta-delayed neutrons.

The properties of “scission” neutrons from thermal neutron induced fission of 233U and 235U were obtained by comparing experimental angular and energy distributions of the prompt fission neutrons measured recently at PNPI with model distributions calculated under the assumption that all prompt fission neutrons are emitted from fully accelerated fragments. To obtain model distributions, it is assumed to use the spectra of prompt fission neutrons measured at small angles relative to the preferential direction of movement of light and heavy fragments because it is expected that just for these ang
