Fast neutrons for atomic displacement research are produced by both the reactor and the 5.5 MV Pulsed van-de-Graaff accelerator. For research and evaluations requiring fast neutrons fluences with ...

Neutron production for scientific users of the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is expected to ...

Neutrons are very useful to material probes and can be created in reactors or by accelerators. The most intense accelerator-based neutron sources are called spallation sources and use a process that ...

Data from the Central Neutron Detector at the US Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF ...

TAE Life Sciences is developing a next-generation boron neutron capture therapy for cancer. After recently introducing Alphabeam, a compact and affordable accelerator-based neutron system suitable ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

CEBAF is a particle accelerator and DOE Office of Science ... Some are made up of equal amounts of protons and neutrons, while other nuclei exhibit large disparities between the two types.

(Photos: L. Sklenka/CTU) Neutron imaging is a non-invasive technique for examining internal structures that is carried out using research reactors or accelerator-based neutron sources. “It is an ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside. The private space company Rocket Lab is on track to launch the first of its new ...

Nuclear binding energies of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei are essential inputs for calculations addressing the origin of heavy elements in the Cosmos. Recently, researchers at the Accelerator ...
