  2. 1. A Fast Pixelated Thermal-Neutron Detector

    Author : Emil Rofors; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SoNDe; thermal-neutron detector; GS20 scintillator; Li-glass; H12700A MAPMT; position-dependent response; alpha-particle; proton; deuteron; neutron; ESS; SKADI;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the study of a position-sensitive scintillation-based detector called the Solid-State Neutron Detector (SoNDe). SoNDe is being developed for cold- and thermal-neutron detection at the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument SKADI at the European Spallation Source (ESS), currently under construction in Lund, Sweden.

  4. 2. Exciting Neutron-rich Nuclei

    Author : Simon Lindberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RIKEN; GSI; Unbound States; FAIR; R3B; Radioactive Beams;

    Abstract : Atoms are the building blocks which make up our world. Their stability depends on the atomic nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons. Nuclei are complex many-body quantum mechanical systems governed by the nucleon-nucleon interaction. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fast neutron dosimetry : a study of basic dosimetric properties of fast-neutrons for external beam radiotherapy and problems associated with corrections of measured charged particle cross-sections

    Author : Jonas Söderberg; Lennart Lindborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Basic dosimetric properties of fast-neutron beams with energies ≤80 MeV were explored using Monte Carlo techniques. Elementary pencil-beam dose distributions taking into account transport of all relevant types of released charged particles (protons, deuterons, tritons, 3He and a particles) were calculated and used to derive several absorbed dose distributions.

  6. 4. Neutron Halo Nuclei

    Author : Katarina Wilhelmsen Rolander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In light nuclei close to the neutron drip-line a spatially extended neutron distribution, the neutron, halo occurs. This is due to the relatively small binding energy of the last neutrons which makes possible quantum mechanical tunnelling of the last neutron(s) far away from the nuclear core. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dosimetry and radiation quality in fast-neutron radiation therapy : A study of radiation quality and basic dosimetric properties of fast-neutrons for external beam radiotherapy and problems associated with corrections of measured charged particle cross-sections

    Author : Jonas Söderberg; Gudrun Alm Carlsson; Crister Ceberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neutron; Dosimetry; Radiotherapy; Monte Carlo; Microdosimetry; Cross-section; RBE; LET; Energy-loss corrections; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

    Abstract : The dosimetric properties of fast-neutron beams with energies ≤80 MeV were explored using Monte Carlo techniques. Taking into account transport of all relevant types of released charged particles (electrons, protons, deuterons, tritons, 3He and α particles) pencil-beam dose distributions were derived and used to calculate absorbed dose distributions.
