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 resume Thursday, July 11.

Now, the team have adapted their accelerator to produce higher energy (up to 20 million eV) ‘fast neutrons’, which travel up to 60 million m/s and can kill cancer by attacking the tumour cell ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

(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 ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. "Understanding the birth masses of neutron ...

"This award is a part of the Department of Energy’s Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) program, which is focused on building research capacity at academic institutions, like Alabama ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions ... Canada's national particle accelerator centre, the breakthrough marks the first-ever measurement of ...
