The primary activation mainly arises from the interaction of the proton or deuteron beam and the neutron-producing target. The secondary activation results from neutron-induced reactions with elements ...

In principle, activation analysis of chemical samples by use of 14-MeV neutrons (Fast Neutron Activation Analysis, or FNAA) is a straightforward instrumental technique. As attempts are made to improve ...

With initial research suggesting that both reactors may have broad appeal within the international technology development community, AECL and CNL are now interested in learning more about market ...

Neutron-rich tantalum offers a view of how heavy elements are forged The intense flux of neutrons the team described could have other applications, Horný adds. These include reconstructing a ...

Powerful bursts of radiation called fast radio bursts could be launched when neutron stars collide and merge, gravitational wave detections indicate.

FNG, the Frascati Neutron Generator, turns 30, one of the few 14 MeV neutron generators in the world available for fusion research and other application sectors, including aerospace, automotive, ...

Procedures are described for identifying and determining concentrations of trace impurities in minerals by means of neutron activation analysis with low neutron flux and standard gamma measurement ...

Scientists have used neutron scattering to identify the secret to a metal-organic framework's (MOF) ability to efficiently convert chemicals, through a process called catalysis, into new substances.

Neutron activation analysis, or NAA, is a promising technique that has recently found employment in the field of medicine. It is also important for geological sciences. The method has been used to ...

"Using prompt gamma neutron activation analysis, light atoms and hydrogen in particular can be detected very precisely," she continues.

Neutron Therapeutics and Cosylab announce the close of a strategic collaboration and investment agreement.

Phoenix LLC plans to construct a second neutron imaging center near the aerospace, defense, and tech hub of the San Francisco Bay Area in northern California to address the regional demand for ...
