Studies that explore how the denser sections of atoms, known as atomic nuclei, interact with neutrons (i.e., particles with ...

An international team of researchers led by the University of Surrey has successfully measured a nuclear reaction that plays ...

Neutron cross section standards are important in the measurement and evaluation of all other neutron reaction cross sections. Not many cross sections can be defined as absolute - most are measured ...

This makes the resulting thermal (‘slow’) neutrons fall right within the neutron cross section for U-235 and a few other elements (e.g. Pu isotopes), but incapable of fissioning most ...

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 theorized. The study, led by the ...

The NGATLAS contains neutron capture cross sections in the range 10-5eV - 20MeV as evaluated ... available upon request from the IAEA Nuclear Data Section.

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

EXPERIMENTS on the processes arising in thorium under neutron bombardment have shown ... So far, the capture cross-section of thermal neutrons in thorium has not been measured.

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful analytical technique ... This difference in interaction mechanism leads to some key distinctions: X-rays have a higher scattering cross-section for elements with ...

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 ...
