Mercury target systems are a cornerstone in modern spallation neutron sources, where high-energy proton beams induce spallation reactions in liquid mercury to produce intense neutron fluxes required ...
In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...
As Europe’s neutron supply could fall by as much as half within the next couple of decades, newly developed sources could stave off the decline, as Jon Cartwright reports Smaller and better?
