Neutron reaction cross section measurements are crucial for understanding nuclear reactions and their applications in various fields, including nuclear physics, medical imaging, and radiation therapy.

A new detector at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully observed neutrons in configurations and at angles where they had previously ...

and the typical features of nuclear reactions are therefore perhaps most clearly shown by neutron impacts. Already in his original work on the properties of high-speed neutrons Chadwick recognised ...

This database, also known as EXFOR library, contains an extensive compilation of experimental nuclear reaction data, comprising data from more than 22,000 experiments. Neutron reactions have been ...

As a refresher, the water used in current commercial fission reactors acts as a moderator on the neutrons that are produced during a nuclear fission chain reaction, effectively slowing them down.

This measurement, outlined in a paper published in Physical Review Letters, is the gamma-ray-to-neutron branching ratio in ...

High-temperature superconducting magnets made from REBCO, an acronym for rare earth barium copper oxide, make it possible to ...

These neutrons carry 80% of the energy that comes from the fusion reaction, so, in general, the more neutrons, the better. However, not all kinds of fusion reactions are created equal. Thermal ...

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe. They are the core of a collapsed megastar that went supernova, have a typical radius of 10 km—just slightly more than the altitude ...

Chinese scientists sustain plasma at 100 million degrees C for 1,066 seconds in EAST, advancing nuclear fusion research.
