Neutron-induced reactions can be used to study the properties of nuclear materials in the field of nuclear safeguards and security. The elemental and isotopic composition of these materials can be determined by using the presence of resonance structures in the reaction cross sections as fingerprints. This idea is the basis of two non-destructive analytical techniques which have been developed...

National space agencies and commercial companies continue to develop plans for long-term space missions outside the protection of the Earth's magnetosphere. An important concern for astronauts participating in these missions are the health effects from galactic cosmic rays (GCR). The GCR consist of protons, helium, and heavy ions with energy spectrum peaking at a few hundred MeV/nucleon,...

Promotion of nuclear applications for peaceful purposes and related capacity building is among the missions of the IAEA. In this context, accelerator applications and nuclear instrumentation is one of the thematic areas, where the IAEA supports its Member States in strengthening their capabilities to adopt and benefit from the usage of accelerators. A number of activities are being implemented...

NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) is investigating electron screened, enhanced nuclear reactions in deuterated materials exposed to bremsstrahlung photons with kinetic energies above and below the deuteron photo-dissociation energy. Recent experiments used a continuous beam Dynamitron electron accelerator with a braking target. Previously published research shows gamma spin-up evidence of...

157Gd and 155Gd play a crucial role in the neutronics of thermal spectrum systems; this is due to their extremely high capture cross section at low neutron energies, so high that they can compete very efficiently with 235U and 239Pu in neutron absorption, even at very low atomic concentrations. Thanks to this characteristic, Gd odd isotopes can play either the role of parasitic neutron...

MYRRHA is conceived as an Accelerator Driven System (ADS).It consists of a proton linear accelerator (linac) of 600 MeV, a spallation neutron source and a nuclear core cooled by liquid Lead-Bismuth (LBE). The 600 MeV accelerator of MYRRHA is a high intensity proton machine, delivering a proton beam on a spallation target. The high-energy protons are used in this target to create neutrons by...

The n_TOF Collaboration, neutron time-of-flight, is the spallation neutron source facility located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) based on a 20 GeV/c proton beam impinging on a lead target. n_TOF is a unique facility in the world due to the state-of-the-art of detectors, the data acquisition system and the characteristics of its neutron beam, i.e., high instantaneous...

The fission process induced by gamma quantas up to 25 MeV energy on 238U was analyzed. Experimental observables as cross sections, fragments mass distribution yields of some nuclides of interest and average prompt neutrons multiplicity characterizing 238U photofission were theoretically evaluated by using TALYS-1.9 software. Also results for the theoretical evaluations of isomer ratios using...
