neutron yield

Their short-term goal was to increase the neutron yield.

Deviations of up to 20% in the total neutron yield per unit beam charge at 0o were found.

In one significant respect U-233 is better than uranium-235 and plutonium-239, because of its higher neutron yield per neutron absorbed.

This is important to maximize the neutron yield of the neutron tube.

The neutron yield is mostly determined by the accelerating voltage and the ion current level.

The first measurement will be of neutron yield as a function of momentum transfer and visible energy.

Thorium does not require significant refining, unlike uranium and has a higher neutron yield per neutron absorbed.

Moreover, tritium decays into helium-3, which absorbs neutrons and will thus further reduce the bomb's neutron yield.

During this stage, detailed reconstruction of kinematics will be possible, and therefore, measurements of neutron yield for event classes determined by final state particles.

During a year at Harwell in1955 he measured the neutron yield from plutonium fission as a function of the incident neutron epithermal energy.

A model for the decay of neutron yield from titanium–tritide targets is proposed based on the collisional displacement of tritium atoms by the incoming deuteron beam.

This experiment will study phenomena like proton decay, and neutrino oscillations, by analyzing neutrino interactions in gadolinium-loaded water and measuring their neutron yield.

For hydrogen isotopes, production of atomic ions is favored over molecular ions, as atomic ions have higher neutron yield on collision.

ANNIE will characterize the neutron yield of events that generate signatures similar to those of proton decay in water Cherenkov detectors.

Titanium is preferred to zirconium as it can withstand higher temperatures (200 C), and gives higher neutron yield as it captures deuterons better than zirconium.

Privately backed efforts are moving ahead as well: Last month, Lawrenceville Plasma Physics reported reaching a record for neutron yield with its "Focus Fusion" direct-to-electric generator.

By studying the neutron yield, the events captured in the fiducial volume may be separated between a variety of charged-current (CC) and neutral Current (NC) event types.

The neutron yield of such targets is lower than of tritium-saturated targets in deuteron beams, but their advantage is much longer lifetime and constant level of neutron production.

The maximum fusion yield of OMEGA so far is about 10 neutrons per shot (first achieved in 1995),and it once held the record for highest neutron yield of any inertial confinement fusion device.

Characterization of neutron yield in proton decay background events, which are predominantly encountered in atmospheric neutrino interactions in large water Cherenkov Detectors like Super-Kamiokande, would help increase confidence in the observation of proton-decay-like events.
