A 3He beam stop for minimizing gamma-ray and fast-neutron background

August 6, 2016
Author(s)
Danyal J. Turkoglu, Robert G. Downing, Wangchun Chen, Dagistan Sahin, Jeremy C. Cook
Prompt gamma-ray activation analysis facilities with high neutron currents (≥109 s-1) generate triton-induced fast neutrons from 6Li-loaded collimators and beam stops at rates that soon damage gamma-ray detectors. We develop an alternative beam stop design

Data Acquisition and Analysis Software for Gamma Coincidence Spectrometry

July 1, 2016
Author(s)
Martin Girchis Shetty, Dagistan Sahin
Coincidence counting in neutron activation analysis has well-known advantages, such as enhancement of signal and reduction in background. One obstacle to the wider use of this technique is the complexity of the data acquisition and reduction systems that

NGD Cold Neutron Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis Spectrometer at NIST

April 1, 2015
Author(s)
Rick L. Paul, Dagistan NMN Sahin, Jeremy C. Cook, Christoph W. Brocker, Richard M. Lindstrom, Donna J. O'Kelly
A new instrument for cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CNPGAA) has been designed and constructed as part of the recent expansion of the cold neutron guide hall at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). Located on neutron guide NGD

Reevaluation of Neutron Flux Characterization Parameters for NIST RT-2 Facility

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Dagistan Sahin, Vladimir Radulovic, Richard M. Lindstrom, Andrej Trkov
It has been difficult to characterize the thermal to epithermal neutron flux ratio (f) and the measure of the nonideal epithermal neutron flux distribution (α) for the RT-2 pneumatic rabbit facility at the NIST National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR)
