Fast neutron resonance radiography for element imaging : theory and applications
Fast Neutron Resonance Radiography (NRR) has been devised as an elemental imaging method, with immediate applications to detecting explosives and drugs in passenger suitcases. In the NRR method, the 2-D elemental mapping of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and the sum of other elements are …

Computational treatments for neutron resonance elastic scattering in Monte Carlo nuclear simulations
… This work investigates the phenomenon of neutron resonance scattering with a moving target, which can affect the post-collision properties of the neutron and macroscopic values such as temperature reactivity coefficients. First, this research validates a faster computational treatment for …

Towards the development of an explosives detection system using Neutron Resonance Radiography
… that mandate screening 100% of checked luggage. Neutron Resonance Radiography (NRR) has been under investigation as a supplement to conventional x-ray systems as a non-invasive, non-destructive means of detecting explosive material in checked luggage. Using fast (1-6 MeV) neutrons produced by an …

Compact Capabilities: Developing and Evaluating a Field-Portable Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis System
… an experimental evaluation of a portable Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) system sensitive to isotopes with neutron capture resonances in the epithermal range (1-100 eV). NRCA is a technique traditionally used for nuclear data collection and nondestructive assay of archaeological …

Feasibility study of compact Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis using a linac, a fusion-based neutron generator, and an isotopic source
… nuclear materials in a black box target. Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis (NRTA) is a spectroscopic technique which uses resonant neutron absorption to identify isotopic compositions. Previous NRTA experiments have used expensive beam line facilities with kilometer-long …

Exclusive π- Electro-Production From the Neutron in the Resonance Region
<p>The study of baryon resonances is crucial to our understanding of nucleon structure. Although the excited states of the proton have been studied in great detail, there are very few data available for the neutron resonances because of the difficulty inherent in obtaining a free neutron target. To …
