iThemba Laboratories for Accelerator Based Sciences (LABS) is a national facility and one of business units of the National Research Foundation (NRF) in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). It is a multidisciplinary research facility that is based on the development, operation and use of a number of particle accelerators and related research equipment. The largest accelerator at the facility, a...
The National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) has developed a 45-MeV quasi-monoenergetic high-energy neutron standard field using the cyclotron of the Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application (TIARA) facility of the Takasaki Institute for Advanced Quantum Science (TIAQ), National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST). The quasi-monoenergetic neutron field...
High-energy (above ~100 MeV) neutron beams offer unique opportunities to perform e
xperiments in the fields from fundamental physics such as nuclear physics and particle physics to applied science such as studying performances of detectors and shielding materials for high-energy neutrons, soft errors of semiconductor devices, and space engineering. Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP)...
n_TOF, at CERN, is the neutron time-of-flight facility dedicated to the study of neutron-induced reactions for fundamental and applied nuclear research. With high-precision neutron cross-section data, n_TOF plays a crucial role in addressing key questions in nuclear astrophysics and for innovation in advanced nuclear technologies. In nuclear astrophysics, experiments performed at n_TOF provide...
Based on the 100 MeV proton cyclotron at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), we have established and investigated quasi-monoenergetic neutron reference radiation fields in the (70-100) MeV energy range. Quasi-monoenergetic neutrons were generated through proton bombardment on metallic Li targets with thicknesses of 3, 4, and 5 mm, followed by deflection magnets and a 3-meter-long...
