Neutron spectroscopy with N-filled high-pressure large-volume spherical proportional counters
I. Giomataris, S. Green, I. Katsioulas +9
Precise in-situ measurements of the neutron flux in underground laboratories is crucial for direct dark matter searches, as neutron induced backgrounds can mimic the typical dark m…
Experimental Determination of Proton Hardness Factors at Several Irradiation Facilities
P. Allport, F. Bogelspacher, K. Bruce +13
The scheduled High Luminosity upgrade of the CERN Large Hadron Collider presents new challenges in terms of radiation hardness. As a consequence, campaigns to qualify the radiation…
Fast Neutron Spectroscopy with a High-pressure Nitrogen-filled Large Volume Spherical Proportional Counter
I. Giomataris, I. Katsioulas, P. Knights +7
We present a fast neutron spectroscopy system based on a nitrogen-filled, large volume gaseous detector, the Spherical Proportional Counter. The system has been successfully operat…
Neutron spectroscopy with a high-pressure nitrogen-filled spherical proportional counter
I. Giomataris, S. Green, I. Katsioulas +8
The spherical proportional counter is a large volume gaseous detector which finds application in several fields, including direct Dark Matter searches. When the detector is filled…
Ta(n,) cross-section measurement and the astrophysical origin of Ta isotope
R. Garg, S. Dellmann, C. Lederer-Woods +11
Tantalum-180m is nature's rarest (quasi) stable isotope and its astrophysical origin is an open question. A possible production site of this isotope is the slow neutron capture pro…
