Investigating High-Energy Proton-Induced Reactions on Spherical Nuclei: Implications for the Pre-Equilibrium Exciton Model
Morgan B. Fox, Andrew S. Voyles, Jonathan T. Morrell +10
A number of accelerator-based isotope production facilities utilize 100- to 200-MeV proton beams due to the high production rates enabled by high-intensity beam capabilities and th…
An Integral Experiment on Polyethylene Using Radiative Capture in Indium Foils in a High Flux D-D Neutron Generator
Nnaemeka Nnamani, Karl van Bibber, Lee A Bernstein +2
The Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of California Berkeley built a D-D neutron generator called the High Flux Neutron Generator (HFNG). It operates in the range of 10…
Measurement of La(p,x) Cross Sections from 35-60 MeV by Stacked-Target Activation
Jonathan T. Morrell, Andrew S. Voyles, M. S. Basunia +3
A stacked-target of natural lanthanum foils (99.9119% La) was irradiated using a 60 MeV proton beam at the LBNL 88-Inch Cyclotron. La(p,x) cross sections are report…
Design, construction, and characterization of a compact DD neutron generator designed for 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
Mauricio Ayllon, Parker A. Adams, Joseph D. Bauer +15
A next-generation, high-flux DD neutron generator has been designed, commissioned, and characterized, and is now operational in a new facility at the University of California Berke…
