Isotopic Measurements of SNM using a Portable Neutron Resonance Transmission System for Arms Control
Mital A. Zalavadia, Ethan A. Klein, Michael E. Moore +4
Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis (NRTA) was explored as an arms control verification approach to support potential future nuclear weapon limiting treaties. A compact and por…
Data-driven optimization of pixelated CdZnTe spectrometers for uranium enrichment assay
Jayson R. Vavrek, Thomas D. MacDonald, Hannah S. Parrilla +3
In recent work [Vavrek et al. (2025)], we developed the performance optimization framework spectre-ml for gamma spectrometers with variable performance across many readout channels…
CardSharp: A python library for generating MCNP6 input decks
Nikhil Deshmukh, Mital Zalavadia
A python library for the creation of MCNP6 input decks is described. The library supports geometry generation with automatic assignment of surface/facet numbers, cell numbers, tran…
Cosmogenic production of Ar and Ar in argon
R. Saldanha, H. O. Back, R. H. M. Tsang +6
We have experimentally determined the production rate of Ar and Ar from cosmic ray neutron interactions in argon at sea level. Understanding these production rates is…
