Characterization of ultracold neutron production in thin solid deuterium films at the PSI Ultracold Neutron source
G. Bison, B. Blau, W. Chen +13
We determined the ultracold neutron (UCN) production rate by superthermal conversion in the solid deuterium (sD) moderator of the UCN source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI…
Proton induced activity in graphite - comparison between measurement and simulation
Daniela Kiselev, Ryan Bergmann, Dorothea Schumann +2
The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) operates the Meson production target stations E and M with 590 MeV protons at currents of up to 2.4 mA. Both targets consist of polycrystalline gra…
Solid deuterium surface degradation at ultracold neutron sources
A. Anghel, T. L. Bailey, G. Bison +27
Solid deuterium (sD_2) is used as an efficient converter to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN). It is known that the sD_2 must be sufficiently cold, of high purity and mostly in its…
On the accuracy of Monte Carlo based beam dynamics models for the degrader in proton therapy facilities
V. Rizzoglio, A. Adelmann, C. Baumgarten +3
In a cyclotron-based proton therapy facility, the energy changes are performed by means of a degrader of variable thickness. The interaction of the proton beam with the degrader cr…
Neutron production and thermal moderation at the PSI UCN source
H. Becker, G. Bison, B. Blau +12
We report on gold foil activation measurements performed along a vertical channel along the tank of the ultracold neutron source at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The activities obta…
