Unambiguous Identification of the Second 2+ State in 12C and the Structure of the Hoyle State
W. R. Zimmerman, M. W. Ahmed, B. Bromberger +11
The second 2+ state of 12C, predicted over fifty years ago as an excitation of the Hoyle state, has been unambiguously identified using the 12C(g,a_0)8Be reaction. The alpha partic…
Monte-Carlo Simulations of Radiation-Induced Activation in a Fast-Neutron and Gamma- Based Cargo Inspection System
B. Bromberger, D. Bar, M. Brandis +9
An air cargo inspection system combining two nuclear reaction based techniques, namely Fast-Neutron Resonance Radiography and Dual-Discrete-Energy Gamma Radiography is currently be…
A Dual-Purpose Ion-Accelerator for Nuclear-Reaction-Based Explosives-and SNM-Detection in Massive Cargo
M. B. Goldberg, V. Dangendorf, D. Vartsky +15
A dual-purpose ion-accelerator concept, capable of serving as radiation source in a versatile, nuclear-reaction-based cargo inspection system, is presented. The system will automat…
Low-Afterglow, High-Refractive-Index Liquid Scintillators for Fast-Neutron Spectrometry and Imaging Applications
Ronald Lauck, Michal Brandis, Benjamin Bromberger +5
For ion and neutron spectrometry and imaging applications at a high intensity pulsed laser facility, fast liquid scintillators with very low afterglow are required. Furthermore, ne…
Multi-Frame Energy-Selective Imaging System for Fast-Neutron Radiography
Volker Dangendorf, Doron Bar, Benjamin Bromberger +7
A new instrument for high resolution imaging of fast-neutrons is presented here. It is designed for energy selective radiography in nanosecond-pulsed broad-energy (1 - 10 MeV) neut…
Optical Readout Time Projection Chamber (O-TPC) for a Study of Oxygen Formation In Stellar Helium Burning
Moshe Gai, Amos Breskin, Rachel Chechik +2
We are developing an Optical Readout Time Projection Chamber (O-TPC) detector for the study of the 12C(a,g)16O reaction that determines the ratio of carbon to oxygen in helium burn…
Detectors for Energy-Resolved Fast Neutron Imaging
V. Dangendorf, A. Breskin, R. Chechik +8
Two detectors for energy-resolved fast-neutron imaging in pulsed broad-energy neutron beams are presented. The first one is a neutron-counting detector based on a solid neutron con…
Recent Investigations of Cascaded GEM and MHSP detectors
R. Chechik, A. Breskin, G. P. Guedes +6
We present results from our recent investigations on detectors comprising cascaded gas electron multipliers (GEM) and cascaded GEMs with micro-hole and strip (MHSP) electrodes. We…
High Resolution Heavy Ion Track Structure Imaging
G. Laczko, V. Dangendorf, M. Kraemer +2
The difference in the relative biological efficincy (RBE) of ions of same linear energy transfer (LET) but different atomic number (Z) can be attributed to the difference in the ra…
Fast Neutron Resonance Radiography in a Pulsed Neutron Beam
V. Dangendorf, G. Laczko, C. Kersten +2
The feasibility of performing fast neutron resonance radiography at the PTB accelerator facility is studied. A neutron beam of a broad spectral distribution is produced by a pulsed…
