New measurement of Cr and Cr (n,) cross sections at n_TOF: a call for chromium nuclear data revision
P. Pérez-Maroto, C. Guerrero, A. Casanovas +8
Cr and Cr are very relevant in criticality safety benchmarks related to nuclear reactors. The discrepancies of up to 30% between the neutron capture cross section eva…
Imaging neutrons with a position-sensitive monolithic CLYC detector
J. Lerendegui-Marco, G. Cisterna, J. Hallam +9
In this work, we have developed and characterized a position-sensitive CLYC detector that acts as the neutron imaging layer and -ray Compton scatterer of the novel dual \g-ray…
Hybrid Compton-PET Imaging for ion-range verification:A Preclinical Study for Proton-, Helium-, and Carbon-Therapy at HIT
Javier Balibrea-Correa, Jorge Lerendegui-Marco, Ion Ladarescu +8
Enhanced-accuracy ion-range verification in real time shall enable a significant step forward in the use of therapeutic ion beams. Positron-emission tomography (PET) and prompt-gam…
First Pilot Tests of Compton Imaging and Boron Concentration Measurements in BNCT Using i-TED
J. Lerendegui-Marco, J. Balibrea-Correa, P. Ãlvarez-RodrÃguez +10
Dosimetry in BNCT poses significant challenges due to the indirect effect of neutrons interacting with elements within the body and uncertainties associated with the uptake of boro…
First experimental results and optimization study of the portable neutron-gamma imager GN-Vision
Jorge Lerendegui-Marco, James Hallam, Gastón Cisterna +9
GN-Vision is a compact, dual-modality imaging device designed to simultaneously localize the spatial origin of -ray and slow neutron sources, with potential applications in nuc…
A computer-vision aided Compton-imaging system for radioactive waste characterization and decommissioning of nuclear power plants
Victor Babiano-Suarez, Javier Balibrea-Correa, Ion Ladarescu +3
Nuclear energy production is inherently tied to the management and disposal of radioactive waste. Enhancing classification and monitoring tools is therefore crucial, with significa…
