DiffMod is a simulation program for the evolution of a neutron ensemble in a thermal target – moderator – reflector assembly of a pulsed neutron source based on the statistical description of diffusion, scattering, moderation, and absorption processes. The spatial resolution, the energy resolution and the diffusion directions are strongly restricted to achieve calculation times in a realistic moderator – reflector assembly below 1 hour. In comparison with Monte-Carlo simulations describing the geometry and interactions between neutrons and moderator material exactly, we prove that the DiffMod approach can deliver intensities and pulse shapes that are exact within 10% compared to the Monte-Carlo simulations that require much more computing power. In addition, a time-resolved illustration of the spatial distribution of the neutrons at different energy levels is provided.
DiffMod是一个基于扩散、散射、缓和和吸收过程的统计描述的模拟程序,用于模拟脉冲中子源的热靶-慢化剂-反射器组件中中子系综的演化。空间分辨率、能量分辨率和扩散方向都受到严格限制,以使实际减震器-反射器组件的计算时间低于1小时。与蒙特卡罗模拟相比,我们证明了DiffMod方法可以提供的强度和脉冲形状精确到蒙特卡罗模拟的10%以内,而蒙特卡罗模拟需要更多的计算能力。此外,还提供了中子在不同能级上空间分布的时间分辨图。

One of the major challenges in deep space exploration are effects of cosmic rays on human body and soft error, but equally important are their effects on food resources. In this study, we focused on neutrons as the secondary particle in the deep space environment and investigated how they affect food resources. Fast neutron was irradiated by the RIKEN Accelerator-driven compact Neutron Source (RANS) on meat sample. Biochemical analysis was conducted to present concrete effects of cosmic rays on food in deep space environment. Oxidative and nitrative modifications of proteins were detected by the electrophoresis and Western blotting. The result shows that nitrative modification of tryptophan, which is an essential amino acid in protein, tended to increase with increasing neutron dose.

Systematic underestimation of uncertainties by widespread neutron-scattering data-reduction software 广泛的中子散射数据简化软件对不确定度的系统低估

Data-reduction software used at neutron-scattering facilities around the world, Mantid and Scipp, ignore correlations when propagating uncertainties in arithmetic operations. Normalization terms applied during data-reduction frequently have a lower dimensionality than the quantities being normalized. We show how the lower dimensionality introduces correlations, which the software does not take into account in subsequent data-reduction steps such as histogramming, summation, or fitting. As a consequence, any uncertainties in the normalization terms are strongly suppressed and thus effectively ignored. This can lead to erroneous attribution of significance to deviations that are actually pure noise, or to overestimation of significance in final data-reduction results that are used for further data analysis. We analyze this flaw for a number of different cases as they occur in practice. For the two concrete experiments that are comprised in these case studies the underestimation turns out to be of negligible size. There is however no reason to assume that this generalizes to other measurements at the same or at different neutron-scattering beamlines. We describe and implement a potential solution that yields not only corrected error estimates but also the full variance-covariance matrix of the reduced result with minor additional computational cost.
世界各地中子散射设施使用的数据简化软件Mantid和Scipp在算术运算中传播不确定性时忽略了相关性。在数据约简期间应用的归一化项通常具有比被归一化的量更低的维度。我们展示了较低的维度如何引入相关性,软件在随后的数据缩减步骤(如直方图、求和或拟合)中没有考虑到相关性。因此,归一化项中的任何不确定性都被强烈抑制,从而有效地忽略。这可能导致错误地将显著性归因于实际上是纯粹噪声的偏差,或者在用于进一步数据分析的最终数据缩减结果中高估显著性。我们针对实践中出现的一些不同情况分析了这个缺陷。对于这些案例研究中包含的两个具体实验,低估的大小可以忽略不计。然而,没有理由认为这可以推广到相同或不同中子散射光束线的其他测量。我们描述并实现了一种潜在的解决方案,该解决方案不仅可以产生修正的误差估计,还可以产生减少结果的完整方差-协方差矩阵,并且具有较小的额外计算成本。

Null-scattering Ti:Zr alloy (Ti67.6Zr32.4) is widely used in neutron scattering for sample containers, pressure cells and gaskets since it does not produce contaminant Bragg reflections from the sample environment. Here we report superconductivity in this material with critical temperature T c = 1.4 K, lower critical field Hc1≈ 100 Oe and upper critical field Hc2 ≈ 4500 Oe. These properties are largely independent of the amount of a small quantity of ferromagnetic iron found in materials of all providers. Our findings bear on the use of Ti:Zr in neutron scattering experiments at applied field and low temperatures.

Correlated to the neutron total reflection phenomenon is the so-called frustrated total reflection, also known as neutron channeling, observed with both thermal and cold neutrons. Within this contribution, such a phenomenon is validated in various additional distinctive Fabry–Pérot nano-resonating configurations; namely in: (i) dual reflection and transmission neutron Fabry–Pérot nano-resonator (Ni/V/Ni/Si substrate), (ii) isotope-based neutron Fabry–Pérot nano-resonator (58Ni/62Ni/58Ni/Silicon substrate), and (iii) multilayered neutron Fabry–Pérot nano-resonator of 8 superposed (B4C/Ti/B4C) single nano-resonators. While such Fabry–Pérot nano-resonators allow effective neutron trapping, the precision of the trapping time of free neutrons in such nano-resonators is governed by the Heisenberg uncertainty and hence offers, a priori, an additional attractive precise approach for potential lifetime investigations. Depending on the configuration of the Fabry–Pérot nano-resonators and the available cold neutron beam, the trapping time is found to be within the temporal regime of 3 to 19 ps. While the main intention of this contribution is to validate the possibility of trapping cold neutrons in nano-structured Fabry–Pérot resonators with a picosecond precision in various configurations, it is hoped that these preliminary results will attract the interest of the neutron lifetime community specifically and the neutron scattering community in general. The potential integration of such trapping method into the bottle or beam methods would elucidate the origin of the difference in neutron lifetime between the two approaches.
与中子全反射现象相关的是所谓的受抑全反射,也称为中子通道,在热中子和冷中子中都可以观察到。在这一贡献中,这种现象在各种不同的Fabry–Pérot纳米共振配置中得到了验证;即:(i)双反射和透射中子Fabry–Pérot纳米谐振器(Ni/V/Ni/Si衬底),(ii)基于同位素的中子Fabry-Pérot纳米谐振器(58Ni/62Ni/58Ni/硅衬底),以及(iii)8个叠置(B4C/Ti/B4C)单纳米谐振器的多层中子Fabry-Pérot纳米谐振器。虽然这种Fabry–Pérot纳米谐振器允许有效的中子捕获,但这种纳米谐振器中自由中子捕获时间的精度受海森堡不确定性的控制,因此为潜在寿命研究提供了一种额外的有吸引力的精确方法。根据Fabry–Pérot纳米谐振器的配置和可用的冷中子束,发现捕获时间在3到19 ps的时间范围内。虽然这一贡献的主要目的是验证在各种配置中以皮秒精度在纳米结构法布里-佩罗谐振器中捕获冷中子的可能性,但希望这些初步结果将引起中子寿命群体和中子散射群体的兴趣。将这种捕获方法潜在地集成到瓶或束方法中,将阐明两种方法之间中子寿命差异的根源。

Pseudo-random time modulation technique for neutron diffraction instruments on compact accelerator-driven neutron sources 小型加速器驱动中子源中子衍射仪的伪随机时间调制技术

Time modulation methods are routinely used on neutron scattering time-of-flight instruments, which exploit the time structure of neutron pulses for energy determination. In the past, complex time modulation methods were proposed, either to maximize the neutron flux which can be used, or to increase the energy resolution of the measurements. In this article, we explore the possibilities offered by such methods and in particular random modulation using statistical choppers to improve the performances of the DIoGENE scattering instrument installed around the IPHI-neutron CANS source at Saclay. We conclude that when the source is operated in continuous mode, the implementation of a statistical chopper is very efficient to perform either metallurgical studies such as strain scanning or phase transition studies. Random modulation techniques may be easily and efficiently implemented because the high capacity of modern computers enables high-speed data processing from large surface pixelated detectors.
时间调制方法通常用于中子散射飞行时间仪器,它利用中子脉冲的时间结构来确定能量。过去,为了最大限度地利用中子通量或提高测量的能量分辨率,提出了复杂的时间调制方法。在本文中,我们探讨了这些方法提供的可能性,特别是使用统计斩波随机调制来提高安装在萨克雷ihi -中子can源周围的DIoGENE散射仪的性能。我们得出的结论是,当源在连续模式下操作时,统计斩波器的实施对于执行冶金研究(如应变扫描或相变研究)非常有效。随机调制技术可以很容易和有效地实现,因为现代计算机的高容量能够从大型表面像素化探测器进行高速数据处理。

This paper describes advances performed towards the realization of the ARGITU compact neutron source. The first part of the accelerator developed by ESS-BILBAO is made of a 2.7 GHz ECR proton source, a two-solenoid Low Energy Transport Section (LEBT) and a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). We describe the main advances performed over the last year. The Ion source and LEBT have been in operation since 2019. On the installed part, some improvements have been implemented in the ion source such as a new RF coupler, RF stability loop, and a new RF source based on Solid State technology. On the RFQ side, the tuning algorithm has been validated in the cold model, the new coupler is being manufactured, the RF testing facility is being installed and the machining of the remaining segments is in good progress.

Current development status of iBNCT001, demonstrator of a LINAC-based neutron source for BNCT 用于BNCT的基于LINAC的中子源演示器iBNCT001的发展现状

The iBNCT project aims to develop “iBNCT001,” a demonstration device of the linac-based neutron irradiation facility for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) application. iBNCT001 generates an epithermal neutron beam by irradiating 8 MeV protons accelerated by a linac onto a beryllium target. Currently, the linac can drive an average proton current of 2.1 mA. Several experiments were performed using a water phantom to confirm the main physical characteristics of the neutron beam produced at the irradiation position. The measurement results demonstrated that the maximum thermal neutron flux achievable in the phantom volume was approximately 1.36 × 10 9  cm − 2  s − 1 when a normal beam collimator with a 120 mm diameter was used. This neutron beam intensity was sufficient to complete the irradiation within 30 min using the BNCT approach. In addition to normal beam collimators, extended collimators that protrude 100 mm from the wall were developed. By using an extended collimator, it is possible to prevent interference of the patient’s body with the wall when irradiating head and neck cancers. The measurement results for the extended collimator demonstrated that irradiation with the collimator could be completed within 1 h when the neutron beam is generated with an average proton current of 2.1 mA.
iBNCT项目旨在开发“iBNCT001”,这是一种用于硼中子捕获治疗(BNCT)应用的基于直线加速器的中子辐照设施的演示设备。iBNCT001通过将由直线加速器加速的8MeV质子照射到铍靶上产生超热中子束。目前,直线加速器可以驱动2.1毫安的平均质子电流。使用水模型进行了几个实验,以确认在辐照位置产生的中子束的主要物理特性。测量结果表明,当使用直径为120 mm的正常光束准直器时,体模体积中可实现的最大热中子通量约为1.36×10 9 cm−2 s−1。该中子束强度足以使用BNCT方法在30分钟内完成辐照。除了普通光束准直器外,还开发了从墙壁伸出100毫米的扩展准直器。通过使用扩展准直器,可以防止在照射头颈癌时患者身体与壁的干扰。扩展准直器的测量结果表明,当中子束以2.1mA的平均质子电流产生时,准直器的辐照可以在1小时内完成。

Currently, the linac can drive an average proton current of 2.1 mA. Several experiments were performed using a water phantom to confirm the main physical characteristics of the neutron beam produced at the irradiation position. The measurement results demonstrated that the maximum thermal neutron flux achievable in the phantom volume was approximately 1.36 × 10 9  cm − 2  s − 1 when a normal beam collimator with a 120 mm diameter was used. This neutron beam intensity was sufficient to complete the irradiation within 30 min using the BNCT approach. In addition to normal beam collimators, extended collimators that protrude 100 mm from the wall were developed. By using an extended collimator, it is possible to prevent interference of the patient’s body with the wall when irradiating head and neck cancers. The measurement results for the extended collimator demonstrated that irradiation with the collimator could be completed within 1 h when the neutron beam is generated with an average proton current of 2.1 mA.","PeriodicalId":44708,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neutron Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43353404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neutron reflectometry experiments infer the variation of the scattering length density of a smooth planar film as a function of depth averaged over the lateral dimensions of the sample from the intensity of a neutron beam reflected by the sample. Because the phase information of the neutron wave function is not preserved by an intensity measurement, most analyses rely on comparisons of data to predictions from models. Such comparisons do not provide unique solutions and can yield erroneous conclusions. A real-world example is provided. We show that in some limited cases, measurements of a sample immersed in the vapor and liquid phases of Helium may improve model selection.
中子反射实验从样品反射的中子束强度推断出光滑平面薄膜的散射长度密度随样品横向尺寸上的平均深度的变化。由于中子波函数的相位信息不能通过强度测量来保存,因此大多数分析依赖于数据与模型预测的比较。这种比较不能提供唯一的解决方案,并可能产生错误的结论。提供了一个真实的示例。我们表明,在一些有限的情况下,样品浸入气相和液相氦的测量可以改善模型的选择。
