Development of neutron scattering kernels for cold neutron reflector materials
The newest neutron scattering applications are highly intensity-limited techniques that demand reducing the neutron losses between source and detectors. In addition, the nuclear industry demands more accurate data and procedures for the design and optimization of advanced fission reactors, especially for the treatment of fuel and moderator materials. To meet these demands, it is necessary to improve the existing calculation tools, through the generation of better models that describe the interaction of neutrons with the systems of interest. The Neutron Physics Department at Centro Atomico Bariloche (CNEA, Argentina) has been developing over the time new models for the interaction of slow neutrons with materials, to produce scattering kernels and cross section data in the thermal and cold neutron energy region. Besides the studies carried out on neutron moderators, we have recently begun looking at materials that could serve as efficient neutron reflectors over those energy ranges. In this work we present the results of transmission and scattering experiments on diamond nanopowder and magnesium hydride, carried out simultaneously at the VESUVIO spectrometer (ISIS, UK), and compare them with newly generated cross-section libraries.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
