The RMS radius of neutrons within a nucleus may be measured cleanly, and without model dependence arising from hadronic interactions, through the parity-violating electroweak asymmetry in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons. The PREX2 and CREX experiments recently measured the neutron radius of lead-208 and calcium-48 with varied physical implications from the...
The iThemba LABS fast neutron beam facility (D-line vault) is an international niche facility that can provide ns-pulsed quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams in the energy range of 30 to 200 MeV. Other available neutron beam facilities, with energy range similar to this facility, are described in details by the EURADOS (European Radiation Dosimetry) Report [1]. In the D-line, quasi-monoenergetic...
Flow following tracer particles containing short lived positron emitting species are placed inside physical and engineering devices. The pairs of photons produced by positron annihilation are detected in coincidence by large arrays of high speed position sensitive detectors, and used to determine the near-instantaneous position of the tracer. Hence the resulting bulk dynamics occurring inside...
