The cross-section of the [Formula: see text] reaction was measured with [Formula: see text] neutrons using a natural cadmium target [Formula: see text]. The neutron fluence and mean neutron energy of the source were determined using the ISO 8529-1 neutron spectrum and the known cross-sections of the monitor reaction [Formula: see text]. In order to measure the poor [Formula: see text]-ray activity of the reaction products, an HPGe detector with 70% detection efficiency surrounded by an adequate graded shield was applied. The efficiency calculations for the detector were performed using standard point calibration sources and the EFFTRAN efficiency code. Using the measured values of the neutron flux and the induced [Formula: see text]-ray activity of [Formula: see text], the cross-section of the [Formula: see text] reaction at the average neutron energy of 4.05 MeV was found to be [Formula: see text] mb. An estimation of the contribution to the total cross-section by the accompanied reactions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was achieved and the related cross-sections were found to be 0.16 mb and 8.99 mb, respectively.

This work is a subsequent step to study the feasibility of fast neutron fluency measurements using two different complementary methods. Np-237 samples and planar silicon detectors were mounted very close to each other on different sections of a subcritical assembly irradiated with the proton beam of 0,66 GeV (the Quinta assembly at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia) to provide both samples with the same neutron fluency. We have processed the experimental data of irradiated Np-237 actinide samples and silicon detectors directly placed on two sections of the QUINTA setup without a lead shield-reflector. Applying the try and error method we have found found that the neutron energy for which the ratio of the fission cross section to the capture cross section of the actinide Np-237 from the nuclear data base is equal to the measured ratio of the fissioned and captured actinide isotopes. The retrieved distinct fission and capture cross sections for the distinct neutron energy from the nuclear data base describe the average values. The considered above experimental and earlier obtained data have been shown that the higher is the average neutron energy the smaller is the difference of the neutron fluency measurement between the two methods. This effect has been expected since the silicon detector method efficiently measures the fast neutrons of the energy higher than about 170 keV while the actinide method covers a wider energy range.

Measurements of the cross section d2σ/dΩ1dΩ2 for the bremsstrahlung reaction p + p → p + p + γ were made with 48 ± 1 MeV incident protons. Both final protons were detected in coincidence at equal angles on either side of the beam and coplanar with the beam, and bremsstrahlung events were identified kinematically. Cross sections of 2.12 ± 0.36 and 3.04 ± 0.44 μb/sterad2 were obtained at 30° and 35°, respectively. Both measured cross sections are smaller than the predictions of Signell and Marker by about a factor of 10; this discrepancy is considered to be well established, since various tests show that our detection efficiency is nearly 100%. It is concluded that further theoretical work, especially predictions of cross sections for noncoplanar events, is needed to determine whether the discrepancy results from a strong preference for coplanar events or from some basic defect in the theory.

The total scattering cross-sections of beryllium and aluminium have been measured by a transmission method for neutrons of energies between 0∙35 and 0∙55 MeV and 1∙8 and 4∙0 MeV. Resonances have been found in the scattering by beryllium at a neutron energy of 2∙6 MeV and in the scattering by aluminium at neutron energies of 2∙4 and 2∙9 MeV. It has been shown that the cross-section for the reaction 9 Be ( n , α ) 6 He also has a resonance at 2∙6 MeV, and an accurate determination of the cross-section for this reaction has been made. A discussion is given of the properties of the energy level in 10 Be responsible for the resonances in the case of beryllium.

Flux Measurements

To accurately measure neutron-induced fission cross sections, to characterize neutron-beam lines or to make dosimetric investigations, it is necessary to have high accuracy measurements of neutron fluence. It is possible to perform independent and precise neutron flux measurements with respect to the 1H(n,n)p elastic scattering cross section. The use of a silicon detector is recommended from 1 to 70 MeV neutron energy. However, it has been observed that a high electrons background forbids its use below 1 MeV. Hence, a new gaseous proton-recoil telescope is developed and characterized to overcome this limit. It should provide quasi-absolute neutron flux measurements with an accuracy around 3% and is not sensible to gamma and electrons background. It consists in two ionization chambers read by a segmented micromegas technology detection plane. The gas pressure inside is adjustable to the proton range in the detector and therefore to the neutron energy. This detector is described in details below and the newest results of its characterization are presented. A special attention is paid to detection efficiency measurements.

AbstractThe emission of prompt and delayed gamma rays from (n,γ) and (n,n´γ) reactions induced by irradiation of indium with epithermal and fast neutrons was investigated with the instrument FaNGaS operated at Heinz-Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching. The average neutron energy of the neutron spectrum was 2.30 MeV. The measurement was done at an angle of 90° between neutron beam and detector. A total of 136 prompt gamma lines from which 42 are related to the capture of epithermal and fast neutrons and 94 to the inelastic scattering of fast neutrons were detected together with the delayed gamma lines of the activation products 113mIn, 114m2In, 115mIn, 116m2In and 116mIn. Intensities and neutron spectrum averaged isotopic partial cross section of the gamma lines are presented. Additionally the neutron spectrum averaged cross sections of the reactions, 113In(n,n´)113mIn, 113In(n,γ)114m2In, 115In(n,n´)15mIn, 115In(n, γ)116m2In and 115In(n, γ)116mIn were determined from the corresponding delayed gamma rays of the formed isotopes as 143 ± 22, 288 ± 13 194 ± 18, 201 ± 10 and 508 ± 24 mb respectively. The various results obtained were found consistent with the literature data. However, our measurement indicate the need to reevaluate the cross section of the 115In(n,γ)116m2In reaction for thermal neutrons.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.

Abstract Using modern multiloop calculation methods, we derive the analytical expressions for the total cross sections of the processes e−γ →$$ {e}^{-}X\overline{X} $$ e − X X ¯ with X = μ, γ or e at arbitrary energies. For the first two processes our results are expressed via classical polylogarithms. The cross section of e−γ → e−e−e+ is represented as a one-fold integral of complete elliptic integral K and logarithms. Using our results, we calculate the threshold and high-energy asymptotics and compare them with available results.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of an $\varepsilon $ ε -periodic 3D stable structure made of beams of circular cross-section of radius $r$ r when the periodicity parameter $\varepsilon $ ε and the ratio ${r/\varepsilon }$ r / ε simultaneously tend to 0. The analysis is performed within the frame of linear elasticity theory and it is based on the known decomposition of the beam displacements into a beam centerline displacement, a small rotation of the cross-sections and a warping (the deformation of the cross-sections). This decomposition allows to obtain Korn type inequalities. We introduce two unfolding operators, one for the homogenization of the set of beam centerlines and another for the dimension reduction of the beams. The limit homogenized problem is still a linear elastic, second order PDE.

The two-pion production in pp-collisions has been investigated in exclusive measurements from threshold up to Tp = 1.36 GeV . Total and differential cross sections have been obtained for the channels pnπ+π0, ppπ+π-, ppπ0π0 and also nnπ+π+. For intermediate incident energies Tp > 1 GeV , i.e. in the region, which is beyond the Roper excitation but at the onset of ΔΔ excitation the total ppπ0π0 cross section falls behind theoretical predictions by as much as an order of magnitude near 1.2 GeV, whereas the nnπ+π+ cross section is a factor of five larger than predicted. A model-unconstrained isospin decompostion of the cross section points to a significant contribution of an isospin 3/2 resonance other than the Δ(1232). As a possible candidate the Δ(1600) is discussed.
