AbstractIn this study, the fast neutron and gamma-ray absorption capacities of the new glasses have been investigated, which are obtained by doping CoO,CdWO4,Bi2O3, Cr2O3, ZnO, LiF,B2O3 and PbO compounds to SiO2 based glasses. GEANT4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes have been used in the planning of the samples. The glasses were produced using a well-known melt-quenching technique. The effective neutron removal cross-sections, mean free paths, half-value layer, and transmission numbers of the fabricated glasses have been calculated through both GEANT4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes. Experimental neutron absorbed dose measurements have been carried out. It was found that GS4 glass has the best neutron protection capacity among the produced glasses. In addition to neutron shielding properties, the gamma-ray attenuation capacities, were calculated using newly developed Phy-X/PSD software. The gamma-ray shielding properties of GS1 and GS2 are found to be equivalent to Pb-based glass.

A new level density formula based on a microscopic calculation of the thermodynamic quantities using the deformed Hartree-Fock-BCS method is proposed. In the microscopic approach shell, pairing and deformation effects on the thermodynamic quantities are treated consistently. The final level density formula is shown to be in close agreement with experimental neutron resonance spacings and low energy states. The impact of the newly-determined level densities on nuclear reaction cross sections and rates of relevance in astrophysics applications is presented.

Values of the reduced activation resonance integral relative to the thermal cross section I′/σ0 of 74Ge and 76Ge were determined relative to gold by measuring cadmium ratios in a reactor spectrum.A lithium-drifted germanium γ-ray spectrometer was used to resolve the activities of the samples.The results for 74Ge are I′/σ0 = 1.514 ± 0.031 and I′ = 0.681 ± 0.123 b with an assumed σ0 = 0.45 ± 0.08 b; for 76GeI′/σ0 = 12.00 ± 0.16 and I′ = 1.992 ± 0.359 with an assumed σ0 = 0.166 ± 0.030 b.The values obtained for I′ are in serious disagreement with the values calculated with neutron resonance parameters and confirm previous results obtained in similar keV average resonance spacing isotopes.Due to this fact a careful evaluation of the keV neutron radiative capture cross section and resonance integral for 74Ge was undertaken.The evaluation and comparison with the experimental value of the resonance integral shows first that for nuclides with an average resonance spacing of keV the unresolved resonance integral has been seriously underestimated in many evaluations, and second that between 10 and 100 keV, resonance integrals calculated with smooth low resolution activation cross sections give a better calculation of neutron captures than that obtained with neutron resonance parameters.
