Photonuclear reactions occur when high-energy photons interact with atomic nuclei, resulting in the ejection of one or more nucleons or the emission of other subatomic particles. These reactions serve ...

A joint research team has made important progress in the field of photoneutron cross section measurement. The team proposed a substitution measurement method that avoids the use of expensive and ...

Through theoretical derivation, researchers have concluded that a simple linear relationship exists between the reactivity of molten salt reactors and the reciprocal of uranium concentration in the ...

Neutron cross section standards are important in the measurement and evaluation of all other neutron reaction cross sections. Not many cross sections can be defined as absolute - most are measured ...

The strategies foreseen for future development and employment of nuclear power generation underline the use of nuclear energy systems in which the nuclear fuel contains consistent and controlled ...

The Jinping Underground Nuclear Astrophysics (JUNA) collaboration has reported a recent direct measurement of the cross section of a crucial stellar neutron source reaction, 13 C(α,n) 16 O. The study ...

Reactions occurring at a carbon atom with a tetrahedral environment proceeding through the back-side attack Walden inversion mechanism comprise one of the most important and useful classes of ...

Cross sections tell physicists how likely particles are to interact in a given way. Imagine two billiard balls rolling toward one another. The likelihood of a collision depends on easy-to-grasp ...
