Investigation Into the Use of a Lead Slowing Down Spectrometer for Neutron Cross Section Analysis

Creator:

Keppen, Jackson D.

Abstract:

A lead slowing-down spectrometer (LSDS) was modeled in the hopes of beginning a nuclear data development campaign at Oregon State University. An LSDS can be used for neutron interrogation techniques, such as determining isotopic inventory of a sample of unknown components or determining the cross section of a sample of...

Monte Carlo model of a capture gamma ray analyzer for a seafloor core sample

Creator:

Almasoumi, Abdullah Muhammad Sultan

Abstract:

Of great benefit, but not limited to seafloor mineral exploration, is a technique that fairly rapidly determines the composition of a drilled vibracore (in a time comparable to the time involved in obtaining the core). The rapid assessment is desired to predict whether a given region warrants further exploration by...

Monte Carlo design and simulation of a shipboard ²⁵²Cf-based PGNAA analyzer for the sensitivity analysis of seafloor cores

Creator:

Anand, Ajay, 1961-

Abstract:

The seabed is envisaged to meet the increased future demands for minerals from the rapidly growing industrialized societies of the world. Shipboard analysis of cores can significantly reduce the cost and time spent at the exploratory drilling stage by obviating the need to go back to land for analysis. It...
