The cell survival curve is the only means by which to both qualitatively and
quantitatively assess morphologic alterations directly resulting from in vitro irradiation of
the cell. A ⁶⁰Co cell survival curve experiment has successfully demonstrated the
response of the AtT-20 clone mammalian cell line to the effects of gamma...
The neutron capture cross sections of ¹⁰⁶Cd, ¹⁰⁸Cd, ¹¹⁰Cd, ¹¹²Cd, ¹¹⁴Cd and ¹¹⁶Cd were determined in the present project. Four different OSU TRIGA reactor facilities were used to produce redundancy in the results and to measure the thermal cross section and resonance integral separately. When the present values were compared...
Real-time, high efficiency neutron spectroscopy has, historically, been a persistent challenge in the field of radiation detection and, for the most part, has gone unsolved. The most promising method to resolve this challenge, is the boron-capture technique using an organic scintillation system (BC-523a). Detectors that utilize this method possess an...
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...
Fortuitous dosimeters are radiosensitive objects carried by an individual who was exposed to radiation. These objects can be analyzed some time after exposure and the results can be used to aid in calculating radiation fields and doses received by individuals. Items that make good fortuitous dosimeters are those that are...
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...
