Despite the often difficult and time-consuming effort of performing
experiments with fast (14 MeV) neutrons, these neutrons can offer
special insight into nucleus and other materials because of the
absence of charge. 14 MeV Neutrons: Physics and Applications
explores fast neutrons in basic science and applications to
problems in medicine, the environment, and security. Drawing on his
more than 50 years of experience working with 14 MeV neutrons, the
author focuses on: Sources of 14 MeV neutrons, including laboratory
size accelerators, small and sealed tube generators, well logging
sealed tube accelerators, neutron generators with detection of
associated alpha particles, plasma devices, high flux sources, and
laser-generated neutron sources Nuclear reactions with 14 MeV
neutrons, including measurements of energy spectra, angular
distributions, and deductions of reaction mechanism Nuclear
reactions with three particles in the final state induced by
neutrons and the identification of effects of final state
interaction, quasi-free scattering, and charge-dependence of
nuclear forces Charged particle and neutron detection methods,
particularly position-sensitive detectors Industrial applications
of nuclear analytical methods, especially in the metallurgy and
coal industries Quality assurance and quality control measures for
nuclear analytical methods Nuclear and atomic physics-based
technology for combating illicit trafficking and terrorism Medical
applications, including radiography, radiotherapy, in vivo neutron
activation analysis, boron neutron therapy, collimated neutron
beams, and dosimetry This book reflects the exciting developments
in both fundamental nuclear physics and the application of fast
neutrons to many practical problems. The book shows how 14 MeV
neutrons are used in materials detection and analysis to
effectively inspect large volumes in complex environments.
